Wendy and I are apart so naturally I did my best to convince my mother to do another episode with me; this time we talk menopause instead of sex education. We touch on my mother's experience with menopause, how often she has discussed it with other people, the different symptoms women experience, how women of colour's menopause experiences differ from white women's, and more! 

Menopause is a beast of a topic and I ended up cutting our discussion about the effect menopause has on an increased risk of osteoporosis, and the modern day treatments for menopausal symptoms. If you are interested in those topics surrounding menopause I suggest doing some research, there are plenty of resources out there. Enjoy and drink tea!
