96: Hot Flashes & Cool Topics x Hotflash inc

The Hotflash inc podcast

“Just put it out there. No one expects you to be perfect.”

When Colleen Rosenblum talks about starting the Hot Flashes & Cool Topics podcast with her partner Bridgett Biagi Garratt in 2019, you kind of want to stand up and cheer. These Nashville-based friends – Colleen is an attorney turned pilates instructor, Brigit is a former elementary school teacher – are two of the most clear-headed voices in the North American midlife sp, all the things that happen in midlife and how we get through them.

They also just had their first IRL Hot Flashes & Cool Topics with Prime Women event this month, where they talked about menopause, midlife and a lot more.

Highlights:

• Navigating politics in the menopause space
• Doctors private public
• Doing scary new things in midlife
• How backward it was (and still is) that midlife have the purchasing power but are left out of media coverage
• Shining a light on the positives of midlife
• Growing through the grief and loss in your empty nest
• Starting over and deciding what you want to do with the rest of your life
• What they’ve learned interviewing doctors
• The most controversial topic they’ve come across – testosterone pellets – and Bridget’s own experience with them
• Why we don’t want to change doctors – even when ours knows nothing about perimenopause
• How being scared of menopause can make it harder
• Colleen and Bridget look back on their own perimenopause experiences
• Why they left their careers behind and how they feel about it now
• What it felt like when they launched their podcast – and why women need to stop underestimating the experience they have in life

NB: For an alternative view about testosterone, check out episode 58 with Nashville, Tennessee-based nurse practitioner Brooke Faught and for testosterone pellets, listen to episode 79 with Phoenix, Arizona-based integrative physician Dr Angela DeRosa.
