This episode opens the door to a conversation so many women have been craving: the mental and emotional side of perimenopause — the part no one prepared us for.
If you’ve been waking up at 3am, feeling overstimulated, forgetting words mid-sentence, wondering why you don’t quite feel like yourself anymore — this episode is going to feel like a deep breath.
I’m joined by therapist and author Lauren Tetenbaum, whose new book Millennial Menopause is helping women understand what’s happening in their minds and bodies during this transition. Together we unpack not just the physical symptoms we were never taught about — but the emotional toll that comes with it and how important it is for women to pay attention to their mental health at this time of life.
We also talk about why so many women feel dismissed by doctors, what real support should look like, and how to advocate for yourself during this chapter of life.
It’s validating, eye-opening, and incredibly grounding.
It’s an episode you don’t want to miss.
