Insomnia. Mood swings. Hair changes. Libido shifts. The random chin hair that wasn’t there yesterday. Perimenopause can feel like your body is playing a cruel joke – all while you’re managing careers, kids, partners, and aging parents. In this episode, Jenn and Dr. Michelle get real about what perimenopause actually is, why it’s unpredictable, and how you can tell if you’re in it.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• What perimenopause really means and when it starts (hint: often earlier than you think)
• Why early vs. late perimenopause symptoms can look so different
• How perimenopause impacts sleep, mood, libido, and energy
• Why tests aren’t the answer (and what doctors often miss)
• The link between perimenopause and confidence at work, relationships, and self-esteem
• Symptoms you should never ignore — and when to push for more investigation
• The role of hormone therapy, lifestyle shifts, and support in feeling like yourself again

Because yes, perimenopause is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone.
