Soul-u-tions

In this episode, we're joined by a special guest - my son, Brennan Simkins! Brennan is a college student and entrepreneur. Brennan shares his story of the creation of "All Natural BS," a natural bug spray made from essential oils and water. He got this business idea during a sleepless summer night, and with the support of family, turned it into a successful venture.

In this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I’m joined by Tara Simkins, a life coach who helps people get through tough times to create meaningful lives. Our aim is to better understand perimenopause/menopause, especially how it affects our lives and naturally, our relationships.

But before we dive in, I want you to know you do not need to be going through menopause for everything we talk about today to apply to you! 

This episode will prepare you to be confident if/when you enter that chapter of your life, or whether you just use one of the takeaways right now to help you with whatever’s feeling challenging in your relationship.

Just for clarity, perimenopause is a physiological and psychological shift in a woman’s experience as they go towards menopause that can start as early as your late thirties. And on a societal level, almost NO ONE is talking about it and how it affects our lives and relationships.

We’re changing that today!

Join us for this episode to hear more about:

• Why women may feel shame around personal health 
• The stress perimenopause can put on relationships
• How to understand what your needs are and communicate them to your partner
• The importance of talking and learning more about perimenopause
