Menopause Movie Night
My colleagues and I at Be Hive Wellness often say we work with women during pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, and BEYOND.
And menopause = part of that “beyond.”
It’s coming for us all, ladies. “If you were born with ovaries, you will be menopausal.”
And for some of my clients, menopause has unfortunately come way too early. (Shout out to my breast cancer survivors!)
Last week, some of my colleagues and I had the privilege of attending a private screening of a new documentary, The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause.
The film, which airs 10/17/24 on PBS, discusses the many nuances of menopause, challenges societal norms around women aging, and advocates for advances in medical care to better support women.
The documentary includes a fabulous panel of brilliant women, including Kelly Casperson, author of You Are Not Broken (great read), OBGYN Dr. Sharon Malone (per quote above re: if you’re born with ovaries you will experience menopause), Neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi, and actress Audra McDonald.
It's a great watch - The more familiar we each become about our bodies and what the future holds, the more adept we can be at spreading awareness and seeking advances in options for support.
