In this episode, Roberta explores how the small, unnecessary pressures we carry every day—matching socks, tidy houses, perfect routines—quietly overload our stress bucket, especially during perimenopause when hormonal changes reduce resilience.

Through a personal story involving her now-famous odd socks, Roberta illustrates how letting go of perfectionism and unnecessary decisions can create vital space for energy, health, joy, and the things that truly matter.

You’ll learn:

• Why your “stress bucket” overflows more easily during perimenopause
• How invisible loads—like comparisons, guilt, and micro-decisions—erode resilience
• Practical ways to remove unnecessary stressors from your day
• Simple changes that make room for movement, rest, and the things that support your health
• Why reducing small stresses makes it easier to manage symptoms and feel more yourself again

If your stress bucket feels permanently full, there is another way.

Support Mentioned in This Episode:
