In this episode, Lindsey interviews award-winning journalist, menopause advocate, filmmaker and content creator Tamsen Fadal. She is a co-producer on the documentary The M Factor: Shedding the Silence on Menopause, set to premiere on PBS on October 17 ahead of World Menopause Day on October 18. In March, she will publish her newest book How to Menopause. Tamsen opens up about her own experience entering menopause and midlife and how gaps in guidance inspired her to seek out answers and support, not just for herself but for all women. This is a powerful conversation about rewriting narratives for yourself and others.
