Perimenopause – The Unexpected Midlife Storm of Isolation
In this powerful episode, our very own podcast producer Kellie courageously opens up about her raw and often silent journey through perimenopause — an experience many women endure in isolation.
It was such a special and meaningful experience to have Kellie, who works so closely behind the scenes of this show, step forward to share her personal story with such honesty and grace.
Kellie speaks to the deep grief and sense of loss that accompanied this transition — when your mind and body begin to change and the profound feelings of isolation, loss of identity, energy, and emotional balance. She describes the confusion that at times made her feel like she was “going crazy.”
Through her vulnerability, Kellie shines a light on the unspoken struggles of perimenopause — that unsettling sense of something’s changed in my body, but I don’t know what — and reminds listeners that they’re not alone.
Join us as we explore the intersections of grief, womanhood, and transformation and how, even in the most chaotic transitions, there can be healing, meaning, and connection.
