Let's chat about menopause and andropause, two natural processes that happen as we grow older. You might be thinking "Oh no, not the dreaded CHANGE!" Hey it's not so bad!
Menopause (and andropause) are like seasons of life that bring amazing opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery. When our bodies go through these changes, we gain wisdom and see the world in new ways.
Forget the old ideas that say menopause are bad things. We're here to see the good parts that people often overlook. They give us freedom from certain responsibilities, help us understand ourselves better, and keep our emotions balanced.
This is not a scientific learning episode, just 3 ladies shootin' the breeze about a topic no one ever wants to talk about! And in case you were wondering what Andropause is, click here!
