ATTENTION PERIMENOPAUSAL LADIES!  In this episode, we’re stepping into the ring—because let’s be real, midlife hormone shifts? They don’t play fair.

I’m breaking this one down into three intense rounds of unexpected symptoms that hit like a punch to the gut (sometimes literally):

🥊 Round One: Fatigue & Energy Crashes

• Why I suddenly feel like crying at 4 p.m.
• What I’ve changed in my workouts (RIP burpee vomit sessions)
• How water, electrolytes, and rest are becoming my secret weapons

🥊 Round Two: Mood Swings & Anxiety

• My recent journey with antidepressants (and why I switched paths)
• Daily habits that bring peace: prayer, journaling, and movement
• How I'm using nutrition and connection to support my mental health

🥊 Round Three: Nutrition Tweaks That Actually Work

• Upping protein and fiber without losing my mind
• Ditching the sugar (kind of…) and embracing homemade snacks
• Why fasting has been a spiritual and physical game-changer for me

And in the final few minutes, I’m sharing what I want every woman to know during this wild transition:
✨ You are NOT alone
✨ Small changes = big wins
✨ We don’t have to suffer through—we can fight smarter, not harder

Whether you’re deep in this season or just starting to feel the shift, this one’s for you.
