In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience navigating perimenopause and the things I wish someone had told me sooner.

If you’ve been feeling more tired than usual, struggling with sleep, noticing changes in your mood, or wondering why your workouts are not working the way they used to, this conversation is for you.

We’re talking about what perimenopause actually is, the symptoms that often get overlooked, and how hormonal changes impact everything from your energy and metabolism to your relationships and confidence.

I also open up about my perspective on hormone replacement therapy, how I’ve adjusted my approach to fitness and recovery, and why this phase of life requires a different kind of support, not more pressure.

We’ll also touch on an important but often overlooked reality: Black women often experience perimenopause differently, with more intense symptoms and less access to supportive care, and why advocacy and education matter now more than ever.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What is happening to me?” I want this episode to remind you that you’re not broken. Your body is changing, and with the right support, you can move through this phase feeling strong, informed, and empowered.
