The midlife wake-up call. Yes, it's 2024—but menopause care is still not considered essential health care. But we are at a tipping point, and the clarion call for a “menopause moonshot” is on. Lawyer, activist, and menstruation activist Jennifer Weiss-Wolf is calling for a bold U.S. public policy agenda to bring a two-pronged approach to tackling menopause as a public health priority. In this week’s show, Jennifer expounds on the five surprising ways our lack of a coherent U.S. menopause policy impacts your overall health and well-being and shares how current laws, tax codes, and even our workplaces and health systems impact access to menopause care. Bonus! Jennifer outlines actionable steps to ensure that science-backed menopause care is available to everyone who needs it.

How to Sleep Better Tonight (and Every Night) with Morgan Adams

Lyn Slater amassed nearly 1 million followers on Instagram and built a career as a highly paid fashion influencer known as the Accidental Icon, but it made her miserable. On this week’s show, Lyn walks us through her memoir “How to Be Old,” which explores how the former social worker and professor became a front-row fixture at fashion shows and the star of global ad campaigns and why she eventually walked away from the world of social media and influencing. We get into reinvention, self-expression, the false lens of social media, the transgressive power of aging visibly, and, of course, how to be old.
