You are a high-performing woman in your 40s. You are showing up for everything and everyone. But something has shifted. The exhaustion that sleep does not fix. The brain fog in the meetings you used to own. The weight that will not move. The not feeling like yourself anymore. You are not imagining it. You are not falling apart. You are in perimenopause. And nobody prepared you for what that actually looks like.
Hormones and Heels is for the woman who refuses to accept that this is just how it is now. Every episode is an honest unfiltered conversation about what perimenopause is actually doing
Episode : 29 The Real Reason You Don't Want Sex Anymore in Perimenopause (It's Not What You Think)
The Real Reason You Don't Want Sex Anymore in Perimenopause (It's Not What You Think)Your sex drive didn't disappear, it got switched off. Here's how to switch it back on.
If your sex drive has vanished in perimenopause and you feel like a stranger in your own body, this one's for you. You're not broken and you're not imagining it. I break down the real reason desire fades: a nervous system stuck in survival mode and a body running on empty from months of broken sleep. When you're not sleeping, your stress stays high and your body simply can't get to the calm, safe state it needs for desire to come back. "Trying harder" was never the answer getting your sleep back is where it starts. If the guilt, the distance from your partner, and the fear that "this is just how it is now" sound familiar, come listen. This part of you isn't gone. It's waiting for room to come back.

Episode 28: Why You Can't Fall Asleep AND Can't Stay Asleep in Perimenopause
How Perimenopause Affects Your Relationship Snapping, Distance, and What Actually HelpsĀ I talk all the time about how not sleeping affects you. Today I want to talk about how it affects the person next to you. Perimenopause is not just happening to you, it is happening to your relationship.Ā The distance that has crept in because you are too exhausted to connect.
The snapping that has your partner walking on eggshells. The disconnection that leaves you living alongside each other instead of with each other. In this episode I name what perimenopause is quietly costing your relationship, why it is not your fault or your partnerās, and what I have seen about how much faster women move through this when they have a supportive partner in their corner.
And the real fix getting you back to yourself. Because when your sleep and your energy come back, so does the patience, the presence, and the connection. You cannot pour into your relationship from an empty tank. So we fill the tank.
