The Unfiltered Truth About Perimenopause: Rage, Relationships, and Radical Self-Love

.

In this powerful, hilarious, and deeply honest roundtable, four women from across the world come together to talk about the realities of perimenopause: the messy, mystical, rage-filled, liberating, identity-shifting portal no one prepared us for.

.

This episode is equal parts comedy, confession, and collective healing.

.

They share their personal experiences, solutions they found helpful, and debunk some myths around hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Each woman brings a unique perspective, from dealing with unexpected early menopause due to external factors like vaccines to navigating the emotional shifts and relationship dynamics that perimenopause brings. They also discuss the shadow aspects of this phase, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries, practicing self-love, and the cultural nuances that affect how menopause is treated. Finally, they offer invaluable advice for younger women on preparing for this life stage, highlighting the significance of exercise, diet, and maintaining a positive self-image.
