Pass the Remote

The Ma'ams delve into an often overlooked casualty of menopause - the mind. What to do if a drop in estrogen is contributing to absent mindedness and forgetfulness due to undiagnosed ADHD?

Join the Ma'ams for a lively discussion of how they tackle the common woe of relationship monotony. Sometimes all it takes is a touch of initiative to shake off the doldrums that occur in long term relationships.

The Ma'ams reminisce about their coming of age and the journey that led them into womanhood.   Sandy remembered playing spin the bottle and kissing a boy named Ira who was a good kisser.  Kyra was focused on the chant  "I Must, I must increase my bust" because she was worried her breasts would resemble a woman she delivered newspapers to.

As Kyra and Sandy take a stroll down memory lane, sharing the wisdom they'd impart to their younger selves, a revelation unfolds. It seems the echoes of wisdom align with the timeless lyrics of Baz Luhrmann's 'Everybody's Free'. Looks like the universal truth persists: they've discovered firsthand that, indeed, Mother was right all along.

Sandy and Kyra are giddy over the latest reality tv dating show, The Golden Bachelor, which focuses on finding love in midlife.  

Sandy & Kyra explore their texting styles and discover that it would be helpful to have a texting guidebook for reference.

The Ma'ams talk to a 60 year old MAN who is living his best life and question why they aren't?

Sandy stepped way out of her comfort zone by accepting an award that acknowledged her as a Long Island Power Woman. Kyra acknowledges that she's not a public speaker, yet she was able to entertain at her best friend's wedding, presenting a lengthy and memorable toast for the audience to enjoy.

Sandy felt abandoned by her husband at his boss' party, when he didn't realize that she had been eating dinner alone while he was at the bar talking to his female and male colleagues.  Kyra enjoyed being left alone at parties. In fact she insists upon it. 'Cliff go away, I want to mingle on my own and now worry about you being upset with me'. 

The Ma'ams grapple with their slower paced lifestyles in middle age. Kyra, a lifelong thrill-seeker and adrenaline junkie, finds solace on her colossal "boat" couch, binge-watching streaming shows and reminiscing about prior adventures. Sandy fondly recalls her party-filled Bar Mitzvah days.
