Podcast: Everyday Rockstars

This week’s episode of Everyday Rockstars features the amazing Lauren Tetenbaum, aka The CounseLaur, an attorney turned psychotherapist, women’s rights advocate, and author of the wildly smart, researched, funny, and refreshingly relatable new book Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life’s Next Period. Lauren’s book is a must-read for all women (and the men who love them) – it’s packed with insight, humor, and pop-culture nostalgia (think Spice Girls, Saved by the Bell, and Britney Spears!) that make it as empowering as it is entertaining. In the full episode (see Everyday Rockstars on Apple and Spotify), we dive into:

• How Lauren helps women navigate fertility, perimenopause, and beyond an and why even she was unprepared for the menopause conversation.

• The inequities women of color face in care and symptoms and what needs to change.

• The truth about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and why it’s safer and more effective than many realize.

• Why she was called “Condom Girl” in law school (yes, really ).

• A sweet nod to the legend, Judy Blume

• And how humor and honesty can help us reclaim this whole conversation around aging and womanhood!

This episode is real, raw, and FUN – just like Lauren! It’s a reminder that menopause isn’t something to dread, but something to understand, embrace, and even laugh about.
