Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is joined by her husband Dr. Rodd Stockwell, to unpack the art of problem-solving in marriage.

They stress the importance of clearly identifying the type of conversation you're having, whether it's venting, seeking emotional support, problem-solving, or something else. You need to know which kind of communication you need, and which kind of communication your spouse needs. When there's a problem, before diving into practical solutions, it's essential to address any emotional baggage first.

When the emotional air is cleared, real solutions arise so don't hesitate to take detours when unexpected emotional issues present.

• Setting The Stage: Before diving into problem-solving, ensure that both partners are on the same page about the type of conversation they are having.
• Emotional Alignment: Make sure both partners feel heard, seen, and emotionally aligned on the issue before moving on to practical problem-solving.
• Teamwork: Approach problem-solving as a team, sitting on the same side of the table, so to speak. Avoid making it about one person being right or wrong.
• Efficient Problem-Solving: If emotions or conflicts arise during the process, address them first, and then return to the problem-solving discussion.
• Building Connection: Successful problem-solving enhances connection and intimacy in the relationship, leading to more efficient and harmonious interactions in daily life.

Whether you're a woman in the midst of menopause, anticipating it, or close to someone who is, you are invited to join a candid, provocative conversation in a safe space where all experiences are honored.

"The Invitation" is an expansive, meaningful dialogue between two friends that unfolds organically as the authors discuss the nuances of their individual experiences, challenge widely held social constructs, and give rise to empowering new perspectives on the menopause paradigm.

There are also important contributions from three women with diverse backgrounds who share their heartbreaking and poignant personal journeys of feeling abandoned by the medical system and betrayed by their own bodies.

"The Invitation" is not about medical treatments or behavioral solutions. It's about creating a collective sisterhood; engaging in open, honest dialogue; and validating and empowering one another to embody a different and more inspiring relationship with menopause.
