How many things in life would've been easier if someone had just told you what the hell was going on? As first-gen Latinas, we’ve heard “de eso no se habla” one too many times. Well, amiga... It’s time we start talking.

This week, in part two of my conversation with Marisela Arechiga, we talk about all the things no one warned us about—not just menopause and perimenopause, but the entire build-up and the full-blown hormonal rollercoaster we ride in the second half of our lives.

Tune in to Episode 228 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, and join us in the kind of conversation you'd wish you had with your parents and you'll want to have with your children. We talk about menopause's physical, emotional, and psychological effects, and how it affects us in our personal and professional lives. You'll also hear practical advice on how to mitigate menopause's side effects, the importance of self-care for women over 40, myths and truths about fitness, and much more.
