Hello, Hot Flash Podcast

In this episode of “Hello, Hot Flash,” Lauren Tetenbaum shares why silence around menopause has left so many women feeling blindsided and unsupported—and how open, age-appropriate conversations can empower younger women with awareness, confidence, and self-trust. Drawing from her book Millennial Menopause, she explains how hormonal shifts can begin earlier than expected and why education, emotional intelligence, and early support matter.

This conversation also addresses the emotional side of midlife: negative self-talk, guilt for not “doing enough,” difficulty setting boundaries, and feeling too tired to even start prioritising yourself. Lauren and Stephanie discuss how normalising menopause conversations helps women recognise symptoms sooner, advocate for proper care, and approach this transition without fear or shame.

If you wish someone had warned you, this episode will help you become that voice of clarity and compassion for the next generation.
