Men Supporting Women through Menopause. Interviewing Simon Salt on his upcoming book “The Quiet Transition”
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“There’s always a gap of what men can read, understand, and put into practice with supporting the women in their lives through menopause.”
So says British author and photographer, Simon Salt, who is working on a beautiful guide, the “Quiet Transition” to help men and women ride the perfect storm of menopause.
He reasons: Men are fixers. We are solution finders. ”Problem is with menopause, there’s nothing to fix, because nothing is broken.” Also, of the 80 or so symptoms women may experience in perimenopause and menopause, each woman's experience is totally different, and many don't know what to expect.
“We want to hear less score keeping, more understanding, and that "we are" vs. "I am" going through menopause. That's what this guide is about."
