Menopause Rise and Thrive | Helping Women Navigate Midlife and Menopause

120. Cougar Puberty, The We Do Not Care Club and Why Menopause Humor Helps Fuel the Conversation


Listen Later

Are you crying over dog food commercials… or impulse-buying your fourth pair of reading glasses? Welcome to the wild ride of Cougar Puberty—yes, it’s a thing, and no, you’re not the only one living it. In this short but laughter-filled episode, we’re talking about the hormonal chaos of perimenopause and menopause… and why comparing it to puberty might just be the most accurate (and hilarious) take out there.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re reliving the emotional roller coaster of your teen years—minus the slumber parties and with a lot more night sweats—this episode will help you feel seen, heard, and not so alone.

 

In this episode:

  • What “Cougar Puberty” actually means—and why it’s more real than you think
  • The hormonal roller coaster you’re riding (and how it mirrors your teen years)
  • How humor can lighten the heavy parts of perimenopause
  • Why we love the “We Do Not Care Club”—and how to join guilt-free
  • The delicate balance of not caring about the small stuff while still caring deeply for yourself
  • Why finding the right practitioner can make all the difference
  • A surprising reason for night sweats (hint: it’s not always hormones!)
