All Up In: Quasi-Algonquin Round Table Q&A

Welcome everybody to the debut episode of what Mary’s calling the Quasi-Algonquin Round  Table! Modeled on the Great Salon from the 20s; the Gertrude Steins and the Dorothy Parkers,  coming together and saying things to each other and having real conversations. Today, she sits  down with a few friends to do a Q&A slash brainstorming session to help Mary further figure  out how to help people! They delve into the topics of perimenopause, why women’s health is  talked about so infrequently, how to talk about periods, sex, and babies with your kids, and  what resources can be helpful in that endeavor. They unpack the power of podcasting, and the  community it creates, and touch on how they’re navigating, but also appreciating their ever changing bodies. Be sure not to miss out on this great episode! Thanks for listening.
