"From PMS to WTF" - Even though we know it's coming, perimenopause can still be a surprise. The female reproductive system can deliver a lifetime of pain and trauma. In "The Silent Garden", menopause was expected to be a hoped-for welcome relief.* Some listeners may find this monologue upsetting.   March 2025 is Endometriosis awareness month.
