The Truth About Menopause with Elektra Health Co-Founder & CEO Alessandra Henderson Myth of Motherhood

    • Parenting

This week we are busting myths around menopause! The truth around what we can expect leading up to it, what’s missing in our care, and HOW we can advocate for ourselves and each other. 
 
Because…well…we are all heading there!
 
Menopause is inevitable unless…well this could get dark. Anyway, we are heading there and the road gets bumpy so why wouldn’t we want as many road signs, maps, gps, off road tires, tools, and tricks to navigate the path??? I want as much info as I can get!
