No one warned you that your body would suddenly become a mystery.
One minute you're a competent adult. The next you're standing in the kitchen wondering why you walked in there, sweating through your shirt, crying over a dog food commercial, and trying to remember a word you've used your entire life.
In this funny, honest, and deeply practical field guide, Dora Bond shares the real-life survival strategies that helped her navigate hot flashes, brain fog, insomnia, anxiety, rage, exhaustion, disappearing vocabulary, and the grief that comes with realizing your old operating system has been quietly replaced.

Permission to stop treating yourself like a problem to solve
Through humor, personal stories, and the wisdom of the Wiser Dragon, this book offers something many women never receive during this stage of life:
You are not lazy.
You are not broken.
You are not losing your mind.You are transforming in the wiser dragon.
Pull up a blanket. Grab some water. Touch your dragon.
