Episode 25-From Hot Flashes to Headspace: Understanding Menopause and Mental Wellness
Description
Welcome to part one of our two-part Nearly Normal Podcast series on menopause. In this episode, we dive deep into the real experiences of perimenopause and menopause, breaking down the mental, emotional, and physical changes that women face during this transition. From hormonal shifts that affect mood and energy to the emotional toll of brain fog, anxiety, and sleep changes, we’re talking about it all—with honesty, humor, and compassion.
As two seasoned therapists, we explore how menopause impacts mental health and overall wellbeing, while also sharing practical coping strategies, self-care tools, and mindset shifts that can help women feel supported and empowered through the process.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your symptoms are “normal,” or you want to better understand how menopause affects the mind, body, and emotions, this episode is for you.
