An Honest and Hilarious Conversation About The Fifth Floor
Manage episode 515264089 series 3481712
The elevator doors open and the sign reads: Welcome to the fifth floor. In this episode, Anenda Zaandam and I, two longtime friends, compare notes on turning fifty. We laugh about AC settings and night sweats, and tell our truth about what changes when estrogen lowers the volume on people-pleasing and living for others, and raise the volume on peace. This is a ride through perimenopause, its big sister menopause, healing, and the realization that comes when you stop nurturing everyone and finally start choosing yourself.
