In Episode 2 of the Snacks and Good Company Perimenopause & Menopause series, Sherri Lynn is joined by Dr. Carol Tanksley — OB-GYN, reproductive endocrinologist, and Doctor of Ministry — for a grounding, hope-filled conversation about what is actually happening in our bodies, minds, and spirits during midlife. Dr. Carol reframes this season not as a breakdown, but as an invitation to care for ourselves, face our limits, and grow in wisdom, freedom, and faith.

Quotes:

"We are integrated, whole human beings — body, mind, and spirit baked together."

"It's not just hormone levels — it's the changing levels that affect everything."

"Your body, mind, and soul all sense these changes — and they're trying to adapt."

"This season forces us to face our limits — and that can actually be a gift."

"No is a complete sentence."

"God is not angry with you. He made you this way."

"What the enemy meant for harm, God can use for good — even here."

In this first episode of the Snacks and Good Company Perimenopause & Menopause series, Sherri Lynn sits down with radio host and friend Erica Parkerson for a raw, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation about "second puberty," hot flashes, brain fog, hysterectomies, and faith. Together, they name what so many women feel but rarely say out loud, especially in church spaces. If you've ever wondered, "Am I crazy?" this episode gently answers: No, and you're not alone.

Quotes:

We're sitting in church pretending it's the Holy Ghost and not hot flashes."

"No one told me what was happening to my body — and I was terrified."

"I didn't lose my faith — I had to learn what I actually knew about God."

"We blaze the hot-flash trail so other women don't have to suffer in silence."

From hormones and hot flashes to identity, rest, and trusting God with your body, this season tackles hard things in an easy way… with snacks!

We laugh.

We cry.

We eat snacks.

We laugh again.

God is a God of laughter and joy. That is why when we first talked about doing a LIVE women's event we wanted to focus on delight, laughter, and JOY! That's what we did.

Please say it isn't so! It is the last episode of this series. This episode has a big surprise so make sure you listen so you don't miss it. After pulling an all nighter to overcome a hard drive crash, Sherri got it done with special guest Lisa Anderson from Focus on the Family. First, the series takes an unexpected turn into caregiving...What if you don't have kids? Are kids an insurance policy? Answers to that question along with why the grass isn't always greener on the other side, what a 'friendlationship' is and why you are not Julia Roberts.

Disclaimer: Friend, this is not the episode to listen to with young ones around. Put in those earbuds! As Sherri explains, singleness is a continuum. There isn't just one type of singleness. You might be a single mom, or maybe you've never dated, or perhaps you were married and now are a widow. Each set of circumstances is different. This episode is a little dose of reality, not meant to kill the fairy tale, but meant to be a reminder that if you are single, seeking marriage isn't the cure because singleness isn't a sickness. It's time to own contentment because desperation can lead you down a path that will make you say yes when you should say no. What is the gift of singleness? How do we handle the conversation about celibacy? Let's go to scripture and see what it says! Keep those earbuds in and let's go!

First, you'll love how Sherri found her. Then you'll spend the whole episode nodding your head and laughing along as these ladies break down what is really means to be single, how the church can do better in this area and how if you are single you are valuable, seen, and loved as you are! God has purpose where you are in your journey! Co-Host: Angelique Struthers Show Notes: https://bit.ly/46MTpOW

Whether single or married one thing is really important to know…your relationship status does not define you. Is marriage the actual antidote for loneliness? Don't miss the continuum of contentment and how to handle a mousetrap in the middle of a zoom call. How does God call those who are single? Why is there so much guilt and shame associated? You'll love this conversation with Lisa Anderson from Focus on the Family. Wisdom for all as we navigate this important topic in a way that is encouraging and hope-filled.
