Böcker av Tricia Brouk

Whether you're a woman in the midst of menopause, anticipating it, or close to someone who is, you are invited to join a candid, provocative conversation in a safe space where all experiences are honored.The Invitation is an expansive, meaningful dialogue between two friends that unfolds organically as the authors discuss the nuances of their individual experiences, challenge widely held social constructs, and give rise to empowering new perspectives on the menopause paradigm.Chapters explore physical manifestations of menopause, sex and intimacy, marriage through the lens of menopause, and how menopause impacts women at work-a topic for which an expert joins the conversation to enlighten readers about both challenges and solutions for female employees going through menopause.There are also important contributions from three women with diverse backgrounds who share their heartbreaking and poignant personal journeys of feeling abandoned by the medical system and betrayed by their own bodies.The Invitation is not about medical treatments or behavioral solutions. It's about creating a collective sisterhood; engaging in open, honest dialogue; and validating and empowering one another to embody a different and more inspiring relationship with menopause.
