Y'all know I'm an open book. If you've been listening to the podcast recently, you may know I'm in perimenopause. It's the stage right before menopause. And it can start as early as your 30s! ? Now, if you've never heard the term "perimenopause," you're not alone. Women have been kept in the dark about this important stage of life since... well, forever.  We've been told to suffer through terrible sleep, weight gain, night sweats, and mood changes... you name it. The message to women has been, "good fucking luck."  Well, you know me. I'm not going down without a fight. I'm fixin' to learn everything I can about perimenopause and menopause. Today I'm interviewing Dr. Diedra Manns. She's a Doctor of Physical Therapy and menopause health coach. She's also a badass. Dr. Manns survived breast cancer and is dedicated to helping midlife women flourish. In this episode, Dr. Manns shares easy tips to improve the quality of your life during this stage. Especially when it comes to rest.
