Episode Title:

The 10-Year Perimenopause Gaslight: Why Exhausted Women Are Being Misdiagnosed

Episode Description:

In this bold, truth-telling episode of Flourish Unfiltered: Ending Exhaustion for Working Moms, Misty Creaghe exposes one of the most common lies women are told — that exhaustion, mood swings, and low libido in your 30s or early 40s mean “you’re in perimenopause.”

But the truth? Most women in their 30s and even early 40s aren’t in hormonal decline — they’re in metabolic depletion. Misty breaks down how chronic stress, cortisol overload, blood sugar swings, and nutrient depletion can mimic perimenopause and why accepting this misdiagnosis can rob women of a decade of energy, confidence, and clarity.

You’ll learn:

🔥 What true perimenopause actually is — and when it begins

⚡ The real culprits behind “fake perimenopause” symptoms like fatigue, irritability, and anxiety

🧠 How chronic stress tricks your hormones and steals your energy

💬 Why so many women are dismissed instead of helped — and how to start investigating what’s really going on in your body

If you’ve ever been told “it’s just perimenopause,” this episode will help you see your symptoms through a new lens — one that leads to healing, not hopelessness.

✨ Flourish Step:

Ask yourself: Is this decline, or depletion?

Reflect on when your exhaustion truly started, what was happening in your life, and how you’ve been surviving instead of replenishing. Your body holds the truth that your labs and labels often miss.
