The workplace can be a difficult and sometimes dangerous place for solo moms. But can you imagine dealing with the hormonal effects of your monthly cycle or symptoms of menopause while trying to fit in at work?

Women, especially women going through menopause are outnumbered in the boardroom and all signs point to the fact that talking about the symptoms of menopause or even mentioning that you have hot flashes can be career suicide.

Kind of strange right?

Dr. Nancy Belcher breaks down the symptoms of menopause and how hormone therapy can help to master hormonal imbalance during menopause.

Regardless of the stigma associated with hormonal changes in our bodies the onus is on us to own our experience and not be timid to talk about what we're going through.

Nancy also encourages moms to talk openly with their daughters about the stages women go through especially from puberty to menopause.

Setting goals shouldn't be a random event in your life. Goal setting gives you the roadmap you need to live an abundant life. It's pointless complaining about what isn't working for you if you are reluctant to make the changes necessary to gain clarity of purpose.

So ditch the New Years Resolution and set goals using your birthday as a trigger.

Tip #4: Creating and tracking your goals frees you from struggling with life. Yes, you will still feel pain but you can focus your energy on your goals instead of your struggles.

America's Reading Ambassador, Danny Brassell gave me an exciting interview in this episode. It was fun because Danny is as excited about reading as I am. He's the author of several books about reading and leadership.

In addition, Danny has this quick tip for parents who think their kids watch too much TV and not enough reading: Turn on the Closed Caption feature on the television.

Closed Caption is the reason Finland's kids are top readers even though they watch more television.

This interview is filled with anecdotes and stories that will warm your heart and let you want to go read to your kids right now.

See what Danny and his partner are doing to help eliminate cyberbullying with Cybersmarties.
