If you’re a woman over 35 feeling tired, foggy, irritated, anxious, or just “off,” this is the episode that finally explains why. Perimenopause hits long before menopause, and most women have no idea what’s happening inside their bodies.

In this episode, I break down perimenopause in plain English. No medical jargon. No confusing hormone talk. Just real explanations of what’s happening with your estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone and why your symptoms feel so intense.

You’ll learn the real signs of perimenopause, why your labs might look “normal,” and simple ways to start supporting your hormones so you can feel like yourself again.

What we cover: • Early symptoms women miss • Hormone shifts that affect mood, sleep, weight, and energy • Why 2 AM wake-ups are so common • What brain fog really means • How to support your body naturally in this stage

Most women don’t even realize they’re in perimenopause. Not because they’re clueless, but because the symptoms look like everyday life. Brain fog. Sleepless nights. Anxiety. Joint pain. Weight shifting to your midsection even while doing everything “right.”

Something shifts in me every fall — it’s like my soul wakes up. I’m not talking about pumpkin spice or Halloween. I’m talking about the season that changed everything for me. When I was broke, a single mom, and determined to give my son a Christmas we’d both remember… I made one decision that completely rerouted my life.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how “separation season” became my favorite time of year — the time I plant seeds, show up when others slow down, and watch the harvest unfold months later. Whether you’re building a business, working on your health, or rebuilding your faith, this is your reminder that what you sow now determines the harvest later.

Tune in for a real, faith-filled talk about discipline, momentum, and trusting God in the planting season.
