Alicia, you gifted me the phrase “you are in a transformation space” and if that helps to embrace (however reluctantly) your meno symptoms, that concept is helping me right now.
I noticed the backlog of requests at the Los Angeles Public Library for “The Menopause Manifesto” is a 9 week wait for the audiobook, and there are 22 copies of the ebook in use, and 6 people per copy on the wait list. I just sent my copy to a friend who is just beginning her journey. We are hungry to understand our bodies.
I attended a ladies’ tea on Sunday (more hippie than as bougie than it sounds) and those at my table were transfixed by the saga of one woman describing her struggle with her symptoms. But we all held her in empathy and some said what Jen just said: it is a phase in our lives and it will shift ❤️ Keep writing; your humor about it is bound to help other women.
Lots of love to you, Alica. I'm not sure where I'm at in the menopause spectrum but I, like every woman I know in my age range, we're trying to figure it out and not suffer. I appreciate that we are open to talking about it. Thank you for being open enough to admit that even you too (I always see you as poised and put together) can be slobby and gobby. xoxo
LORDY I am so not put together right now! Everything feels discombobulated (I've waited all my life to use that word, and now I wish I didn't have to!), but I just keep listening to older women telling me it's going to pass. In the meantime I'm just sleeping as much as possible, trying to avoid more than one news check a day, lifting heavier weights, and increasing my protein intake as we're all supposed to do at this stage of our lives. Miss you!
I love you always, slobby or gobby. ❤️ I know you've probably heard this from other postmeno peeps but here goes: This too shall pass.
Thanks, that means more than you know :)

Thanks so much, I know you know! My gnarled goblin hand blows you a kiss :)
