24 - Masking for Life | The Sleepy Sisters Podcast
Sleepy Sisters

Most people hide parts of themselves based on the setting or people they're around. For many, these "masks" are acquired very early in life and, in some cases, people do not realize they are wearing them. Part of adulthood is coming to terms with the ways we stay safe in the world, but what if we lose the ability to mask? Let's talk about it.

A LOT changes between childhood and adolescence, so how do we support kids growing in confidence and independence if we're not sure they can handle it? Sarah is a parent of three kids who have/are becoming teens, and is a former middle and elementary school teacher who worked with neurodivergent students. I learned a lot in this chat and hope you do, too! - Elizabeth

11 - Menopause Story Time | The Sleepy Sisters Podcast
Sleepy Sisters
03/22/24 • 43 min
Perimenopause and menopause are making their way into online chatter, but that wasn't the case a few years ago when we went through The Big Transition. In this episode, we're sharing our perimenopause stories and how we discovered what was happening to us. Elizabeth went through menopause early at age 41 followed by Sarah a couple of years later in her late 40's. There is so much we wish we had known then, so this is our attempt to put it out into the world.
If you think this doesn't apply to you, please give a listen so you can support someone you will surely know who will experience menopause.
