Homework & Hot Flashes: Parenting Through Perimenopause & Menopause

Join October's MomPros as we focus on parenting through Perimenopause and Menopause. Between homework, schedules, and everyone else's needs, it can be hard to make sense of the changes happening in your own body. We'll talk about the challenges, share practical ways to care for ourselves, and make space for the humor that helps us through it.

Meet our Panelists
