Hot Mess Express

A HUMOROUS and PRACTICAL
SURVIVAL GUIDE for MENOPAUSE

A Humorous Look at Menopause with
Treatments for Those Pesky Symptoms

Discover Your Menopause Survival Kit: Laugh, Learn, and Thrive!

You may have involuntarily found yourself on the Hot Mess Express, but you can take control of your journey and enjoy the ride. Or at least, survive the roller-coaster known as menopause with laughter. Unlike our grandmothers and moms, who never talked about this natural process, Sally takes us on a dive into the humorous yet practical journey of menopause.

​

Learn about symptoms, treatments, and self-care strategies—from diet and exercise to beauty tips—all enriched with real-life stories that inform and entertain. Empower yourself to discuss health concerns confidently—Is hormone replacement therapy right for me? Would it tame these mood swings? And, why is it so hot in here? Whether you’re in your forties or approaching sixty or beyond, this comprehensive guide offers relief and clarity in navigating the ups and downs of menopause. Embrace The Change with a smile and practical solutions that make a difference—from head to toe.

FAQs

Q: What is the intended ages for this book?
A: 35 - 65, as women are starting perimenopause years earlier than in previous generations and there's information on longevity/aging suitable for those in post menopause. Plus a special note for those who are within 10 years of having already reached menopause (12 consecutive months without a period).

Q: Is this a book about funny menopause stories or does it actually have useful information to help women going through The Change?
A: It has both humorous stories and the latest information on menopause and handling symptoms

Q: Is this book just for women?
A: It is recommended that men who want to survive and thrive through their loved one's menopause also read this book to help navigate their relationship and avoid a divorce or a prison sentence. Be brave men, read it!

Q: Is this book for women who haven't had major symptoms?
A: Yes! Just because you didn't have hot flashes, night sweats, irritability/mood swings, or a hundred other symptoms, doesn't mean you aren't still on a path with heart disease and osteoporosis. The sum of your failing hormones doesn't just equal the common symptoms they make Broadway shows about.
