They're constantly on the go.

Yeah.

Dr. Mindy, welcome back to the podcast.

Today, we're talking about a lot of different themes together, and I'm so excited that you're the one here to walk us through those themes.

Thank you.

We're talking about menopause and this major shift in a woman's life that from the outside

If you're undereducated about it, you can only sometimes see all the hard stuff.

And yet here today and with your new book, Aged Like a Girl, you're talking about so much more that's hidden in this journey that isn't often talked about.

And we're also talking about how to step into this idea of mythology, especially in a woman's life and what this time period means.

and the lessons that it's bringing to women in particular as they age.

But to start us off, I know you're a huge fan of mythology, and I just want to start there.

Talk about your interest in this topic, and then we'll segue into the mythology around menopause.

When you went down that rabbit hole and you started looking into it, what were some of the first big ideas that started blowing your mind?

Or even rather that were connecting dots that were already sort of swirling around?

Yeah, well, there were like a series.

What you just said there was really profound and there's a lot of obviously research to back it up with Lisa's work and many others in this space.

Even just before we get into menopause further, do you feel like they got the memo or what has prevented that memo from getting there about these time periods being new challenges in life, but actually a huge opportunity to show up differently at a new life stage?

Yeah.

Well, let's continue on there.

When you look out there and you look at the conversation, obviously, this is a huge part of what your book is about.
