In this episode, co-hosts Amy Jordan and Lori Haley dive straight into a heartfelt and candid conversation about menopause, mental health, and the very real impacts these transitions have on women over 40.
From the often-misunderstood physical symptoms (hello, itchy ears and hot flashes!) to the emotional toll of feeling like you’ve “lost your mind,” Amy and Lori share their personal journeys, what’s worked, and how information, community, and taking “just one step” can be powerfully transformative. They bust the myths, share strategies for finding solutions, and open up about why it’s time for women to refuse to stay silent about what they’re going through.
If you’ve been feeling isolated, foggy, or downright unrecognizable to yourself, or simply want to be better informed and supported, this is the episode you need.
