As mothers, we are the cornerstone of our families, juggling work, parenting, relationships, and everything in between. But what happens when our bodies start to change, and we're met with fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, and other perimenopausal symptoms—while still raising the next generation?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Barton to discuss how the menopause journey impacts not just us as women but the whole family unit. We explore ways to support ourselves during this transition so that we can continue to show up as the strong, present, and thriving mums our families need.
