Rolonda On Demand

CEO Rochelle Weitzner created a new skincare and beauty brand in a flash -- a menopausal flash, that is! Something she admits scared her so much she had to find out more about it. What she reveals in this episode was even scarier; She had nowhere to turn as nobody was talking about this natural change in a woman's body. Not even our mothers! So Rochelle took it up herself to embrace her menopausal years and give voice, community and well-aging beauty products to millions of other women of a certain age in the three stages of menopause. (Many of us don't even know there are three stages!) 

Her beauty products include, a collagen boosting moisturizer, a cooling mist spray for hot flashes, and a special tool to combat sagging.

I first met Rochelle when I joined a group of stand up comedians to perform menopause comedy at the world-famous Caroline's on Broadway for the launch of PAUSE. You'll hear snippets of our sets during this episode. Rochelle believes laughter brings us together and makes even menopause easier to accept.

And, GOOD NEWS!!! Rochelle is offering my listeners a 15% discount on all of her products, if you use the code ROLONDA15!!!!  Visit her website at pausewellaging.com.
