S2 E33 My Menopause Story: What Worked, What Didn’t, and How I Got My Life Back

You know that moment when you realize you’re chewing three Trenta cups of ice from Starbucks and crying in your closet because you can’t wear sweaters anymore? Yeah, that was my perimenopause wake-up call.

In this deeply personal episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own menopause story — the hemorrhaging that lasted for years, the hot flashes that made me want to trade my firstborn child, and the one supplement that finally saved my sanity.

This isn’t your typical clinical discussion. This is the real, raw, vulnerable truth about what it’s like to navigate menopause as a wellness practitioner who was too busy taking care of everyone else to notice she was literally transfusion-level anemic.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

• Why I was consuming three large cups of ice daily (and the scary blood work that finally woke me up)
• The supplement protocol that failed me for months before I found the one thing that worked
• Why I chose to go through menopause without HRT and what worked instead
• The lifestyle mistakes I made that prolonged my suffering unnecessarily
• My go-to protocols for supporting women through perimenopause and beyond
• Why boundaries and self-care become non-negotiable during this transition

If you’re in the thick of perimenopause yourself or supporting women through this journey, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone, you’re not broken, and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
