What do you do when your midlife body just doesn’t feel like you anymore? From hormone-induced weight gain to a shifting of your proportions, a changing body can be a normal – if not always welcome – part of perimenopause and menopause. In this conversation, Kristen Mei Chase and I get real about how we’re feeling about our bodies right now, how we’re trying to reframe our struggles, and how we’re learning to have fun while re-learning how to dress ourselves and the bodies we have now.
