The Menopause They Will Inherit | Season 1 | Episode 9

Summary:Episode nine of Hot Flash Pod is one of those conversations that starts with a comedy show and ends somewhere genuinely important. Suzanne, Lisa, and Melissa dig into what menopause has looked like historically, what it looks like now, and what they actually want to hand down to their daughters. It's funny and honest and a little bit angry in the right places, especially when Melissa lays out who is and isn't getting access to real perimenopause care. The whole episode has this feeling of three women who have finally stopped waiting for someone else to say it out loud.Chapters:00:00 - Welcome and the usual disclaimer01:00 - Flash and Tell: Samantha Bee's menopause comedy show03:30 - Men in the audience and why that felt different05:00 - Menopause the Musical and missing it06:30 - Deep dive begins: what did we actually know growing up?08:00 - Lisa's doctor said buckle up for seven to ten years09:30 - Asking our moms what they went through11:00 - Hot flash under a spotlight at a meeting12:30 - Melissa on perimenopause as a skill set we pass down14:00 - Suzanne on Turning Red and media shaping how we see this15:30 - What would you actually change?17:30 - Melissa on life not ending at 30
