About this listen

Becca Williams wears many hats in the tech world these days, including being the founder of the startup Menopausey, which, as the name suggests, is related to perimenopause and menopause. But she’s also been a newspaper and magazine photojournalist and owned a wedding photography business. She’s been a high school Spanish teacher and a middle school art teacher. She’s traveled in the world extensively and was an HIV/AIDS educator in the Peace Corps in Malawi, in Africa. She was a ski instructor at the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Winter Park, many years ago, too. She’s an artist. ... She’s been and done many things.

With those stories in mind, she and Adam Williams talk about the seasons of life, including the midlife stage and perimenopause. As founder of Menopausey, Becca is working on an area of women’s health and education that seems to be rising in public awareness right now. But the information that’s out there often is not accurate, not to mention the myths of menopause that are perpetuated in pop culture, makes this a topic that is in need of attention.

Becca shares some of the dozens of symptoms of perimenopause and other information that many of you – and those around you – will find relevant, sooner or later. This stage of life affects us all in one way or another, men included.
