No one really prepares you for what perimenopause and menopause can actually feel like.

In this episode we get candid about their personal experiences with menopause from unexpected body changes, exhaustion and hot flashes to mood swings, sleep problems, changing sex drives and the impact it can have on relationships and marriage.

But the conversation doesn't stop there. We also discuss learning when to protect your private life, dealing with judgment on social media, faith and raising children with their own beliefs, and why wisdom sometimes means knowing what doesn't need to be shared with the internet.
