Take a listen to our latest podcast with Lauren A. Tetenbaum, LCSW, JD, PMH-C, author of the upcoming book "Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life's Next Period". The book challenges everything we thought we knew about this life transition.

Did you know perimenopause symptoms can begin in your 30s?
Despite being well-read and passionate about women’s health, Lauren found herself at 39 facing a steep learning curve. That gap in education and awareness led her to write the compassionate guide every woman in her 30s and 40s needs.

Our conversation dives deep into:
💡 Myths still shaping health decisions — especially around hormone therapy
💡 What millennial women are doing differently (and why it matters)
💡 The power of building your healthcare team before symptoms start
💡 Navigating medical and workplace systems with confidence
💡 Aging as a privilege, not something to hide

Lauren brings a rare and powerful lens to this work — as a therapist, social worker, and former lawyer — and reminds us that if you don’t ask, you won’t get.

Whether you’re in the thick of it, planning ahead, or supporting someone you love, this episode is full of insights, advocacy, and sisterhood.

Today marks the start of Transgender Awareness Week—a time to recognize and celebrate people of all gender expressions and identities, including transgender and non-binary individuals who also experience menopause.

Menopause isn't limited to women; anyone born with ovaries or undergoing certain hormonal transitions may experience it. Hot flashes, mood changes, and other symptoms are common and can profoundly impact daily life and work.
For many in the transgender community, discussing these experiences in the workplace can be challenging. A lack of understanding and inclusive support can make it difficult to seek help, especially when traditional support systems overlook diverse menopause experiences.

Creating menopause-friendly workplaces means ensuring everyone, regardless of gender identity, feels safe, understood, and supported. This week, let’s commit to opening up these conversations, breaking down barriers, and fostering an environment where all employees can thrive through every stage of life.

Let’s celebrate diversity, amplify awareness, and champion inclusive support in our workplaces.
