Hot Flashes Then & Now: A Mother-Daughter Conversation

Hot Flashes Then & Now: A Mother-Daughter Conversation

Author: Danya R Powers September 15, 2025 Duration: 29:34

This episode is extra special because I’m joined by my very first guest — my mom!

She was born in 1950, raised a family, and lived through menopause in a time when women didn’t really talk about it.

We sat down for a generational conversation about what it means to be a woman, a mom, and a daughter navigating all the changes of midlife — from hot flashes to hormones to self-identity.

Inside, you’ll hear:

✨ What menopause looked like in the 70s and 80s vs. now

✨ How motherhood and body image were handled in her generation

✨ The emotional side of hysterectomy, menopause, and aging — for both of us

✨ Practical wisdom from her perspective, and a rally cry from mine

✨ The reminder that no matter your age, you’re not broken and you’re not alone

This is a heartfelt conversation about connection, resilience, and embracing every season of womanhood.
