The Great Man Within A Man’s Guide to Menopause (feat. Alexandra Pope of The Red School)
#170:
“Menopause doesn’t just change the woman, it changes all the people around her in her life.” -- Alexandra Pope, Co-Founder of The Red School
Menopause is the time in a woman’s life where menstruation ends, signaling the end of her child bearing years, along with her monthly cycle and ushering in one of the biggest transitions of a woman’s life.
Chances are you have more than a few women in your life who are going through menopause right now. This could be your wife, mother, sister, aunt, boss, co-worker, employee or any number of other women in your ecosystem right now.
A Great Man is willing to make the effort to understand this extraordinary transition in a woman’s life and how he may play a supportive role in the process.
And our guide for that discussion is the elegant, wise and delightful Alexandra Pope.
