In this powerful episode of The She Shows Up Podcast, Andrea B. Flintroy opens up about her own journey into perimenopause and the conversation with her grandmother that changed everything. From unexpected night sweats and brain fog to mood swings, anxiety, and identity shifts, Andrea explores the realities so many women experience but few openly discuss.

Joining the conversation is Dr. Shakeeka Fisher, Nurse Practitioner, founder of Perimenopause Practitioner and Thryva Wellness, and a passionate advocate for women's health. Together, they unmute the conversation around perimenopause by breaking down the symptoms, challenging common misconceptions, and sharing practical ways women can care for their minds, bodies, and confidence during this season of change.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • What perimenopause is—and how it differs from menopause
  • The early signs every woman should know
  • How hormonal changes can affect your emotions, memory, relationships, career, and confidence
  • Lifestyle habits that can support your body through the transition
  • How to advocate for yourself when your symptoms are dismissed
  • Encouragement for embracing this season with grace instead of fear

Andrea also answers a heartfelt listener question about navigating anxiety and confidence during perimenopause and leaves you with this week's Show Up Challenge: "Unmute Your Body," a simple reflection designed to help you reconnect with yourself and honor the woman you're becoming.

This episode is for every woman who has ever wondered:
"Is it just me?"

The answer is no.

You're not broken.
You're not losing yourself.
You're evolving.
