Sarah Mount
This week on Honestly, Dear Listener, we once again welcome Denver-based Saxophonist, Artist, and Educator Sarah Mount of Sarah Mount and the Rushmores to the podcast. We discuss something people don’t talk about enough: perimenopause. Did you know perimenopause can start ten years before a woman’s body starts menopause? We’re talking mid-30s, people, or even earlier! And when the hormones start shifting, it can throw so many things off-kilter.
We share a candid discussion with Sarah Mount about perimenopause, what it’s doing to our bodies, and how our art and creativity are affected. We also discuss the shame connected with women’s health in general and how that needs to change!
