“Here’s what people are saying about our Menopause show  You can scroll down and watch the full episode.

• “This should be MANDATORY VIEWING FOR ALL MEN AND WOMEN. Understanding Menopause is essential to establishing the foundation for a good relationship with your partner. I’m not only sharing this podcast with my wife and some of my closest male friends.”

• “Donna was a phenomenal host. She was so honest and open about her menopause experiences, which were enlightening. After the show, I told my wife of 44 years that I would never tease her again about freezing me out in her car and our home.”

• “I’m a regular watcher of the show.  I always say the shows are good.  Some are better than others, but they’re all good.  This show broke the bank.  I forwarded the show to 93 people, and I got positive comments from 92 people.  The show was just that good and informative.”

• “Carlos’ reaction to the information was priceless.”

• “I thought Gary and the hosts handled this thought-provoking and enlightening conversation with grace, dignity and empathy.”

• “I just watched this podcast.  And I just shared it on my Facebook page.  Donna did an outstanding job.  It was great to see the “men” on the show sweating🤣. Thank you for always looking at things in life from all sides. Gary, you do a fantastic job with the topics you approach on your show!”

• “That was a good show.  Donna was great.  And yes, menopause is different for everyone.  Ten years being an estimate, some women go longer and some incredibly short.”

• “Great Show.  You got the right one.  She certainly was not afraid to speak on the subject and its effects on both sides.  Definitely was a lot of quietness from The Brothers.”

• “I love the honesty.”

• “The silence from you guys and the expression on Donna’s face when she finished her point was comedy gold.”

• “The only thing men need to know is to leave us alone when we tell ya to…when we’re hot, don’t be trying to cuddle. Move that ass over!”

• “Just watched the podcast on Menopause. I’m so looking forward to ‘Men-O-shit I didn’t sign up for this” Pause part deux.”  That conversation on the podcast is saving lives, relationships and a host of other things, especially given our demographics here in Palm Coast, FL.”

• “I just finished watching the podcast. I’m a 64-year-old man, and I found it to be VERY informative. I was confronted with some hard truths. The first truth: I’ve been a JACKASS. I owe my ex-wife, my current wife, and at least three ex-girlfriends sincere and heartfelt apologies. I first saw Gary Johnson on stage at The World Bank 25 years ago. He was a compelling storyteller then. I started following him on social media about two years ago. , and his stories through videos and podcasts always pull me in. This show was no exception—it was truly compelling.”

• “If you’d asked me last week to watch a podcast about menopause, I would have told you to GTFOH. This show made me realize just how out of line I was simply because I didn’t know any better. I’m sending this show to my friends. By the way, is Carlos OK? I was worried about him halfway through, but he came back strong at the end. C.J. was smart—he mostly listened and muted himself. Mr. Spivey was the wise sage, sharing research before turning it back over to Donna. I can’t wait for Part 2.”

• “The first 30 seconds of this podcast had me hooked. (I love Lizzo). Thank you, Donna—you opened my eyes. Sending this show to my friends. Can’t believe I’m actually posting a comment, but I want to see more.”

• “I learned a lot.  If you will excuse me, I’ve got some work to do on my relationship.”
