Okay friends… this one has been highly requested and wow, did we go there.
This week, we're talking all things perimenopause and menopause… or as we like to call it, cougar puberty. And let's just say… nobody prepared us for this level of chaos.
From hot flashes that feel like your body is combusting, to chin hairs that appear out of nowhere, to walking into a room and forgetting your entire existence… we are unpacking it all.
But it's not just the physical stuff. This stage hits your identity, your relationships, your patience (or lack of it), and honestly… your sanity some days.
We're sharing what's actually happening in our bodies, what's completely blindsided us, and why having a solid group of women around you might just be the thing that saves you.
Also… we may or may not have pitched the idea of running away to Tuscany for 8 years. You're welcome.
In this episode, we chat about:What perimenopause actually is (and why no one teaches us this)
The wild symptoms nobody warns you about
Why your memory suddenly feels… questionable
Marriage, mood swings, and saying "not right now" on repeat
Body changes that feel completely out of your control
The identity shift that hits in your 40s and beyond
Why your circle gets smaller… and better
What's actually helping (hint: it's not 12,000 supplements)
The importance of female friendships in this stage of life
If you're in it, heading into it, or just curious… you are not alone.
And if nothing else, we're all just overheating together 🔥
