What do you wish you’d known about menopause before you got here? Will you pass on information to your daughter differently? Here’s one chance. This episode is a fun jaunt both into the deep wants and wishes we all feel and some of us express. 

We do a fun rapid fire game where I list symptoms of menopause and Dr. Stills fires back what it makes her consider first. 

This episode is sponsored by the Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist course. I share more about it in the She Means Fitness Business podcast for fitness professionals.
