Dr. Piraye Yurttas Beim Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode of Boss Ovary, we dive into the realities of midlife with entrepreneur and advocate Julie Flakstad, founder of The Midlife Truth Project. Julie shares her personal journey through perimenopause, the unexpected challenges that rocked her 40s, and how she turned a period of uncertainty into a mission to help women navigate this pivotal stage of life.

From launching the first blow-dry bar in the U.S. to leading conversations around midlife, Julie brings an entrepreneurial mindset to a space that has long been overlooked. She and host Dr. Piraye Beim explore the intersection of biology, data, and personal experience—discussing why menopause is finally getting the attention it deserves and how breaking the silence can create real change.

Join us as we talk about the real impact of hormonal shifts, the power of female friendships, and why embracing midlife with curiosity and truth is the ultimate game-changer.
