Are You There, God? It's Me, Monica

Judy Blume taught us almost everything we needed to know about menstruation, masturbation, boob envy and sex. But now, in the throes of middle age, we're hormonal again---and lost. This week, the New York Times reports that 1 billion women around the world will have experienced perimenopause by 2025. But still, not enough is known and we don't talk about this critical health phase in our lives. Over at Pretty Ripe, I'm taking questions about symptoms like hot flashes, thinning hair and mood swings. I'm also offering advice on how to find the right support. (As a veteran journalist, I know how to dig deep for answers.) Let's tough this out together!
