Manage episode 490822054 series 3419787
An honest conversation about what 12 years of perimenopause has been like.
Episode 8: Perimenopause & The Decade of Rage — a no-holds-barred, deeply personal and trauma-informed look at what really happens when women hit their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
Host Amanda shares her raw, unfiltered experience navigating over a decade of perimenopause, busting medical myths, confronting historical misogyny in women’s healthcare, and spotlighting the overlooked emotional, hormonal, and spiritual impacts of this massive life transition.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why perimenopause often starts way earlier than you think
The truth about the “decade of rage” nobody talks about
How trauma, undiagnosed neurodivergence, and hormone shifts collide
Why gaslighting by medical professionals makes it worse
What every woman deserves to know—and why it’s never “just in your head”
Amanda also shares insights from her training as a trauma-informed coach, how to find a therapist who actually listens, and why it’s okay to scream, shift, change, and reclaim your damn life.
