Key Moments in the Conversation
[3:51] There’s an expectation that we should figure out this midlife thing and just once and for all be done with it.
[13:40] I wasn’t willing to resign myself to feeling terrible. There was a part of me that thought, “no, I’m not buying that. I’m going to figure this out.” (regarding words from doctors around perimenopause)
[14:04] Your over-40 body is different from your under-40 body and you have to support it differently.
[28:34] I think a lot of women in midlife find themselves in that place where they’re looking ahead to the second half of life and questioning what they want it to look like and more importantly who do they want to be.
