LET'S TALK MENOPAUSE: Not Feeling Like Yourself Anymore


Listen Later

I haven’t felt like myself in almost 15 years. In my 30’s, I started noticing significant changes to and in my body, yet I’ve been told by just about every doctor that my blood work is normal and I’m “fine”. Here’s the thing: I don’t feel fine. 


And I bet you don’t, either. 


This is my most requested series to date: a conversation about menopause, perimenopause, and not feeling like ourselves anymore. 


I’ve invited experts, friends, and my husband to the conversation, and we’re answering all the questions you submitted, so that you can feel hopeful, maybe for the first time in a long time. 


In this episode, my friends Kim and Patrice share their real experiences about what’s been happening to their bodies, why they don’t feel like themselves, and how the medical community has dismissed them. 


If you’ve been dismissed or felt helpless, you’re not alone. But know this: help is on the way through this month-long series. 


Life Happens. Let’s Talk About it. 



SUMMARY: 

In this episode, we are digging into the crazy symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, our experiences of bringing our concerns to our doctors and being dismissed as “fine”, how we can advocate for ourselves as women, and why the menopause conversation is so important, not only for us but for our daughters.
