b'We hear the story of Barbara Hannah Grufferman as she navigates menopause away from a glum-looking future, to a thriving today. Hear Barbara\'s personal journey of how she went from being a non-runner at 50 to a multi-time marathon and also ultra finisher, as well as a healthy aging advocate, author, and so much more.\\xa0\\xa0\\nAs Barbara Hannah Grufferman approached her 50th birthday, she was feeling, as she describes it, the \\u201cumpies\\u201d: lumpy, grumpy, and frumpy. Her health wasn\\u2019t great: she\\u2019d spent her adult life putting the needs of everyone else ahead of herself: work, family, community. And now those choices were catching up to her. And, she\\u2019d just gone through menopause, which had had it\\u2019s own challenging impact. The spark and grit she\\u2019d had before seemed to be fading into the past.\\xa0\\nMaybe this is what getting older and seeing the other side of menopause was all about? she thought.\\nAnd then, a pointed comment by her then young daughter and a well-timed Wall Street Journal article changed everything. Barbara, who\\u2019d never been a runner, set down a path of marathon running, health and wellness, and discovering how to age the very best she could.\\xa0\\nSince that day, 15 years ago, Barbara has completed over a dozen marathons and one ultra, and there\\u2019s more to come. She also shares her wisdom and lived experience of achieving wellness and health after 50 with a growing number of woman in her work as an advocate for aging well. Barbara has written two books, writes a newsletter, has spoken in public on many occasions, and so much more. In a word, Barbara is vibrant.\\xa0\\nWays to follow Barbara Hannah Grufferman\\nBarbara\\u2019s website: barbarahannahgrufferman.com\\nSubscribe to Barbara\\u2019s Menopause Cheat Sheet\\nFollow Barbara on Instagram:\\xa0@barbarahannahgrufferman\\nFollow Barbara on Twitter: @BGrufferman\\nThe Coach Parry\\xa0Running Through Menopause Training Program\\nThe Coach Parry webinar, where we first "met" Barbara\\nWe recommend the podcast Hear Her Sports:\\xa0hearhersports.com\\n\\ufeffWays to Connect and Engage with Women\'s Running Stories\\nInstagram: @womensrunningstories\\nTwitter: @WomenRunStories\\nWebsite: womensrunningstories.com\\nEmail host Cherie: clouiseturner@gmail.com\\nWomen\'s Running Stories is a member of the Evergreen network: https://evergreenpodcasts.com/'
