AFTER READING GROWN WOMAN TALK BY SHARON MALONE, M.D.: 10 Lessons I Learned About Midlife Health & Confidence – Reflections for Thriving at Every Stage There is a curious moment that occurs somewhere in your mid-forties. You may be in the kitchen, clutching a mug of coffee or looking out the window. Nothing dramatic is happening. The house is quiet. The world hasn’t ended. And yet deep down you sense something strange is happening. Not the seismic kind. More like the kind that makes you realize you’ve been moving on autopilot for years and you’ve just woken up. What Sharon Malone, M.D. does in Grown Woman Talk is she puts a stethoscope, not just on the breast, but on the soul of that time. She strains to hear the soft throb beneath the clamor of careers, care-giving, the body becoming, the self becoming. And what she finds — what she surfaces with grace and a surgeon’s precision — is a new sort of conversation. One we haven’t been trained to have. One we didn’t even know we were allowed to have. This book is a reflection on that conversation. It’s not a medical manual, though the wisdom is medically sound. It’s not a self-help book, though many of the stories may help.
