info_outlineDid you hit 40 and suddenly feel like your body threw you a curveball just when you thought you had things under control?
Welcome to the mysterious, sometimes maddening world of menopause! It’s not just talking hot flashes and mood swings here, magic makers. I’m talking all the random symptoms like dry eyes, hair thinning, and – yep – even changes in body odor! It’s like, wait... no one warned us about this part of womanhood!
Let's be real: we got the lowdown on puberty, periods, and all the “fun” stuff that comes with it, but nobody sat us down to talk about what happens on the other side of fertility (a.k.a., menopause). That’s why this season of life feels SO misunderstood.
When I entered perimenopause, I didn’t have a clue what the heck was happening to me! My periods were unpredictable, hot flashes made me feel like I’d just finished a SoulCycle class, and the dreaded brain fog? Let’s just say, 4 PM has never felt fuzzier. Sound familiar?
Don’t stress; I’ve got you covered. This episode is your guide to demystifying menopause. I’m sharing powerful insights and practical tips for managing all the random (and infuriating) symptoms.
From mobility work and recovery routines to nutrition hacks, this episode will help you navigate this season with strength, self-compassion, and a whole lot of grace.
