In this episode of Transitional Objects, Laura and Bridget explore the ever-daunting, rarely spoken about perimenopause. Through recounting their sleep (or lack of sleep) habits, they talk about the complexities of hormonal health as women. They discuss how a few drinks used to mean a good night, but now all they want is a good night's sleep. 

They candidly (and with a few laughs) share their personal experiences with mood fluctuations and the reality of migraines -- the kind that you think are a brain tumor because you're only 40 and perimenopause isn't even on your radar.  Together, they reflect on societal misconceptions about aging women and what it feels like to get older.

Laura opens up about her intense journey through IVF and the emotional toll it took. With a love and honesty that only two best friend's can have, they tackle the often-taboo topics of miscarriages and identity shifts. They ask themselves the big questions and the smaller ones like "would we get hit on if we went back to the same bars we did in our 20s?".
