Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of midlife—perimenopause, shifting relationships, changing roles—and wondering how to navigate it all with confidence? In this episode, we’re diving into the one thing you can control: your mindset. Your thoughts shape your experience, and by making small shifts in perspective, you can change the way you feel, the way you show up, and even how your body responds to this transformative time.

I recently spoke about mindset at a retreat, and the response was incredible—so I knew I had to share this with you. We’ll explore why mindset is more than just “woo-woo” talk, how science backs up the power of neuroplasticity, and practical ways to cultivate a mindset that supports your health, energy, relationships, and personal growth.

In this episode:

How negative thoughts impact your well-being—and how to shift them

The powerful link between mindset and your perimenopause & menopause symptoms

Why gratitude isn’t just a feel-good practice, but a brain-rewiring tool

The role of self-compassion in creating new, healthy habits

How to reframe midlife as a season of renewal instead of decline

The importance of surrounding yourself with the right support system

A simple mindset shift that can make perimenopause feel so much easier
