🔥 One night on air changed everything for Tamsen Fadal.

She was at the top of her game as a TV anchor when she suddenly started forgetting words and sweating through live broadcasts, without realizing she was entering menopause. That moment became the turning point that led her from journalism to advocacy. In this conversation, Tamsen shares how she turned confusion into purpose, launching The M Factor documentary and her book How to Menopause.

✨ Join us as we talk about redefining midlife, breaking the silence, and helping women everywhere navigate this powerful new chapter.
