I created a sleep cast for my perimenopause/menopause crowd who find themselves dealing with sleepless nights. Check out the first episode on Spotify or Substack. Let me know how you like it! 💤

If #perimenopause and #menopause brands, companies, and organisations don’t recognise the need for diversity, how can we expect people to understand the importance of diversity and inclusion when there are so few examples?

Took a small break to focus on my brain health and started writing in addition to my podcast. I’d love a follow on Substack if anyone is on that platform. Thank you!

We are having a snow day here in Austin and I didn’t get a hot flash in the snow. But I’ve heard it’s quite a refreshing experience. Have you been so lucky?
Happy Tuesday!! ❄️

THANK YOU so much for all of the love and support over the past month. I’ve heard from so many of you and I’ve been blown away from your kindness and supportive words.
Let’s continue to talk and break the stigmas around menopause.

Hormonal chin acne, dry skin, & random rashes are some changes I’ve seen this year with my face through perimenopause.
What home remedies/products do you ♥️ that has helped your skin through menopause?

👋🏼 I’m Christina & the host of Hot Flash Talks. I started this podcast to normalize the menopause convo & show that we all experience similar things & we can thrive through this journey together.
🎙️I’m new to podcasting & this won’t be super polished but the content is there. ♥️

🧄 Smell hack! For those dealing w phantom odors (that weird cigarette smell that won’t quit), here’s my tip: cooking garlic! This seems to reset my senses and gives me a break from the phantom smells.
What tips can you share?

How have you dealt with hot flashes or any menopause symptom at work? Did you have support or do you suffer in silence?

Episode 3 is live now. Listen to my conversation with Kym, my friend of 23 years and former boss at Twitch, about how menopause can be an impact at work and on mental health.

Even within our same family our #menopause symptoms are different. Who else experiences phantom odors? 🙋🏻‍♀️🚬

📚More research and education needs to be done around menopause, including those who experience surgical menopause. My sister, and my next guest on Friday’s podcast ✨, talks about her experience at 21. 🤯
