About the episode

Sometimes great things can come out of menopause, like we talked about in our glow up episode. But other times life is heavy and our menopause symptoms aren’t making it any easier.

This episode was inspired by Melani Sanders (founder of the “We Do Not Care Club”) and her vulnerable and unfiltered social media post about having a down day. You’re not alone, Melani. We have those days, too.

It’s important to acknowledge the hard days, to give ourselves the space and grace to feel what we’re feeling. So come join us. Let’s talk about the messy stuff. Let’s commiserate, and maybe even find a little comfort in the process.
