Ep 168 - Perimenopause Starter Pack

In this very first episode of the Perimenopause Starter Pack, I’m laying the foundation for your midlife journey with clarity and confidence.

If you’ve been wondering what perimenopause really is and how to know if you’re in it — this episode is for you. I’ll explain the hormonal rollercoaster of oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, why symptoms show up so differently for every woman, and why this transition can last 4–10 years.

You’ll also discover:

• The most common early signs of perimenopause

• Why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed by doctors

• How to cut through confusion and see the bigger picture of your health

• Why midlife can be a time for reinvention, resilience, and growth

This is Episode 1 of an 8-part crash course designed to stop you chasing symptoms and instead give you the tools, strategies, and support you need. Each episode is just 15 minutes — perfect for a walk, commute, or tea break.
