Hot Flashes, Mood Swings, and the Midlife Meltdown: It’s Not Your Fault

Think you’re losing your mind because you’re sweating through meetings, snapping at everyone in your house, and crying over absolutely nothing?
You’re not crazy — you’re in perimenopause.

This week we’re ditching the shame, confusion, and old-school BS about “the change” and breaking down what’s really happening inside your body.
From hot flashes that hit out of nowhere to mood swings that make you feel like twelve different people in a single day, I’m helping you understand what’s going on — and how to take back control without losing your damn mind.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

• Decode what’s actually happening during perimenopause (and why your hormones feel like a chaotic group chat you can’t mute)
• Understand the science behind hot flashes — plus how to track and tame your triggers
• Handle mood swings without burning your life to the ground
• Recognize why fatigue isn’t laziness — it’s biology — and how to fix it
• Make the mindset shift that turns perimenopause from meltdown to midlife power-up

This isn’t about surviving midlife — it’s about mastering it.
Your body isn’t broken. It’s evolving.
Once you know what it’s trying to tell you, you can finally stop fighting it — and start working with it.

Your Midlife Action Step

For the next week, track your symptoms:
When do the hot flashes hit? What triggers your mood swings? How does your energy rise and fall?

Then use what you discover to build your own Personal Wellness Plan — small, intentional tweaks that help you feel more like you again.

Because midlife isn’t your crisis.
It’s your comeback story.
