What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast as always. I am your

host Mike Milner and I was a little hesitant to do this episode. I am a little hesitant to do this

episode because it's a topic that I've discussed on here before and I have

even had some experts in the field talk about this topic.

And I continuously get comments from the listeners

that it all feels a little incomplete.

So the topic that I'm talking about is paremenopause.

And the reason why I'm so hesitant is because I've also been told that certain people don't want to hear a man,

mansplaining, about something that he has no experience with, which is fair. I am a man, although I don't like to think that I mansplain. I like to think that I present a perspective and try to provide useful and helpful information to empower you to make your own decisions.

If you feel like on mansplaining, then of course you don't have to listen.

That was the hesitation is I don't want this to come across as if I am speaking from experience because obviously I have not experienced perimenopause or the symptoms associated with perimenopause.

But I also think it's a little bit unfair to say because you haven't experienced something personally

that you can't help to educate, empower, enlighten, inspire, whatever it may be.

That would mean that you think that there should be no

female coaches or women coaches in the NBA because they've never played in the NBA before.

They should only play in the league that they have experience.

They should only coach in the league that they have experience with like the WNBA, right?

Like we start to get into this little murky situation

if we're boxing people in and we're saying

you can only talk about something

if you've gone through it yourself.

And that's just, I don't think that's true.
