What do hot flashes, mood swings, and TikTok have in common? Welcome to “cougar puberty”—the hilarious and honest new way women are talking about perimenopause.

In this episode, we explore how comedian Kristina Kuzmic and a wave of creators are reframing this major hormonal transition with wit, wisdom, and viral power.

We break down why this rebrand resonates, how it’s helping women feel seen and supported, and what it means for future conversations around hormonal health. From brain fog to belly fat, we cover the real symptoms—and the cultural shift that's finally making it okay to talk about them.

It’s part comedy, part community, and all about reclaiming midlife with pride.
