This special episode peels back the curtain on a chapter of life that impacts every woman but still too often gets ignored or misunderstood. Menopause advocate Jesse Schewchuk joins us (2:50) to talk about the raw, real, and often isolating experience of perimenopause and menopause—and why breaking the silence could be life-changing. This conversation is about more than hot flashes and hormone shifts—it’s about dignity, identity, and the right to be heard. If you love someone going through it, or you're in it yourself, this one’s for you.
