Rosie’s journey through personal challenges , including early menopause, has contributed to a life devoted to healing, growth, and service. This conversation felt like a supportive conversation between girlfriends about our personal journeys with perimenopause.

We talk about:

• Rosie’e early years in East Los Angeles as the daughter of immigrant parents that she describes as tumultuous and challenging.
• How Rosie found meditation and yoga early in her life and how it helped her self-reflect early and ultimately led to her work in the world.
• How perimenopause was the most challenging, dark, horrific experience Rosie has ever had which is why she wants to educate women about this process.
• Rosie’s journey of infertility which was happening simultaneously with perimenopause, although no medical professionals caught this leading to additional suffering.
• Hormone replacement therapy and how it helped Rosie feel like herself again.
• How menopause can be an amazing entry point into a new life.
