Hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, and forgetting why you walked into a room… comadres, nobody prepared us for THIS part of being a woman!

In Episode 6 of Madres & Desmadres, we’re talking perimenopause and menopause—the symptoms nobody warned us about, the moments that make us question our sanity, and the struggle of trying to function at work when our bodies and brains seem to have other plans.

We’re playing “Menopause or Nah?!”, sharing our own experiences, and getting into the big debate: Should women get paid menopause days off? If companies offer maternity leave, should they also recognize the challenges that can come with menopause? Or should workplaces focus on more flexible support for everyone?

We’re laughing, keeping it real, and talking about what women actually need—from better education and healthcare to understanding, flexibility, and the freedom to speak up without feeling embarrassed.

Because this isn’t just about hot flashes. It’s about our health, our work, and learning to navigate a new chapter of life without feeling like we have to suffer in silence.

¿Y tú, Madre? Would you use paid menopause days if your job offered them?

Madres & Desmadres — real moms, real life, and a little desmadre.

Educational note: This episode is for general conversation and education, not personal medical advice.

And remember Madres, nobody has this shit figured out. We're just doing our best, one desmadre at a time.
