At My Kitchen Table
Welcome to At My Kitchen Table, a conversational, interview-y podcast where I have a good yap with a guest!
When I was growing up, the kitchen table was the conversation center in a lot of homes. At my grandparents' house, friends and family alike were welcomed with connection as much as with drinks and food. In my parents' house, that tradition continued as my siblings and I would post up and chat with my mom as she cooked or baked or tried to read a book (with much exasperation as we refused to shut up). I found cozy similarity at my friends' homes with their parents, too.
Keeping with tradition, I create a space for everyone who visits my table, where we get to share a little bit of our journeys together - roses, thorns, and stems.
At My Kitchen Table
Guest: Connie Iorio
I welcome Connie Iorio at my kitchen table with an adult beverage this week to talk about understanding menopause through the rearview, which is the only view you have when you go through it early but the doctors won't take you seriously! She very candidly discusses what she calls her "crazy years" as we walk through what it feels like when you aren't believed by the people you are supposed to be able to trust, and why it's so important for men to know more as well.
Intro riff by Dale Lytle (concert husband).
