For the first time, Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan (MD, MSCP), Dr. Christine Hart Kress (DNP, MSCP), and Dr. Rebbecca Hertel (DO, MSCP) are joined by their husbands for a candid, no-holds-barred conversation about navigating menopause from both sides of the relationship.

🤯 Beyond the Misdiagnosis: Why symptoms are often mistaken for other issues, leading to unnecessary anxiety and medical tests.
❤️ The Art of Support vs. Solution: Why listening with empathy is a superpower, and why “fixing it” is the wrong approach.
💪 Building Resilience Together: How understanding the science and symptoms can actually strengthen your partnership for the better.
🗣️ Normalizing the Conversation: Practical tips for couples and families to communicate openly and navigate this transition smoothly, together.
Tune in for an episode that is equal parts enlightening, validating, and laugh-out-loud funny. It’s the ultimate guide to not just surviving, but thriving as a couple through midlife.
