What happens when motherhood and perimenopause collide? In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and doula, and author of Mothershift, Jessie Harrold, to talk about the big identity shifts that come with these life stages. We unpack the messy emotions, the self-doubt, and the cultural pressures that make change feel so hard—and why it’s also a chance to rediscover who we are.

Jessie and I explore how small moments of curiosity can spark creativity and self-trust, even in the chaos. Whether it’s a quiet walk or just taking a deep breath, these simple shifts can help us embrace change instead of fighting it. Join us for an honest, dare I say even poetic conversation about navigating grief and discovering the upgraded versions of ourselves in midlife!
