Summary
Emmy award-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker, and menopause advocate Tamsen Fadal joins Zibby to discuss her must-read guide, HOW TO MENOPAUSE. Tamsen opens up about her unexpected health crisis during a live news broadcast in 2019, which led to her shocking discovery that she was in menopause. She talks about her pivot from decades of TV journalism to creating a documentary, The End Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, and writing this book to help women navigate this often misunderstood stage of life. She and Zibby discuss everything from perimenopause symptoms and hormonal shifts to self-advocacy in the doctor’s office and the beauty and freedom that emerge from embracing midlife changes.
