Beschrijving

Perimenopause doesn't just affect the woman going through it — it affects the whole household. In this episode, Megan and Charlotte talk openly about how hormonal shifts can drive anxiety, rage, brain fog, and emotional overwhelm, and what that really looks like inside a relationship. They share personal strategies for communication, managing the mental load, and reframing intimacy during this transition. They also dig into why anxiety can appear out of nowhere during perimenopause, how poor sleep makes everything worse, and why reaching for support — whether that's therapy, hormone therapy, medication, or mindfulness — is never a sign of failure. A honest, relatable conversation for women and their partners navigating this phase together.
