TMM PODCAST EPISODE 012: Having A Safe Space To Talk About Menopause
We'll be having a glimpse at our best memories. We remember the joy of meeting each other, the unforgettable landmarks, and the thrill of exploring new cultures. Then, we'll also talk about the bumps we encountered while on the road and how we resolved those problems. Most importantly, we'll be reflecting on how the whole experience deepened our love for life, for each other, and ourselves.
We'll sit down with Mollie Macarthy Openshaw and Dr. Valerie Zarcone, two of the women who rode along the streets of Spain with the group. Mollie founded Mood Swings Wine in 2013, a wine company dedicated to creating the perfect drinks for menopausal women. Her drink is currently the exclusive wine served in shows at Menopause The Musical in Los Angeles. But more than that, she's also a dedicated nurse consultant who finds passion in making people's lives easier.
Dr. Val, on the other hand, is a board-certified internist and a primary care physician whose experience spans over 30 years. She has a deep passion for learning and is an advocate for healthy living and appropriate alternative and integrative therapies.
