214 - Lyn Jutronich on What it Feels Like to Get Attacked by a Great White Shark + Menopause, Pessaries & More

No, that's not a typo. My old friend, one of my college swimming besties (we're standing next to each other top row 5th & 6th from right), Lyn (Askey) Jutronich was recently attacked by a great white shark while swimming in Del Mar, CA. I had reconnected with her about a year ago when I was seeking advice on whether to start HRT. She sent me a note about her perimenopause journey in all its glory and I thought, "We should really feature her on a podcast!" Lo and behold I was reading the news a couple months ago and saw an article about the most recent shark attack in the world only to realize I was watching a video of LYN ASKEY from her hospital bed!

I immediately reached out to make sure she was okay and we both agreed that she needed to come on the show and share her story. Two months after the attack, we connected on so much more than sharks. Lyn is one of the most open, amazing women you'll ever meet. She shares life tips, beauty hacks, menopause wisdom and the tale of her crazy shark encounter - and I know you'll leave wanting so much more. Don't worry she shares her email - so send her a note if you want!
