I appreciate your explanation! My mother and her generation never spoke of perimenopause, menopause, or even periods and their issues in general. I’m an elder millennial with a Gen X friend and we talk about it pretty often. My older colleagues have also started being open about their experiences, we pass info along to each other via email.

It’s so nice to see the information becoming more talked about, especially since I’m getting into the perimenopause phase of life.

Yes! I think it's great that it's getting talked about now more amongst women. The generations before us seemed more ashamed to talk about things women go through as we age. It's great that we're breaking down that barrier and that taboo that was assigned to aging.
