About this listen
Have you ever woken up feeling like you're a human furnace, wondering if someone secretly replaced your bedroom with a sauna? Welcome to menopause–nature's way of saying, "You thought puberty was fun? Hold my hot tea."
In this laugh-out-loud guide to navigating your body's midlife adventure, you'll discover that while menopause might be inevitable, misery isn't. From spontaneous personal summers to the joy of finding a random chin hair at the most inconvenient moment, this book transforms the menopause experience from dreaded transition to enlightening (and entertaining) journey.
Inside, you'll find:
- The unfiltered truth about what's really happening to your body (explained in ways that will make you snort-laugh)
- Real strategies for dealing with hot flashes, mood swings, and that mysterious ability to forget why you walked into a room
- Stories from women who've been there, survived that, and lived to laugh about it
- Science-backed solutions that actually work (no snake oil or magical thinking here)
- A judgment-free zone where brain fog is normal and asking "Is it hot in here?" is practically a greeting
This isn't your mother's menopause book. It's a modern, witty companion for anyone wondering why they're suddenly collecting fans like they're going out of style. Whether you're in the thick of it or seeing the first signs, this guide offers wisdom, warmth, and plenty of much-needed laughs.
Because let's face it – menopause is coming for us all. We might as well face it armed with knowledge, humor, and a really good cooling pillow.
Perfect for women who:
- Want straight talk about menopause without the doom and gloom
- Need a laugh while learning how to handle this new chapter
- Are looking for practical solutions wrapped in humor
- Could use a friend who gets it (and makes it funny)
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Just What the Doctor Ordered
As a woman starting to embark on the menopause journey, I am so glad I found this book. Entering menopause can feel a little scary, and a bit fearful of all of the changes that are yet to come. I found this book hilarious; it really lightened the situation and made me feel like I could get through it. It was uplifting, and the tone was casual, relatable, and friendly. The narration kept me engaged while providing such helpful and insightful information. Ladies, you need this book!

Honest and Refreshing Take on Menopause
I listened to this while doing some gardening and found myself smiling more than once. The narrator had a friendly easygoing voice that made even the tougher parts feel less heavy. It gave real facts without drowning you in medical terms and the humour made it all feel more human. It reminded me of chats with friends where we could laugh and vent about the changes happening to our bodies. A thoughtful and down to earth guide for navigating a tricky time in life.

Finally—A Menopause Book That Gets It (and Me)
I wasn’t expecting to laugh while learning about hot flashes and hormone swings, but here we are. This book doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and that’s exactly what I needed. It explains what’s really happening with your body and offers solutions that make sense without sounding preachy. Felt like talking to a super-smart friend who’s been through it all. I’m walking away feeling informed, seen, and a lot more in control of this whole menopause ride.

A guide everyone woman needs!
Well, if you're a woman you're gonna hit this wall at some point and this is the book you'll want in your personal library! I love the way the author approaches this topic. The narration was great too, the voice matches this genre which made this fun to listen to. But really this book addresses all things menopause and gets into the why hot flashes happen, why brain fog happens..but then backs it up with how to fix that or navigate it, etc. This is a book I'm so happy to have in my possession so i can refer to it often!! Highly recommend this one! And if you're a man reading this review....Get this for your woman!!

A Must listen for all menopausal women
This audiobook is a barrel of laughs from beginning to end. It takes the topic of menopause and jokes about how forgetful we become and how our bodies are changing, But it does it in a way that gives you a warm hug at the same time. It's a fun way to look at this time in our life, whilst learning something new and educating yourself on this change, but with a sprinkle of humor. I loved it, laughed along but also learnt something new along the way. A must have for all women!

Not kidding - better than my office visit
I wish I had this months ago. It cuts through all the confusing info and just tells it straight — with some much-needed humor. I felt seen, not lectured, and finally understood what was happening with my body. The tips were practical, and it was honestly a relief to laugh while learning. This made menopause feel way less overwhelming. (Despite the continued hot flashed... they’re manageable, though.)

Refreshing, Real, and Actually Helpful
I wish I had this audiobook earlier! It tackles menopause in a way that’s both smart and hilarious. The science backed tips are easy to follow, and the tone made me feel like I was chatting with a really wise (and funny) friend. I finally understood what was going on with my body, and that alone gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend if you’re tired of vague advice and want something relatable that actually works.

Good mix of info and humor
I got this for my wife because she’s been having a rough time with hot flashes and sleep. She started listening in the car and told me she was actually laughing out loud. She said it made her feel normal and less alone. I noticed she seemed more relaxed after listening. It’s the first thing that made her feel better without sounding boring or like a lecture. Glad I found this for her.
