“Dr. Sharon Malone is an ob-gyn in Washington, and she’s been such a wonderful resource — a steadying force — in our group of women friends. So often, women have a lot of questions about our bodies — what we know, what we don’t know — especially when we’re going through a transition like puberty or menopause or anything else. Sharon has been such a godsend for us as we navigate these topics in our own lives.”
