Or
Is This Normal? (A Perimenopause Anthem)
This episode is different.
No talking. No explaining. Just a song.
I wrote "Is This Normal?" because I kept hearing the same things from women. Waking up at 3am. Snapping at people they love. Forgetting words mid-sentence. Crying at commercials. Going to the doctor and being told their labs look fine. And then going home and quietly wondering if they were losing their minds.
They were not. And neither are you.
Perimenopause does not show up as one neat symptom. It can move through your brain, your sleep, your mood, your joints, your gut, your metabolism, and your heart all at the same time. That is why it feels like everything is falling apart at once. And that is why so many women spend years thinking it is just stress, or just age, or just them.
It is not just them. It is never just them.
This song is for the woman googling symptoms at 3am. For the one who sat in the bathroom and cried after snapping at her daughter. For the one who used to run meetings and now cannot find the word she was looking for. For the one whose doctor said everything looks fine and who drove home feeling more alone than when she walked in.
You are not broken. You are not too much. There is a name for what you are experiencing, and you are not alone in it.
If you want to see the full video this song was written for, including all 100 symptoms of perimenopause laid out one by one, head to YouTube at @EMBRwithKimberly. Watch it and notice what resonates. You may recognize more than you expected.
And if you want to understand what is actually happening in your body hormonally, and why it feels so random and so relentless, my free guide "Why Your Body Feels Off" is linked below. It is a calm, clear starting place.
Share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for someone we love is let them know they are not alone.
