Rooted in real life and led with heart, this podcast is a space for women, moms, and caregivers seeking gentler ways to live, lead, and care for themselves and their families. This is conversation over content. Presence over promotion..

The Conversation Women Should Have 10 Years Earlier Than They Do
What if the conversation about perimenopause started 10 years earlier?
In this episode of From The Goat Up, Karen sits down with board-certified physician Dr. Molly Ann McBride to unpack the hormonal transition so many women are never taught about—until they’re already in it.
From unexplained symptoms and “normal” labs that don’t feel normal, to skin changes, shifting hormones, and the overwhelm of wellness marketing, this episode gives women the language, clarity, and validation they’ve been missing.
We cover:
The real difference between perimenopause and menopause
Why symptoms can feel random, inconsistent, and easy to miss
The most commonly overlooked signs women experience
Why so many women feel dismissed in medical settings—and how to advocate for yourself
What actually helps (and what’s just clever marketing)
Where GLP-1 medications may or may not fit into midlife health
What every woman deserves to know by age 40
Karen also shares her personal experience navigating early symptoms—and the reassurance every woman needs to hear: Your body isn’t failing. You just weren’t taught this.
🎧 Listen, share with a friend, and help normalize this conversation before women are left confused and searching for answers.
