This roundup was like a therapy session. I’ve been wresting deeply with the changes in my appearance as I age (I’m 48) and my feelings of invisibility. I want so badly to not care, to embrace where I am, to not feel so self-conscious about my face or my cellulite or my stomach…but it kind of feels like adolescence in a way, where my hormones (or something equally slippery) are leaving me with little control over my own feelings. This roundup - especially, the Atlantic interview - gave me a sense of perspective and hope. Thank you, Sari. The resources and experience you share are meaningful. You are helping women navigate seasons of life feeling less alone and more equipped. ❤️

Loved the Atlantic podcast. I’m not feeling the menopausal zest but hope to one day! I’m 56 on HRT

What a fabulous bunch of stuff - as an Oldster and Gen x'er (1965 model) who is caring for her 86-year old husband, I deeply appreciate the Charlotte Cowels piece "The Woman Who Quit Her Job to Take Care of her Dad." And congrats on the grant from the H Foundation. Brava!
