#47: Is It Perimenopause? The Hormonal Shift That’s Changing Everything and No One Warned You About

Season 2 Episode 47

Talk to Nichole and Ben.

In this final episode in our Womanhood Through the Ages mini-series, we’re talking about a season of life that too many women feel completely unprepared for: perimenopause.

It’s often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or brushed off entirely. But the changes women go through during this time - physically, emotionally, mentally, are real, and they can deeply affect your identity, your relationships, your career, and your confidence.

In this episode, Nichole is joined once again by hormone and gynaecological health expert Lorna Driver-Davies to talk honestly about what perimenopause actually looks like, how to recognise the signs, and why so many women feel dismissed or invisible during this transition.

They unpack the emotional impact of shifting hormones, the myths that need breaking, and the importance of advocating for yourself when you're not being taken seriously in medical spaces. There is support out there. You just need to know where to look and what to ask for.

If you’ve been feeling off and wondering if this could be why, or you love someone who is quietly struggling and doesn’t know how to talk about it, this episode is for you.

You’re not losing your mind. You’re not alone.
