Episode 56 - Running on Empty? Energy and Menopause

In this powerful and validating episode, we dive into one of the most common (and overlooked) struggles women face during perimenopause and menopause: chronic fatigue and low energy.

If you're constantly asking yourself, "Why am I so tired even when I’m doing all the right things?"—this episode is for you.

We explore:

• How the loss of progesterone and estrogen disrupts sleep and stress regulation
• Why managing cortisol becomes harder in midlife
• The emotional and mental toll of the midlife mental load—caregiving, working, managing symptoms, and the pressure to “keep it all together”
• How joint pain, poor sleep, mood swings, and societal pressure steal your motivation and joy
• The band-aid solutions we turn to (coffee, wine, sugar, sleeping in) and why they backfire
• Practical, soul-centered solutions to start reclaiming your energy—today

From mindset shifts to hydration tips, nutrition basics, and why walking counts just as much as workouts, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, reset, and give your body what it truly needs.

Plus, I share a personal invitation to our upcoming ‘Flip Flops & Hot Flashes’ retreat in Costa Rica—where women come to rest, reconnect, and rise into their next chapter. Only a few spots left!
