Menopause, Grief & Reinvention: Author Teri M. Brown on Becoming “Peg, Unhinged”

  1. Menopause, Grief & Reinvention: Author Teri M. Brown on Becoming “Peg, Unhinged” Boom With A Bang! 1:20:30

Author Teri M. Brown returns to The Boomer Woman’s Podcast for a conversation filled with laughter, honesty, grief, reinvention, and the wonderfully messy reality of midlife.

From menopause rage and dark humour to widowhood, writing through grief, and learning how to keep becoming after life changes everything, Teri shares the deeply human stories behind her newest novel, Peg, Unhinged.

In This Episode:

  • Why menopause can feel “like being thirteen again… but worse”
  • Writing humour while grieving the loss of the Love of your life
  • The emotional reality of rebuilding life after widowhood
  • Why women should never allow age to define possibility
  • Lessons learned from riding a tandem bicycle across America
  • How historical fiction reveals that human nature rarely changes

Sometimes the next chapter begins not because we chose it — but because life insisted — and we discover we are still capable of becoming.

I’ve probably done most of the things you expect a woman my age to have done: married and divorced; three children; variety of jobs over the years including a couple of home-based businesses and, finally, a pretty good career; gave up that career (and home and life) to move and take care of a dementing mother; adult daughter moved back home with a baby; financial struggles; sucker-punched by the post-2007 economy. You tell a similar story.

My podcast is for Boomer Women. A variety of subjects, a variety of viewpoints... and open to suggestions if I'm not covering a topic you want to hear about.
