About this listen

Have you ever woken up feeling like you're a human furnace, wondering if someone secretly replaced your bedroom with a sauna? Welcome to menopause–nature's way of saying, "You thought puberty was fun? Hold my hot tea."

In this laugh-out-loud guide to navigating your body's midlife adventure, you'll discover that while menopause might be inevitable, misery isn't. From spontaneous personal summers to the joy of finding a random chin hair at the most inconvenient moment, this book transforms the menopause experience from dreaded transition to enlightening (and entertaining) journey.

Inside, you'll find:

  • The unfiltered truth about what's really happening to your body (explained in ways that will make you snort-laugh)
  • Real strategies for dealing with hot flashes, mood swings, and that mysterious ability to forget why you walked into a room
  • Stories from women who've been there, survived that, and lived to laugh about it
  • Science-backed solutions that actually work (no snake oil or magical thinking here)
  • A judgment-free zone where brain fog is normal and asking "Is it hot in here?" is practically a greeting

This isn't your mother's menopause book. It's a modern, witty companion for anyone wondering why they're suddenly collecting fans like they're going out of style. Whether you're in the thick of it or seeing the first signs, this guide offers wisdom, warmth, and plenty of much-needed laughs.

Because let's face it – menopause is coming for us all. We might as well face it armed with knowledge, humor, and a really good cooling pillow.

Perfect for women who:

  • Want straight talk about menopause without the doom and gloom
  • Need a laugh while learning how to handle this new chapter
  • Are looking for practical solutions wrapped in humor
  • Could use a friend who gets it (and makes it funny)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I’m not at the menopause stage myself, nowhere close actually, but I still found this really valuable. It's also a fun listen, didn’t expect to laugh while learning about menopause, but here we are lol. The humor doesn’t take away from the science; it just makes it feel more human. Whether you’re heading into perimenopause or just trying to feel more prepared, this gives you practical tools without the doom-and-gloom tone a lot of other resources have. Super helpful and way more relatable than anything else I’ve come across

informative and really fun to listen to

I downloaded this for my wife after she mentioned feeling off lately. She said it was nice to hear someone explain what she’s going through with some humor. She liked that it didn’t talk down to her and gave real advice without making things worse. I think just being able to laugh helped a lot. She’s been telling her friends about it and even said I should listen to a few parts so I get what she’s feeling.

I can so relate to this book, as I have experienced so many of the discussed symptoms. The personal stories were so relatable to me. I think any woman can embrace these challenging times with more grace, which is just what this book offers, in easy to understand terms. It adds humor which makes menopause a little easier to accept. I especially liked the nutritional clarification on carbs, fats, and calories and the hormonal fluctuation sections were beneficial. It feels good to know that menopause can be embraced and dealt with more easily.
