Insomnia. Mood swings. Hair changes. Libido shifts. The random chin hair that wasn’t there yesterday. Perimenopause can feel like your body is playing a cruel joke – all while you’re managing careers, kids, partners, and aging parents. In this episode, Jenn and Dr. Michelle get real about what perimenopause actually is, why it’s unpredictable, and how you can tell if you’re in it.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• What perimenopause really means and when it starts (hint: often earlier than you think)
• Why early vs. late perimenopause symptoms can look so different
• How perimenopause impacts sleep, mood, libido, and energy
• Why tests aren’t the answer (and what doctors often miss)
• The link between perimenopause and confidence at work, relationships, and self-esteem
• Symptoms you should never ignore — and when to push for more investigation
• The role of hormone therapy, lifestyle shifts, and support in feeling like yourself again

Because yes, perimenopause is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Hormones aren’t just about hot flashes and mood swings. They’re the keys and locks that control almost everything in our bodies. But how do they actually work, and what happens when things feel “off”? In this episode, Jenn asks the questions we’re all wondering (sometimes straight from her group chat), while Dr. Michelle breaks down hormones in plain English, with analogies that actually make sense.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• What hormones really are and how they function in your body
• The menstrual cycle explained step-by-step, without the jargon
• PMS, PMDD, and why some people struggle more than others
• The myth of “balancing” your hormones vs. optimizing them
• Why your period isn’t the only marker of perimenopause or menopause
• How to track your own data to feel more empowered in your care

This is your crash course in hormones, no thousand dollar influencer program needed.

What happens when a menopause expert meets an entrepreneur with serious health challenges? You get Coven Women’s Health and now, this podcast. In our first episode, Dr. Michelle and Jenn introduce each other (with raw honesty), share the story of their “meet-cute” that turned into a business partnership, and talk about why building a new model of women’s healthcare is so necessary.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• The hamster, the basement, and the original “Michelle + Jenn jingle”
• Michelle’s expertise as one of Canada’s top menopause specialists (and why she became passionate about this work)
• Jenn’s health journey, self-advocacy, and what it’s like to be dismissed in the system
• The failures of “universal” healthcare and why so many women feel unsupported
• Why Coven Women’s Health is built on community, multidisciplinary care, and accessibility for all women
• What “Coven” really means (hint: witches, power, and a love of Hocus Pocus)
