So many women are moving through life feeling exhausted, foggy, disconnected from themselves, or unlike who they used to be, while continuing to push forward and perform at a high level.

In this important conversation, Jen is joined by Nurse Practitioner and women’s hormone health expert Olenka Lyle to explore the hormonal shifts affecting women physically, mentally, and emotionally, especially during perimenopause. 

Together, they unpack the rise in brain fog, burnout, and the pressure many women feel to keep functioning normally while their bodies are asking for support. This episode offers a grounded and empowering perspective on hormone health, helping women better understand what is happening in their bodies and why these conversations matter more than ever.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why so many women are experiencing brain fog, exhaustion, and perimenopausal symptoms without realizing what is happening
• The connection between hormones, stress, nervous system health, and emotional wellbeing
• Why high achieving women are especially vulnerable to pushing past what their bodies need
• The importance of advocating for yourself and paying attention to changes in your body
• How supporting your hormones can help you reconnect with yourself again
