Hello, hello. Welcome back. Today's subject is for everyone. This is truly a topic that everybody

needs to pay attention to if you are female because the truth is all of us are going to go through

perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. We may be at different stages of that. Maybe it's a

few years away. Maybe it's a lot of years away. Maybe you're already in perimenopause. Maybe you've

already gone through menopause. Either way, I think the things that we're going to talk about on how

to prepare for it and how to manage it are really important. If there's one thing I've learned

in this journey called life, I should say motherhood or womanhood, at least for me, speaking

from my own experience, is the more I know ahead of time, the better. And the more educated I am in

the midst of it, the better. The worst is when you look back and you say, I wish I would have known

to do insert whatever you want to say. When I had the twins, after I had the twins, I said so many

times, I wish someone had taught me how to use my core before I had the twins. I wish I had researched

diaphragm breathing, which we call 360 breathing now, or diasties, or the pelvic floor, or so many

things that I wish I had studied and learned before, which would have made the outcome so much easier.

So whether you are at this stage now, it's a little ways away. It doesn't matter because the more

you know ahead of time or in it is going to be better than looking back and wishing you had known.

So this stage of womanhood is so important for us to learn about no matter what stage of womanhood

we are in right now. And that's why I want to cover some of these things. I want you to know ahead

of time because the truth is I'm learning. I am not in these stages yet, but I'm learning myself

so that when they come, I don't want to be caught off guard as much. I want to know, I want to feel

prepared because as I mentioned, I wish so badly I had understood the core before I had the baby. I

wish I knew so much more about what happened postpartum before I got there because it would have helped

me handle it a little bit better or know how to reach out and get help or just what to be aware of.
