Meet Tamsen Fadal, an Emmy Award winning journalist who is literally shredding the silence on menopause. Tamsen is the author of the new book How to Menopause, and creator and producer of the documentary The M Factor.

In this conversation, Tamsen Fadal shares her personal journey through menopause, discussing the symptoms she experienced and the lack of awareness surrounding women's health issues. Listen in to our discussion about the importance of education and advocacy for women in midlife, highlighting the need for better representation in the media and the necessity of lifestyle changes to thrive during this phase of life. Tamsen encourages women to embrace menopause as a transformative time rather than a negative experience, advocating for preparedness and empowerment through knowledge.
