Today’s conversation is with Darcey Steinke.
Darcey has a new book out called Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life.
Fair warning that this is an adult conversation and may not be for everyone. But it’s an important conversation in that menopause has been traditionally a topic that isn’t often talked about openly.
For those going through it, there’s a lot of shame around it because of the sometimes very obvious symptoms – most notably, hot flashes. But it’s also a time of life for women when a lot of emotion and other physical changes can occur.
Darcey’s approach is that this is just another chapter in a woman’s life and should be embraced, not necessarily looked upon as a medical condition.
Her book and this conversation are so important to how we view menopause and how we can change our language around it to not be something viewed as a “condition” or as a problem to solve.
There’s no doubt that you have many women in your life that could benefit from hearing this conversation so please do share it. Let’s get the word out and start thinking about menopause a bit differently.
If you’d like to win a copy of her book, Flash Count Diary, sign up for the She’s Bold Podcast newsletter. I’ll simply alert you each time a new episode is released. I’ll give you until the end of the month to sign up for that newsletter and will randomly choose a winner on August 1st amongst all the current subscribers. That will have to be a winner with a US address. (Apologies if you’re out of the country.)
OK – with that, please enjoy this conversation with Darcey Steinke.
