Lets be real - stress isn't something we can avoid, but how we respond to it can make or break our menopause journey.

When I hit perimenopause at 40, anxiety and overthinking became part of my daily life. I didn't recognise it at the time, but my nervous system was in overdrive. Once I learned how to manage my stress more effectively - through nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and self awareness, everything started to feel lighter and more manageable.

In this episode, I'll share: • How stress hormones like cortisol affect your weight, sleep, and mood in midlife • Why perimenopause makes your nervous system more sensitive to stress • Practical, realistic ways to bring calm back into your day, even when life is busy

✨ Fab Female Gem: you don't need to eliminate stress, instead focus on adding in small, calming practices that change how your body responds to it.
