In this episode, you'll learn:
Ever notice how life comes at you in phases? One minute everyone's getting engaged, the next they're having babies, and just when you think you've got this adult thing figured out, there's a whole new transition waiting around the corner.
I'm turning 40 this year, and suddenly menopause has appeared on my radar. Not because I'm experiencing it yet, but because I'm starting to realize it's this massive life event that nobody talks about until it's happening. And by then, most women are completely blindsided.
It's wild when you think about it. We get the puberty talk. We have baby showers. But menopause? Complete radio silence. Like we're all supposed to just silently suffer through one of life's biggest transitions because... periods are icky and aging is scary? Give me a break. Half the population goes through this, and we still can't talk about it without whispering.
Today our guest is Tamsen Fadal. She's a news anchor who found herself collapsed on a bathroom floor from symptoms nobody had warned her about, only to discover she was in menopause. After being left to figure it out alone, she's now fighting to change how we handle this universal female experience.
