At the doctor’s office, everyone gets the standard pamphlet on all the other health related issues that will arise during a woman’s life: puberty, safer sex, pregnancy, pap smears...but they never seem to have one for menopause. Yet most women will tell you, entering menopause equates to serious changes for their overall state of well-being.
This session was curated in a flash – a hot flash.
