Menopause, Magic, and the Characters Who Save Us

from Vlogging Pod · host Eri Nelson

Teri Brown returns to talk about life, writing and the messy funny truth of menopause as she shares her new character Peg and the upcoming book Peg Unhinged. Through stories about hot flashes, brain fog, late onset asthma, changing bodies and calling out nonsense more boldly with age, she and the host connect these experiences to the powerful women in Teri’s historical fiction and children’s books. They explore how her work is always driven by strong characters who grow through hardship, how hope and reinvention keep showing up on the page and in real life and how even in dark times there is room for humor, healing and new creative projects including her bite sized author podcast. #Menopause #TeriBrown #PegUnhinged #WomenOver50 #WomenAuthors #CharacterDrivenFiction #MidlifeReinvention #FibromyalgiaAwareness #ChronicIllnessAndCreativity #PodcastConversation #HopeAndHealing

The Trials Of Women 10X Pod Group The trials of women throughout history have been marked by enduring challenges related to gender inequality, societal expectations, and limited opportunities. Women have often had to navigate systems of oppression, from fighting for basic rights such as the ability to vote and receive education to battling against cultural norms that confine them to traditional roles. Despite making significant strides toward equality, many women still face issues like discrimination in the workplace, gender-based violence, and unequal access to healthcare. These struggles are compounded by the weight of balancing professional aspirations with family responsibilities, as well as the continuous pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty and behavior. Nonetheless, women continue to demonstrate resilience, courage, and leadership in overcoming these adversities and advocating for a more just and equal society.
