What an informative and humorous presentation of Midlife Mamas! Sunny definitely shares her experiences in a witty, positive, and personal way, covering just about every aspect of life. She offers great suggestions and stimulates the reader to action. I appreciate the sections at the end of each chapter--"The Checklist" and "The Checkup from the Neck Up". Sunny has helped define womanhood, the ups and the downs, in a provocative way. This is a MUST READ for all women!

Packed from cover to cover with a thoroughly "reader friendly" text by wellness trainer Sunny Hersh, Midlife Mamas On The Moon: Celebrate Great Health, Friendships, Sex, And Money And Launch Your Second Life! is enhanced with useful checklists, honest personal stories, and a wealth of practical resources to show midlife women just how they can successfully move their lives forward into a promising future every bit as exciting and fulfilling as their previous decades of life. Illustrative and inspiring quotations from midlife mentors ranging from Dr. Christiane Northrup and Rabbi Harold Kushner, to Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet and Dr. John Gray, Midlife Mamas On The Moon tackles a wide and diverse selection of issues ranging from Viagra to boomers, to PMS to the question of whether meditation is like prayer. From relationships with teen children, peer group friendships, and aging parents, to staying married, to surviving divorce, to intimacy with a new partner, Midlife Mamas On The Moon will prove to invaluable and highly recommended reading.

I picked up this book expecting another dreary tale about how to cope with menopause, but got a lot more than that! I feel energized by the many tips and nuggets found in this book on everything from understanding your husband to motivating yourself to excercise. So many of the articles you rip out of newspapers and magazines are summed up here, and the book is fun to read.

this book came to me at a time when i have lost my older brother to suicide and my son at war in Iraq.
My mother died at 49 and so did my brother.
I am to be 49 this year and have been struggling with this
issue. my counsiler told me about this book and it has helped me realize i am ok! better than ok!
thankyou!

Looking for a way to take control? This humorous, information-filled book is a great start to doing just that. It's a terrific book to be enjoyed in its entirety, and it's an easy and breezy read. It also works as a quick reference for individual topics of interest. The author has done an exceptional job of formatting and consolidating a vast amount of research. I am happy to say as a medical professional, family counselor, and Midlife Mama, that her data is accurate, approvable, and valuable. It also makes for insightful reading for significant others who share your life, both male and female. Every household should have Midlife Mamas on the shelf. It has the power to inspire you to take control and change your life.

This is a must have book for every woman over 40.
You not only learn helpful hints, but you laugh all the way through.
I'm definitely getting more copies to give away as gifts to those I care about.
Well worth the money to be so inspired.

Like having a best friend or a buddy in the waters of life letting you know when the next wave is coming, Sunny explains, shares and provides real answers to real issues. In her book, she has 33 chapters that can be randomly read but directly impact. As a mom of three, with one on the way, that is like getting insider information on the next wave...

After reading the chapter on hormones I called my gyno and made an appt. When I disscussed switching hormones she said" whats wrong with what you're on?" When I explained to her my reasons for switching she was not very supportive. This would have never taken place if i had not read this book. Sunny made me laugh as well as open my mind to whats going on out there. Thank you Sunny!

I absolutely LOVE this book. Sunny Hersh just has a way of "putting" it out there...plain, simple, from the heart. Reading her book is like getting together and having a girly talk with your best friend. Her witty sense of humor keeps you laughing, and makes you reflect on your own life. I would recommend that every woman read this book. I keep it on my nightstand, and refer to it often for certain life situations.
Thank you Sunny!!

In "Midlife Mamas on the Moon," Sunny Hersh presents pertinent topics for women over 40. The sooner you read this book the better your life will be. Since I just turned 40 I found this book to be a helpful guide to a life I will soon be living. Instead of being shocked or annoyed by symptoms of aging, I can be prepared and aware of subtle changes.

Sunny Hersh shares her personal experiences and gives advice on a wealth of topics including relationship issues, sexuality, dating, financial security, hormone replacement, exercise and diet. She also gives helpful tips on looking after your partner's health.

Most of the book reads like a conversation with a close friend and I found myself writing down the names of numerous books and supplements. This book will bring you up to date on the most important lifestyle changes so you can ensure a smooth transition from 40 to 50 and beyond.
