| 0:00.0 | Well, hello there. And welcome to this episode of the Terry Cole Show. I just had a fascinating |
| 0:05.8 | conversation with my friend, Dr. Mindy Peltz, who has been on the show before. She's well known |
| 0:12.4 | for a book called Fast Like a Girl. She's, you know, New York Times bestselling author. She's a |
| 0:18.4 | visionary educator. And she's really a trailblazer in the field of |
| 0:22.5 | women's health and hormone science. And you know how I love to talk about menopause. Well, |
| 0:27.8 | her new book is Age Like a Girl, How Menopause Rewires Your Brain for Mental Clarity, Increased |
| 0:34.6 | Confidence, and Renewed Energy, which, wow, doesn't that all sound great? |

| 1:26.7 | purpose driven in our lives, like less exhaustion, |
| 1:30.3 | more embodiment, and from silence to leadership. Anyway, I love this conversation. My favorite |
| 1:36.3 | quote in this conversation I just had with her is menopause isn't the end of anything. |
| 1:41.8 | It's the beginning of everything. So I hope that you enjoy this |
| 1:46.5 | interview with Dr. Mindy Peltz as much as I enjoyed hanging out with her. |
| 2:00.7 | This is the Terry Cole show, and as you might have guessed, I'm your host, Terry Cole. |
