About this listen

A frank, funny and informative guide to menopause and aging by beloved actress Naomi Watts, one of the leading voices in menopause awareness—with a foreword by Mary Claire Haver, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause

At thirty-six, Naomi Watts had just completed filming King Kong and was trying to start a family when she was told that she was on the brink of menopause. It is estimated that seventy-five million women in the United States are currently dealing with menopause symptoms (dry itchy skin, raging hormones, night sweats), and yet the very word “menopause” continues to be associated with stigma and confusion. With so little information, many women feel unprepared, ashamed, and deeply alone when the time comes.

This is the book Naomi Watts wishes she had when she first started experiencing symptoms. Like sitting down over coffee and having an intimate chat with your girlfriend, Dare I Say It blends funny and poignant stories from Naomi and her friends with advice from doctors, hormone experts, and nutritionists to take the secrecy and shame out of menopause and aging. Answering questions such as: What’s hormone therapy and should I be on it? Will I ever sleep again? Will I get myself back? What happened to my libido? Do I need eighteen serums for my aging skin? Whose body is this anyway? Who am I now? Naomi Watts shares the most up-to-date research on how to manage menopause symptoms and tackle the physical and emotional challenges we encounter as we age.

Irreverent, bold, and reassuring, Dare I Say It is the companion every woman needs to embrace the best version of herself as she moves into what can be the most powerful and satisfying period of her life.

Critic reviews

“I stand in admiration of Naomi Watts for tackling the verboten subject of menopause. She is frank, funny, and fearless. Women all around the world will be grateful for her guiding light, as I know I am. Naomi is an American hero (even though no one really knows where she’s actually from).”Chelsea Handler, New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me. . . and You Too!

“Naomi Watt’s book, Dare I Say It, simultaneously educates, destigmatizes, and personalizes this universal female experience called menopause. Her book is clear, well-resourced, and provides a balanced approach to navigating the challenges of menopause. By sharing her story, she is showing women how to minimize suffering and maximize their health and happiness as they age. A must-read for every woman over thirty!”—Dr. Sharon Malone, New York Times bestselling author of Grown Woman Talk

“Wow! Dare I Say It is much more than a book about menopause—it’s a revolutionary guide, best friend, and expert wrapped into a fun-to-read package. Watts writes openly about her own story while beautifully weaving in cutting-edge research and expert opinions. A must-read for all women and those who care about them.”—Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play
