I think anybody that's gone through a loss, a major life event, even men, there's that period of time where you realize how much shit actually really matters.

That's right.

So there's a universal aspect and there's a specific biological component that is unique to women that are on this journey, that are there on this perimenopause, menopause journey.

as related to this conversation.

And it's great to be able to touch on that because, because the conversation wasn't happening, a lot of women who felt these different emotions, they started noticing that their behavior was changing, or they were all of a sudden anxious in a way that they never really used to feel anxious.

They felt that there was something wrong with them.

They felt guilty, maybe, about prioritizing themselves.

And...

And now at least there is more of that conversation that women can participate in and say that, hey, there's reasons that these things might be going on.

And let's at least talk about it and have a conversation about what those are.

You know, because you look at this from all different angles.

You're looking at it from the biological side.

You're looking at it from the mythological side.

You're looking at it from the, you know, the historical lens.

Yeah.

Is there anything that you can add to this unique experience that we have that we largely are not living in these...

small tribes, where we're seeing other women who are going through this journey, getting the message from them, that young boys or older men are not getting a chance to see, you know, the elders of the community, the women, you know, go through these rites of passage themselves and step into that, and largely people are living in these isolated areas, and they're not even living off nearby their family enough to even have the conversation that's there.

But anything you can say about that?

Every different group of people is going to have stereotypes that are there.

But you look at how it can often be portrayed in either media, social media, or even just in conversation between people.
