This bonus episode we talk to author Ada Calhoun about her current New York Times Best Selling Book WHY WE CAN'T SLEEP: WOMEN'S NEW MIDLIFE CRISIS.

This is the inaugural book for our Virtual Book Club and we picked it because it speaks directly to midlife women.  Ms. Calhoun spoke to a variety of Generation X women who expressed similar stresses with money, relationships, family and work.  She cites research which shows that there are unique circumstances for midlife women.  We are a generation of women who were told we could be anything but then we were expected to juggle everything.

In Episode 19, Hot Flashes & Cool Topics interviews NJ attorney Christina Previte who specializes in Silver Divorces.  Divorces for couples who are in midlife and beyond are increasing and we discuss with Christina why this trend is happening.  

She breaks down the differences between a Millenial Divorce with young children, custody arrangements, visitation, child support vs. a Silver Divorce with adult children in college, dividing retirement assets, social security and selling the marital home.  It is an enlightening conversation about divorce options.

We also discuss the benefits of mediation for both parties and how to move on from a challenging divorce.

* Be advised that neither Christina Previte nor Hot Flashes & Cool Topics are offering legal advice on this podcast.  This is a discussion of the trend of Silver Divorces and its uniqueness.  Please contact an attorney in your area to discuss state by state laws that may apply.*

Bridgette and Colleen describe their own personal perimenopausal and menopausal journeys.  

Colleen is in perimenopause and explains her symptoms including brain fog, weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, hot flashes and night sweats.  It started around age 47 and continues today.  She is just starting to enter into a more transitional phase of menopause and has a great deal of anxiety imaging the next part of the process. Colleen finds that exercise helps relieve some of the stress and sleep is an absolute necessity. 

Bridgette is post menopausal and currently on HRTs.  She was suffering from debilitating hot flashes & night sweats until she went on hormonal replenishments.  Now on a cocktail of bioidentical hormones, her menopausal symptoms have improved greatly.  She also suffered from weight gain, insomnia, brain fog and night sweats. Her enjoyment of tennis, yoga and Pure Barre also help with her mental focus.

Hot Flashes & Cool Topics will be diving into the topic of menopause by interviewing doctors, nutritionists, psychologists and many more with expertise in perimenopause and menopause. We want to continue the dialogue and information for our listeners so that it is no longer a taboo subject.

Every women has a different story to tell about her menopause journey.  We want to hear yours as well so please share on our website or email: [email protected]
