Blog Tagline: Not your mama’s menopause
What makes the blog worth visiting?
A timely, honest, modern and sometimes irreverant look at menopause and the issues surrounding its stigma and treatment. Flashfree aims to meet the needs of women who find themselves drowning in a sea of bad, confusing, repetitive information that either talks down, at or over them rather than addresses their needs. The majority of treatment information is of the alternative, complementary, or integrative vein and overall, the blog aims to engage, enlist and lighten the burden of growing older in a youth-obsessed culture.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
So, how do you like your information served? Sugar-coated with a cherry and whipped cream? Or organic, fresh and crisp, just-picked and newly-ripened, one perfect portion at a time, presented with you and your needs in mind?
I only ask not be “talked at” but spoken to in an engaging, respectful manner. I didn’t believe those tampon ads back in the 70s depicting two happy teenage girls on the beach exercising, and I don’t believe that I should be told that I will delight in a drenching hot flash, perspiration rolling down my face, and huge sweat rings staining a new silk blouse.
So, here’s my promise to you. Straight talk, no shooter, engaging, factual, and timely. If you catch a few words here and there that resonate…well, we’re halfway there!
