This one!! We need to talk about menopause, hormones, and everything involved more. So many folks look at menopause as a time when women become “broken” so it’s not discussed and makes us feel shameful. It’s not shameful!! It’s natural!! You’re normal!!
I’m very lucky that my friend group has 3 women at different stages of our lives. My one friend in her 50s is going through the hot flashes and hormonal cycles right now, she always talks about it with us. I’m in my 40s and going through the perimenopause phase; the wild hormone fluctuations with accompanying mood swings, and the sleep deprivation, the sleep one is new and I HATE it. My other friend is in her late 30s and listens to us so she knows what she’s going to experience and will be able to identify when symptoms start.
