This week, Busy and Caissie both had a bit of familial friction over the turkey-based holiday. Plus, they both remember the druggies and drug dealers they dated in high school. Then, Roxane Gay, best-selling author of Bad Feminist, Hunger and editor of Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture stops by, in the middle of having a bloody nose, to talk about her new book, Opinions: A Decade of Arguments, Criticism and Minding Other People’s Business and everyone shares some of their most surprisingly controversial opinions, along with thoughts on American Individualism, menopause and whether we’re clueless about it because Oprah retired too soon, and who we could nominate to be our national mother.

Catching up on the pod but I cannot recommend color guru enough! I never know what looks good on me and this helped me clear my closet of clothes that aren’t in my color wheel (and didn’t wear to begin with). It gave me permission to donate clothes that don’t work for me without the guilt. Love love!
While listening, I started pondering more about menopause and what we aren’t told. Many older women tell me don’t grow old because the body breaks down. Older men don’t tell me that. I know many women who have had knee or hip replacements. I don’t know any men who have. When I had frozen shoulder, neither doctors nor PTs told me it was menopause related. I know so many older women with high blood pressure. Etc. Anyway, the podcast helped me connect all those dots this morning, and led me to the final decision of getting on estrogen. Now to find a doctor who knows!
