While some of us are embracing aging gracefully, we admit that we might be raging against it – just a little! But like most consumers, we’re wary of brands that tout key messages over key ingredients. If we’re going to drop a lot of dough on a new skincare regime, we want to know that the brand we’re buying really understands the changes our skin goes through as we hit perimenopause and how we need to treat those pain points – like fine lines, sagging skin and puffiness which make us look more t...

Better yet, in an ageist workforce – how do you gain support and understanding for some of the gaffs you might make due to your symptoms like memory loss or brain fog?

We get a lot of terminology thrown at us by the healthcare system. Add symptoms of perimenopause and we practically need to keep Wikipedia open on our phones permanently just to understand what the heck is going on with our bodies! This week we’re going to throw another word at you: endocannabinoid Did you know our bodies all have an endocannabinoid system made up of receptors that can interact with cannabis and potentially relieve some of the more unpleasant or uncomfortable symptoms of menopau...

I have had such a great time with this podcast and I have met so many wonderful experts and women in the cannabis industry who shared their time, wisdom and sometimes even their weed with me.

I don’t know about you, but I was always led to believe that menopause was charted on a course we have no control over. We would simply have to find a way to live with the cards we were dealt and there is no real remedy for the symptoms we might go through. In other words, buckle up and suffer through it. The more I look into it, the more I realize this thinking couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, women need to know that the more they learn about how their bodies work and how their bodi...
