Life After Tampons

You’re too young. Try pellets. Just have another glass of wine. Have you tried black cohosh? I just want my periods to end. Estrogen gives you cancer! My sex life will never be the same. I just want to go through menopause naturally…Are these the thoughts that come to mind when the M word comes up?

In this multi-session webinar, you’ll learn more about menopause than you could imagine, with the opportunity to ask questions and share your experiences. We will talk about the intersection of menopause and living with neurologic impairment. You deserve to make choices that allow you to thrive and to make decisions based in evidence, rather than in fear.

In Module One: A Mindset for Approaching Midlife, we will talk about the basics of menopause, define terms and symptoms, discuss options for managing and coping with this transitional life stage and embrace a mindset of empowerment. Menopause can be distressing but it can also be the best season of your life.
