Summary
"Is this perimenopause… or just life?"
Episode 6 of Midrising Conversations. One of the most confusing and least talked-about phases of midlife.
Barbara shares her experience of perimenopause — brain fog, memory lapses, mood swings, hormonal shifts. Gill sits on the other side wondering why she's not feeling any of this.
Two women, same phase of life, completely different experiences. That's not a contradiction — it's the truth of perimenopause that nobody talks about.
What we cover:• The early signs of perimenopause (and how easy they are to miss)• Brain fog, memory loss, and the "am I losing my mind?" moment• Mood changes, irritability, and emotional shifts• Why this phase can last years, not months• The pressure to "fix" it — and why that's not always the answer• Whether this is hormones, or just part of becoming who we are now
Not medical advice. Just two women working through what midlife actually feels like in their bodies — and what it doesn't.
Topics: perimenopause, midlife, hormones, women in their 40s and 50s, the middle shift.
