"I've been thinking a lot about how the pandemic has given us just a different lens on life, and it has revealed so many things that were hard to see in the previous status quo. I really want to make sure that we cement and keep that visibility of the things that we see now really clearly and build from there." --@Ai-jen Poo, domestic worker advocate, Women & Power past faculty #DoPowerDifferently https://www.popsugar.com//activist-ai-jen-poo-sleep-self-c

I actually think it’s extraordinarily important to change the conversation. Because so much of what you hear about perimenopause is spoken about in an anti-feminist and ageist way, said Dr. Lucy Hutner, a reproductive psychiatrist in New York. Dr. Hutner said that many of her patients who are navigating these midlife shifts find them deeply empowering. They feel more resilient, and are following their inner compass. #DoPowerDifferently https://www.nytimes.com//04/29/w/perimenopause-women.html
