(Part 3 of our 4-Part Series: Scrolling Ourselves Sick)

We’ve been taught our whole lives that smaller equals better. But what if midlife is about expanding — in strength, wisdom, and confidence — not shrinking?

In this third episode of our 4-part series “Scrolling Ourselves Sick,” we’re getting real about how the number on the scale has been tied to our worth for far too long — and how to finally break that cycle.

We’re unpacking:
⚖️ How our mood and self-worth got tangled up with the scale💭 The toxic beauty ideals we grew up with (and still see online)💪 What “healthy” really means in midlife — beyond the mirror💗 How to show yourself grace on the days you feel like sh*t

Your worth has nothing to do with your weight. Full stop.
🎧 Tune in for a raw, funny, and empowering conversation that’ll make you rethink what feeling good actually means.

(Part 2 of our 4-Part Series: Scrolling Ourselves Sick)

Everywhere you scroll, someone’s talking about microdosing GLP-1s as the magic “fix” for midlife weight gain. But is it actually empowerment…or just another form of pressure in disguise?

In Part 2 of “Scrolling Ourselves Sick,” we’re calling out the unhealthy obsession social media has created around GLP-1s, peptide microdosing and the toxic message it’s sending to women in perimenopause.

We’re unpacking: 💉 Why this trend exploded — and who it’s really serving 🤯 The difference between health and obsession 💬 The danger of equating “skinny” with “wellness”

If you’ve ever felt tempted by a “quick fix” because the internet told you to, hit play. This conversation is about choosing self-respect over shortcuts.

One minute you’re fine.
The next, you’re crying over a rescued dog video or ready to throat-punch someone for chewing too loud.
Welcome to the emotional chaos of menopause - where hormones tank, patience disappears, and your tear ducts get a mind of their own.
In this episode, we’re getting real about the mental + emotional side of perimenopause and menopause - the rage, the tears, the apathy, and the shame that comes with feeling like you’ve lost control of your emotions.
We’ll talk about why it’s happening (hint: it’s not just you, it’s your hormones), share a few of our own unfiltered moments, and remind you of one important truth:
You’re not crazy - you’re just hormonal. And there’s power in knowing that.

It’s Menopause Awareness Month 🎉 — and in true perimenopause fashion, we totally forgot about Perimenopause Awareness Month last week because… peri brain. 🙃

But here’s the thing: this isn’t just another “awareness day” we can scroll past. This matters. Because for far too long, menopause and perimenopause have been whispered about, ignored, and brushed off — leaving women to struggle in silence.

In this episode of Midlife + Menopause Unfiltered, we’re talking about:
💬 Why menopause awareness months are a big deal🔥 How silence keeps women suffering — and why we need to speak up🤯 How symptoms like “peri brain” are real and deserve to be recognized👯‍♀️ Why no one should have to navigate this season alone

This is your reminder: awareness = power. The more we talk, share, and show up for each other, the more we change the narrative around menopause.

When it comes to perimenopause and midlife, the world loves to tell women they need a prescription, a quick fix, or to just “tough it out.” But here’s the truth: choosing natural ways to support your body isn’t weak — it’s powerful AF.

🌿 Natural tools we’ve leaned on to feel like ourselves again
🔥 Why “natural” doesn’t mean “less than” — it means being in the driver’s seat
💬 Our no-filter stories about what’s worked (and what hasn’t)
🙌 Why the strongest move you can make is trusting your own damn body

This isn’t about labels, judgment, or quick fixes. It’s about finding the power in your choices, standing your ground, and reminding yourself: you’re not broken — you’re badass.

💥 Walking away from jobs, roles, and expectations that no longer served us
🙃 The identity crisis that comes with letting go of the “old version” of yourself
🔥 The freedom that comes with not caring what others think in midlife
✨ Why reinvention in your 40s isn’t just possible — it’s powerful as hell

If you’ve been hearing that little voice whisper, “This isn’t it… I’m meant for more” — this one’s for you.

🔥 The hormone-fueled RAGE that comes out of nowhere (and usually scares everyone, including us)💋 What happens in the bedroom when desire goes MIA😵‍💫 The midlife identity crisis no one warned us about🙃 Why these symptoms can make you feel broken — and why you’re absolutely not

It’s raw. It’s messy. It’s laugh-so-you-don’t-cry honesty about the sh*t nobody prepared us for.

So if you’ve ever thought, “Why am I so angry, disconnected, or lost?” — this episode is your reminder: you’re not crazy. You’re just in perimenopause. And we’re right there with you.
