Perimenopause: The Secret Stage of Life That's Not So Secret Anymore

Join us on this episode of Shameless Sex as we dive into the mysterious world of perimenopause with Lauren A. Tetenbaum, author of Millennial Menopause and social worker extraordinaire. Lauren, aka "The CounseLaur," shares her expertise on navigating this often-confusing and misunderstood phase of life.

Here's what you'll learn from this episode:

• The difference between perimenopause and menopause (yes, there's a difference!)

• Why perimenopause is suddenly a hot topic (hint: it's not just about the hormones)

• How long perimenopause can last and what symptoms to look out for (it's not just hot flashes, folks!)

• Why this experience can be so confusing for individuals and their partners (communication is key, but it's not always easy)

• The biological shifts that affect desire and pleasure during perimenopause (it's not just about the estrogen, baby!)

• Tips for reclaiming your sexual connection (hello, sex toys and lube!)

• The politics surrounding perimenopause (because, of course, there's a feminist perspective)

Lauren's passion for advocating for women's reproductive health and her expertise in supporting women through life transitions make her the perfect guide for this conversation. With her counseling practice, workshops, and writing, Lauren empowers women to take control of their bodies and lives.

So, what can you expect from this episode? A healthy dose of real talk, practical advice, and a dash of humor. Lauren shares her insights on how partners can work together to navigate this transition, and we get the scoop on her book, Millennial Menopause.

Tune in for this engaging conversation, and get ready to join the ranks of the shamelessly sex-positive. As Lauren would say, "It's time to take control of your body and your pleasure!"
