For hosts: take The Ten on air. Ten yes-or-no questions, ninety seconds, and your audience answers along with you.

Ten yes-or-no questions that never ask about a hot flash. A practical opening to a conversation about sleep, mood, cognition and desire. Recognition starts the questions; it does not make a diagnosis.

She practiced the whole conversation, then said half of it in the room. A practical segment: three concerns, a dated symptom score and the question she wants answered before leaving. Viewers can make their own free appointment page.

What would you ask if you could say the whole sentence? Pleasure, desire and asking a clinician about pain. Frank enough to make women listen. Useful enough to make them keep listening.

Every woman knows it. You describe what is happening, and someone tells you it is just age. Colleen names it, and shows women how to answer it with a dated number.

Menopause can coincide with substantial professional experience and responsibility. What can better clinical care and practical workplace support make possible? The Bedside Brief includes a dated, sourced policy snapshot, distinguishing enacted protections from proposals.

Read the opening of “If You Are Reading This at Three in the Morning,” then talk about what women leave unsaid when the rest of the house is asleep.

Two to eight women. Ninety minutes. No one has to polish the baseboards. Show how to host a Fire Brunch with the free guide and conversation cards.

What if the resolution is to stop putting yourself last? A January conversation about what women want from the years ahead.

For timely coverage: October is Menopause Awareness Month. World Menopause Day is October 18. These conversations belong on the calendar all year.

What do you say to the woman reading at three in the morning? Where does a woman start after being told her labs are normal? What does “Coffee counts” mean for a Fire Brunch?
