PerryMenopause: OMG

Episode 014: C&C invite Hetal Vig on to speak about the importance of screening and cancer genetics

Perimenopause is such an important time to continue with and/or start preventative cancer screenings:  mammograms, pap smears, colonoscopies and skin checks to name a few.  Did your mom, dad, sibling or close relative have a cancer diagnosis and you're afraid the "c" word runs in your family.  Should you get screenings earlier than suggested?  How do you know when to have a conversation with your doctor?  Christen and Carla speak with board certified genetic counselor, Hetal Vig, on today's episode to find out all about cancer risk and genetic counseling.  Why is genetic counseling important?  Who should be counseled?  What should you do with the information if you get tested?  If you've ever asked yourself these questions or are curious about genetic testing, this is an episode for you!  We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation with Hetal--she's a fountain of knowledge and breaks it down for us to make sense of it all!

In Episode 10, Christen and Carla talked with Carla's dear friend, Courtney Cherry about relationships and how those relationships evolve as we age.  They knew it was going to be a great discussion but they didn't know how long they could chat about the subject!  Instead of editing the content down to one bite-sized episode, C&C decided to do a Part 2 on relationships.  Christen and Carla wrap up the first of their "If I only knew about" episode on relationships with discussions about familial, romantic and children relationships!   Please follow our podcast by clicking the + sign on any platform you use to listen to your podcasts.  If you follow the pod, you'll be automatically notified when new episodes are released.  Thanks for your support!  If you have any questions or episode suggestions please email us at www.perrymenopauseomg@gmail.com.

Episode 010: If I only knew about...relationships

In a mini-series titled "If I only knew about..." Christen and Carla invite their friends to join them in discussions about a plethora of topics that they wish they knew about when they were younger!  For the first episode in this series, C&C invite one of Carla's best friends, Courtney Cherry, to join them in a discussion about relationships.  Courtney also happens to be an expert in global brand marketing and communications so it's very fitting to have her on the pod to discuss relationships--something Courtney cultivates on a daily basis for her career.  Listen as the girls discuss (and laugh about) relationships and how they evolve throughout adulthood.  "If I only knew about...relationships" is a 2-part episode because, you guys, relationships are not cut and dry and there's LOTS to say about them! Thanks again to Courtney Cherry for being a wonderful friend for over two decades!  Tune into Courtney's dog's Instagram account @cheddarthebasset!
