The Maybe Years: Menopause, Marriage & Midlife Truths


Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with Jennie for an honest, funny and deeply human conversation about perimenopause, menopause and the midlife decisions no one prepares you for.

Jennie shares how her journey began with mood swings, hot flashes and brain fog in her 40s - and how those symptoms slowly unravelled parts of her life she thought were set in stone. From medical treatments that didn’t help, to the hormonal shifts that affected her hearing and vision, to the moment she realised she no longer wanted to stay in her marriage, Jennie talks openly about what she calls her ‘maybe years’.

Together, we explore the conditioning women inherit around marriage, career and ‘sticking it out’, and how midlife can become a powerful turning point for choosing authenticity over expectation. Now a divorce coach, Jennie helps other women navigate these crossroads with clarity and compassion.

This is a conversation about hormones, identity, relationships - and the freedom that comes when you finally choose yourself.
