One month into post-menopause, I’m checking in on what has actually changed, and surprisingly, a lot of it has been positive.

In this episode of What the Pause?!, I share how I’m feeling after my first four weeks on the other side of menopause. I talk about the freedom of finally being DONE with periods, why HRT is still an important part of my life, the return of my energy and motivation to get back into the gym, and how I’m learning to think differently about my body at 54.

I’m also starting a brand-new job at 54, which feels like a pretty powerful reminder that this stage of life is NOT about winding down.
