Welcome to Season Two of Grown Up Girl Talk! I'm so glad you're here. After a little pause to redefine what this space means, we're diving straight into the conversations we don't have nearly enough—how to actually feel alive, resilient, and lit up in the messy middle of life.

In this kickoff episode, I'm unpacking:

1. Why so many of us feel less resilient in our late 30s, 40s, and 50s

2. The real connection between hormones, stress, and that "I can't handle it like I used to" feeling

3. The three key components of resilience (and how to start building them today)

4. Simple daily shifts that rewire your brain to handle stress and help you bounce back

5. The difference between bouncing back and normalizing—and why it matters for your health and happiness

I share patient stories, research on psychological resilience in perimenopause, and practical ways to move beyond the cycle of "I know what I should do, I just need to do it." This isn't about hustling harder—it's about creating a life that feels aligned, coherent, and nourishing.
