In today's episode of Joyful Love, I talk with Dr. Carla Atkinson about perimenopause. There's a lot of discussion about this time of life for women right now ... and it's about time! We live in an era of awakening around women's health, and we are lucky to have providers like Dr. Carla who stay up to date with the latest and best care for their clients.
However, there are still many providers who don't know how to help women with midlife shifts. This is why we must learn to take charge of our own health and understand our bodies well enough to ask for the care we deserve.
If you're a mother still raising children, you may need extra support to navigate your self-care while parenting! Dr. Carla Atkinson addresses this as well. Tune into episode 111 to learn more and be inspired to view this time of life with grace and strength!
