Perimenopause — A personal journey

Hi lovelies,

This episode, Kirsten and I discuss our personal journeys with Perimenopause. If you’re in this phase, or know someone who is, it’s a must-listen. You won’t find a more honest accounting.

We get into what is working for us—and what isn’t! What hormones we’re taking. What supplements. What workouts. It’s a lot of detail. And there’s an enormous list of everything with links at the bottom of this email that’s worth its weight in gold. *

It's fun, it’s honest, and we don’t gloss over what can be a challenging and isolating time for many.

We believe the more you know, the better you can advocate for yourself.

Enjoy!
