In the third episode of her new podcast, Michelle Obama takes on the importance of talking about women’s health — particularly transitions and body changes.

She also shares her experience with menopause, talks about being open with her daughters and women’s relationships to their bodies.

Such good stuff!

Women sharing stories is so important to normalizing this normal, but often disruptive, life transition. Find more women’s stories, on the WLB blog.

And kudos to Michelle Obama for using her platform to talk about real issues like the often undiscussable menopause transition.
