This discussion is so needed. I thrived after menopause in ways I didn’t expect. One of the best gifts was less depression – which for me the hormones influenced quite a bit. We need to get this news out to our daughters and others. The second half of life is full of gifts.

Been through this phase of life and while there was no “returning” to my “dragon self”, there was definitely courage that came with it and I am quite comfortable with myself now where I always needed to have people around before. I’ve grown to enjoy the alone time when I get it! Also, I had always been too timid to speak up for myself. Oh did that ever change! I have to keep it in check otherwise anger (another new one for me) can easily seep in. Thank you for sharing this book with us and thank you for linking up @worthbeyondrubies

Interesting. After a necessary full hysterectomy I have been thrown into menopause and certainly haven’t seen it as a gift. But maybe I will look for the good things about it!

I am already past that phase of life. I don’t remember feeling especially angry but I think I am more willing to speak my mind now and I don’t need the approval of others as much as I once did, which is a good thing. I don’t know if it was the physical changes I went through or just the accumulated wisdom over the years. I like to think it was the latter! 🙂

I went through menopause so many years ago, I hardly remember it, Lisa. Lol! This book does sound like a valuable read, though. Thanks for the recommendation!
