What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Menopause - does this word make it sound like the beginning of the end for your body? Like this is when your body starts falling apart?

Donna Klassen joins us on the show today, and she’s flipping the menopause conversation all on its head.

Donna is the CEO and co-founder of Let’s Talk Menopause, a national nonprofit organization that is invested in helping women get the information they need and the healthcare they deserve.

She has a remarkable personal story about her own journey with menopause and cancer, she’s also a practicing therapist and licensed clinical social worker so she has a really unique perspective about this time of life. In the show notes, her Menopause Talks series is linked below, which feature in-depth discussions with a wide range of menopause specialists. So helpful!

In this conversation, Donna shares about the need to change the conversation around menopause, emphasizing that it is not a time to be afraid of and that it's okay to talk about it. She highlights the culture of suffering among women and the importance of changing the conversation to focus on getting good medical care and being one's own advocate.

Donna shares her personal menopause story and the lack of guidance she received from healthcare providers. She emphasizes the need for comprehensive menopause training for doctors and the importance of education and awareness about menopause. Donna encourages women to practice self-compassion and acceptance, and to take action in the moment to feel better.
