In this rich and revealing episode of There She Is, Aimee is joined by three radiant women—Carrie Vanhouten, Lisa Ann Morrison, and Lulu Braunstein—who are bringing light, hot flashes, and heart to the stage with their bold, beautiful project: The Menopause Monologues.
From their cozy East Bay gathering, they share how rage, laughter, and community came together to create a theater production that's opening hearts and igniting conversations about menopause like never before.
Through honest storytelling, vulnerable shares, and a whole lot of love, these women have made space for others to step into the spotlight and say, "There she is." Whether you're in the thick of perimenopause, post-menopausal, or just starting to wonder what it all means, you belong in this conversation.
