Menopause and perimenopause are a serious subject - but I think humor helps! I have laughed at myself, and my family has laughed with me and not at me when I have had certain symptoms.

You can listen to my personal and very open account of what I have been going through, and how I’ve seen humor in even the most serious symptoms. I hope if nothing else besides getting the information will make you smile.

I believe in delivering information clearly and simply yet in a relatable way and not scary. Just like Mary Poppins sang.... A spoon full of sugar (humor) helps the medicine (information about a dry subject) go down in the most delightful (easily digestible) way!
