What if the hardest part of perimenopause and menopause has nothing to do with hot flashes? In this deeply personal and research-backed solo episode, host [Your Name] pulls back the curtain on the silent struggles we're often too ashamed to talk about.

She shares her own story of the shocking moment she realized she was no longer in control of her changing body, and the comment from a follower that changed her perspective entirely.

This episode is a raw exploration of what's really happening beneath the surface:

• The profound grief and identity crisis of feeling like you no longer recognize yourself.
• The science behind "brain fog" and why it's not your fault.
• The isolation in your own relationship when a partner just doesn't understand the physical and emotional changes.
• The real cause of "meno-rage" and depressive symptoms.
• The crushing mental load of trying to function like your old self when your biology has other plans.

Most importantly, this is a conversation about finding your way out of the isolation. Sam makes a powerful case for why sharing our stories and building community is not just comforting—it's a crucial step in reclaiming our power and navigating this transition with grace, self-compassion, and the knowledge that you are not alone.
