https://anchor.fm/kari-wagner-hoban/episodes/Chapter-One--Not-My-Mothers-Menopause-e1g4rq1 The following is a quote from a magazine article that I found recently thanks to a blog I love. Despite this menopausal transformation in myself (the one I’m passionately describing), I also feel that my culture and society have failed me so badly.

Working On Becoming a Better Listener
I'm learning to accept the less-than-ideal aspects of myself. One of them is that I have difficulty having conversations.
