You might feel like you’re falling apart - but what if it’s just that no one told you the truth about perimenopause?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Mindset and Menopause Coach Angela Wilkins-Green, who shares her raw and inspiring story of hitting rock bottom after years of unexplained anxiety, exhaustion, and self-doubt. After walking away from a 25-year career and crying daily for three months, Angela finally discovered she was in perimenopause - something she had never even heard of. Now she’s on a mission to make sure no other woman feels lost, broken, or ashamed for something that’s biologically normal.

We explore the emotional and psychological symptoms of perimenopause (that no one talks about), how to reclaim your confidence and clarity, and the power of self-advocacy when the world tells you to just “push through.”

If you’ve been feeling like you’ve lost yourself lately, this episode is a warm reminder: you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ Perimenopause often shows up first as emotional symptoms like anxiety, self-doubt, and brain fog - not just physical ones.

✔ You are not going mad - your symptoms are real and valid, even if others can’t see them.

✔ Seeking support isn’t weakness; it’s a bold and empowered choice to reclaim your life.

✔ Boundaries, self-awareness, and joy are essential tools for navigating this chapter.

✔ You can rise from burnout and rediscover who you truly are on the other side.
