Have you ever wondered why your energy, mood, and creativity still seem to follow a rhythm — even after menopause?

In this fun episode of the Midlife Freedom Podcast, I’m joined by Alex Coble-Frakes and Anna Sneed, founders of The Agenda Period, to explore how your natural cycle continues to influence your energy, relationships, and sense of purpose — even in midlife and beyond.

You'll find out about how your monthly and moon cycles mirror the seasons, how to live and work in tune with your body, and why understanding your hormonal rhythm can transform your confidence, relationships, and wellbeing.

✨ You’ll discover:

• How your inner seasons affect your energy and focus
• Why perimenopause brings deep clarity (and big life changes!)
• How to track your energy using the moon after your cycle stops
• Ways to release guilt, honour your rhythm, and thrive in midlife

Whether you’re perimenopausal, post-menopausal, or simply ready to reconnect with your body’s wisdom — this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new level of self-understanding.
