Please welcome the amazing Colleen and Bridgett as they join Melissa and Susie this week!

Colleen and Bridgett break the silence and turn up the volume on menopause and midlife experiences with their fantastic podcast, Hot Flashes and Cool Topics! Join our fabulous hosts and special guests as they dive deep into the ups and downs of menopause and the story behind their friendship and business. We've got expert opinions and celebrity guests galore, creating a well-rounded discussion that's both educational and entertaining. From sleep disruptions to hormone therapy options, we fearlessly tackle every topic in between, leaving no midlife stone unturned!

Colleen and Bridgett believe in the power of finding a community where women can openly share their experiences, and we're thrilled by the growing interest surrounding these knitty gritty topics. After all, knowledge is power! Trust us, they have done their research – seeking info from reputable sources like physicians certified by the North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
