This week’s episode is extra special. Our guest is Gina Paulding-Ransom, a Street Parking OG, SP Mama, and the woman behind “Menopause Mondays.” Gina is one of the sweetest, most compassionate members of the SP Community and she joins us this week to share about her experience with becoming a mother by birth and by marriage (Hello, Handsome Ransom!) and then she opens up about her current experience with a slightly different but equally transformative stage of life: menopause.
