Something has happened to me in my nearly three years of menopause that I never thought was possible: I finally know and like myself! Katja Burkard.

Everyone experiences it, but no one talks openly about it: Many women slide into menopause completely unprepared and have no idea what is happening to their lives and bodies. Inexplicable hot flashes, sudden emotional outbursts over trivial matters, sleepless nights, and nervous breakdowns.

This is what happened to Katja Burkard when menopause began shortly after her 50th birthday. With humor and great honesty, she now shares her own experiences in this book, answers all the questions she had during this time, and shows what this life phase has to offer beyond hot flashes.

The book includes interviews with hormone specialist Prof. Dr. Dr. Johannes Huber and star designer Guido Maria Kretschmer.
