Descripción

In this episode we ask: are we being  empowered or exploited? Let's talk about some well-marketed solutions: do they really work? Is it PR team behind them, or peer-reviewed evidence? The Sisterhood shares lived experiences, and The Oracle gives practical, expert-backed scripts to help you advocate for your health.Add your perspective to the collective: https://forms.gle/RTt8CT31GEwUJ6LbA

E8: HRT Side Effects - What's Normal, What's Not and Why Pellets Might Be Too Much, Too Soon

Thinking about starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in perimenopause — or already deep in the boob pain and mood swings? You’re not alone. In this episode, we get real about early HRT side effects, especially for women under 40 navigating early perimenopause (yes, it’s a thing!). From sudden breast tenderness to emotional whiplash, vaginal “over-lubrication” (yep), and unexpected rage, we’re breaking down what’s totally normal... and what’s a sign to pivot your protocol. We also unpack the go-to HRT combos that seem to work best for many Gen X and millennial women — like estradiol gel + oral progesterone + local vaginal estrogen — and why pellets might be a risky place to start. Spoiler: once they’re in, you can’t tweak the dose. Whether you're just starting HRT, considering quitting, or simply curious if you're the only one who woke up in a not-so-sexy puddle — this one’s for you. Join the sisterhood, laugh through the weird, and find the facts you deserve. Add your perspective to the collective: https://forms.gle/RTt8CT31GEwUJ6LbA

E7: Breaking the Silence, Building a Movement (Perimenopause Awareness Month)

September marks a turning point. For the first time, twelve U.S. states have officially declared it Perimenopause Awareness Month—and that’s no small thing. In this episode, we unpack how this growing national campaign is reshaping the conversation around perimenopause, breaking taboos, and creating space for visibility, education, and community. From policy proclamations to Perry Parties and “Perimenopause ROAR” events, we explore how awareness builds bridges—to care, to community, and to each other. You’ll hear from the Sisterhood and the Oracle, alongside perspectives from OB/GYNs, psychiatrists, and policy advocates on what this month really means for your health, your voice, and your future. What you’ll learn: * Why perimenopause awareness matters—and what it unlocks * How campaigns like #MyPeriStory and Perry Parties build connection * What resources, tools, and events are available right now * How you can host your own event and become part of the movement * Why this isn’t just a one-off—it’s the beginning of lasting change 🎧 Whether you’re navigating perimenopause now or preparing for what’s next, this episode is your invitation to join the rising chorus. We’re not whispering anymore. We’re ROARING. Add your perspective to the collective: https://forms.gle/RTt8CT31GEwUJ6LbA
