The conversation around menopause is *finally* changing. Now, more women are seeing it as a chance to reframe their thinking about themselves and their value, too.
. It’s unflinching and addresses the gamut of menopause, including a reminder that most animals, unlike humans, don’t live past the end of fertility.
