Perimenopause: Stop the Spiral—Start Feeling Like You

Listen Later

Feeling “off” and can’t explain it? That’s not “just you”—it’s perimenopause doing the most.


In this fast, no-fluff conversation, host Lisa Urbanski sits down with Helen Stearns, DNP to decode the hormone rollercoaster—what’s normal, what’s not, and how to protect your energy, relationships, and confidence along the way. Hook: If you’ve been blaming willpower, start here—get the science, the strategies, and your sanity back.

What you’ll learn (quick hits):

  • Why fluctuating estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can hijack mood, sleep, libido, and focus
  • The real talk on hormone tests (helpful? limited? when to use them)
  • Brain fog, weight shifts, and energy dips—not character flaws, here’s why
  • Relationship reality checks: desire, comfort, communication, and support
  • Low-lift lifestyle upgrades (sleep, stress, movement, food) that actually help
  • Self-awareness, boundaries, and finding a women’s tribe you can lean on
