Welcome back, ladies 💕

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into The We Do Not Care Club — a conversation about one of the hardest (and least talked about) parts of the perimenopause-to-menopause transition: that “I don’t feel like myself anymore” feeling.

We unpack the viral social media trend that inspired this topic and explore what’s really behind the emotional numbness, loss of spark, and overwhelm so many women feel in midlife. From caring for aging parents to supporting grown kids and managing careers, it’s no wonder joy feels hard to find.

We’re breaking down:
 ✨ How hormonal shifts impact your mood and motivation
 🌿 Why basic “self-care” isn’t always enough
 💬 How to reevaluate your priorities and relationships
 💪 Practical strategies for rediscovering joy, balance, and YOU again

Join us for real talk, laughter, and expert insight — because menopause isn’t the end of your spark, it’s the start of rediscovering it.
