#93 – Hormones, Hot Flashes, Sex & Sanity: The Millennial Truth Bomb, with Lauren A. Tetenbaum, LCSW, JD, PMH-C, MSCP
Listen on these or all major podcast platforms
In this conversation, Lauren Tetenbaum (therapist, author, former lawyer, and in my opinion creative genious) opens the discussion no one’s ever really had. We discuss perimenopause, menopause, hormones, mental health, sex, aging, parenting, and why millennials are the generation to start the discussion.
We get into all of it — the symptoms, the stigma, the mental load, the relationships, the workplace nonsense, the generational differences, the puberty/menopause overlap, the hormone therapy updates, and the very real emotional reality women navigate during midlife.
