what fresh hell is this?

It's perimenopause! Join lifelong best friends, Kate and Megan, as they navigate adventures in perimenopause all the way through menopause with irreverence, laughter, real women's stories, and interviews with the experts. Stripping away the bias and delivering tender, bite-sized morsels of valuable info & shared community for the gal on the go.

They're balancing those (all too common) moments of rage with the menopositive moments that keep your (freshly plucked) chin up. Buckle up for the hormonal rollercoaster ride of a lifetime. 

Being a mom is a full-time gig. Being a mom while your hormones are throwing you curveballs? That’s an Olympic sport.

If you’ve found yourself feeling suddenly drowning in burnout, or oscillating between "I love my family" and "Everyone is breathing too loudly and I want to run away forever" in the span of thirty seconds, you are not alone—and you’re not losing your mind. It’s just perimenopause. Join us for a enlightening, candid, and judgment-free conversation about what’s actually happening behind the scenes, led by Certified Menopause Specialist and ARNP, Lavonne Searle, and Certified Menopause Coach (and your favorite podcast co-hostess), Megan Bird.

We’re diving into why the chaos state of perimenopausal hormones is wreaking havoc on your brain, your mood, and your ability to "handle it all".

latest episodes

episode 8: all the baddies are saddies (TW discussions of suicide and depression)

No guests, no filter! On this episode, Kate and Megan discuss their personal journey updates. No experts, no doctors, no anecdotes from other women - just these ladies catching up on what's been going on. Megan discusses her PMDD diagnosis and chosen course of treatment. Kate discusses her suspicions that she has undiagnosed ADHD. The gals discuss cycle tracking, mental health, depression, and the fact that perimenopause should not be accused of being "pathologized" just because many of us today are seeking symptom relief. They'll be back with your regularly scheduled programming of quality information from real experts next week. 

episode 9: first comes love, then comes perimenopause

Relationships & Sex, but make it perimenopause! This juicy episode dives into sex, love, relationships, and the changes in your own capacity for giving and receiving these things.

We're so honored to have shared a mic with Natassja Barnes, LMHC and Certified Sex Therapist, to discuss how changes in estrogen might affect your feelings around those topics. We're covering all the juicy stuff: how relationships change over time, how they change when hormones start to fluctuate, and how the things that worked for you once upon a time are no longer doing it for you.

are you mad at us?

Oh, phew! Ok, well, would you be a doll and share with us your "Is it MENOPAUSE or is it MEN" anecdotes? Did your pocket get caught on a drawer pull and you contemplated murder? Did someone sneeze too loudly in your vicinity and you needed to do some deep breathing?

Is it perimenopause or is it just the hellscape of the patriarchy?

Please tell us! We'll love you forever!
