EP 26: The Perimenopause Effect | What’s happening to your body that no one is talking about

Описание: Perimenopause isn’t a personality change, a discipline problem, or “just stress.”

It’s a biological transition—and most women are wildly underprepared for what it actually does to their bodies.



In this episode of the pod, we’re breaking down the perimenopause effect: the hormonal shifts no one talks about, why symptoms like anxiety, poor sleep, weight changes, low libido, brain fog, and mood swings happen, and how often women are dismissed instead of treated.



We cover:




•


What perimenopause actually is (and why it feels so chaotic)




•


What symptoms are common vs what deserves medical attention




•


Why “just eat less” and “women just aren’t into sex” are lazy, harmful myths




•


How hormones, sleep, stress, and training intersect during this phase




•


Evidence-based support options—including hormone therapy, non-hormonal treatments, and smarter lifestyle shifts






This is not a “power through it” episode.

It’s a you’re not failing—your body is changing conversation.



If you’ve been wondering why things suddenly feel harder—and why no one warned you—this episode is for you.

WELCOME TO THE AUDACITY EFFECT



Welcome to The Audacity Effect — the unapologetic podcast for women & people who are done waiting for permission and ready to build audacious careers, businesses, and lives.



We talk female ambition, confidence, reinvention, modern womanhood, leadership, and building something bigger — even if you’re still in your 9-5, still figuring it out, or still convincing your inner critic to calm down.

We’re Jenna & Kelly — corporate escape artists in progress, accidentally-serious life strategists, and founders rewriting the rules one bold decision at a time.



Think: Self-development minus the cringe. Ambition without apology. Humor + healing + high standards.



Here’s what you’ll hear:




• How to stop shrinking and start showing up


• Confidence, comparison, jealousy & the real dynamics of female friendship


• Surviving corporate culture without letting it suck out your soul


• Second-act careers & identity pivots


• Overcoming imposter syndrome


• Entrepreneurship while working a full-time job


• Building confidence, resilience & brand direction


• Saying yes before you're "ready"


• Real conversations about ambition, burnout, and balancing it all




There will be real tools. Real pep talks. Real chaos. And zero performative perfection. A space for high-achieving women & others to come and stop playing it small.



You don’t need more qualifications — you need more audacity.



New episodes weekly. Welcome to your bolder era.
