Today, I had the pleasure of talking with Carin Luna Ostaseski, the founder of Hot or Just Me, an online shop and resource dedicated to managing perimenopause and menopause. We delved deep into her journey, from founding a groundbreaking whiskey company to her current support of women through midlife transitions. At 47, she's using her life experiences to help other women navigate the complexities of perimenopause and menopause. We discussed the symptoms, coping mechanisms, and the importance of finding the right medical resources. Carin shared incredible insights on improving sleep, managing anxiety, and advocating for menopause awareness in the workplace.
