Anxiety in perimenopause isn’t “just in your head.”

It’s a biological and emotional shift that can make even the calmest women feel overwhelmed, restless, or on edge.

In this episode, Dr Golda Parker — double board-certified medical doctor and menopause specialist — sits down with mental-health practitioner @hopewithbeth to unpack why anxiety can surge in midlife and, more importantly, how to calm your mind and body again.

You’ll learn:

• 💭 How fluctuating hormones affect neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin
• 🧠 The link between cortisol, sleep, and the “3 a.m. worry cycle”
• 🗣️ How to find your voice and speak up for yourself when anxiety makes you shrink
• ⚖️ Simple tools to reset your nervous system and get unstuck

This isn’t just a chat — it’s a roadmap to understanding your body and reclaiming calm, confidence, and clarity.
