Cathy Rust used her professional background in green building to design sleepwear for women that would help them when suffering through night sweats. It led her to found CoolYourSweats.

"I wanted to help other women who were suffering like me get their sleep back."

In this episode we discuss:

Menopause - knowing and understanding the signs and symptoms.

The Sandwich Generation - the stress of caring for your children and your parents at the same time.

Relationships - finding and nurturing new and existing relationships and why it's important to have a network of women around you, especially in motherhood.
