Episode Summary

On this week's episode of Sisters Social Call, Krista and Stacey share their thoughts on Miranda July's book All Fours as part of their Slow Readers Book Club. They reflect on the themes of isolation and connection with the book. Krista gave it a 7/10 and Stacey found it pretty cringey.

After their discussion they announced their next book for the Slow Readers Book Club, The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and the Facts. Stacey picked this book hoping to find some information that can support her in post-menopausal life (diagnose POI at 37) and as a gift as Krista starts her perimenopausal journey.
