S2 Ep 6 Part 2: Shared Stories in Menopause - Tina, Cynthia and Natalya

Shared stories. Conversations. Connection. These things matter, which is why we’re sharing the stories of real women in this episode. Welcome to this episode of Midlife Unfiltered - a podcast about unapologetically embracing the Season of Me. In this episode, Erica sits down to chat with three women who have very different stories when it comes to their menopause transitions. We hear from Tina who unknowingly faced the challenges of perimenopause through her late 40s; Cynthia who was surprised to learn she’d gone through that transition in her early 40s; and Natalya who transitioned into menopause overnight as the result of surgery - at just 28 years old.A huge thank you to our guests who shared so generously and honestly.
