Welcome to the emotional chaos of menopause - where hormones tank, patience disappears, and your tear ducts get a mind of their own.
In this episode, we’re getting real about the mental + emotional side of perimenopause and menopause - the rage, the tears, the apathy, and the shame that comes with feeling like you’ve lost control of your emotions.
We’ll talk about why it’s happening (hint: it’s not just you, it’s your hormones), share a few of our own unfiltered moments, and remind you of one important truth:
You’re not crazy - you’re just hormonal. And there’s power in knowing that.

It’s Menopause Awareness Month 🎉 — and in true perimenopause fashion, we totally forgot about Perimenopause Awareness Month last week because… peri brain. 🙃
But here’s the thing: this isn’t just another “awareness day” we can scroll past. This matters. Because for far too long, menopause and perimenopause have been whispered about, ignored, and brushed off — leaving women to struggle in silence.
In this episode of Midlife + Menopause Unfiltered, we’re talking about:
💬 Why menopause awareness months are a big deal🔥 How silence keeps women suffering — and why we need to speak up🤯 How symptoms like “peri brain” are real and deserve to be recognized👯♀️ Why no one should have to navigate this season alone
This is your reminder: awareness = power. The more we talk, share, and show up for each other, the more we change the narrative around menopause.
