Meet  Jessica Erlendson

We don't have to emphasize the peri/menopause journey but there is a lot of selective hearting - spouses and family that don't believe it's "that bad", friends that don't want to hear about it, and even doctors who don't hear the seriousness of the body condition during this transition.  We can also touch on how trauma has been found in recent studies to affect our menopause transition and I suspect a lot of that is because we can be shut down so easily - if we do get the courage to talk about what we are going through and don't feel heard, many of us with a traumatic childhood may just shut down.  I think this could be why so many women allow their body condition to deteriorate into anemia, "zombie" like degrees of tiredness, weight problems, you name it.  Many of us wait until we really can't live like this anymore before we insist on being heard.
