Summary
I am so excited to welcome my pal Tamsen Fadal back to the show to talk about her new documentary, The M Factor: Shredding the Silence On Menopause. It's available to stream right now on PBS!
Tamsen is an award-winning news anchor and menopause advocate, and she combined her skills and passion to create this amazing documentary.
During our conversation, Tamsen and I talk about our experiences with perimenopause and menopause, the lesser-known symptoms many women have, how the documentary came about, the hope Tamsen has for how it will impact the healthcare we receive as women, and so much more.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
