I had an incredibly insightful conversation with Psychologist Kirstin Bouse on perimenopause and menopause and came out of it understanding sooooo much more. Her insights were mind blowing! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Topics included the boomers experience, mother guilt, perimenopause rage and what women of all ages can do now to help the next generations.
A quick explanation of what happens during perimenopause. In this video I use a simple hormone graph to show how oestrogen and progesterone begin to fluctuate and why this can affect mood, sleep, energy and tolerance levels.
Understanding the shift can help you explain what you’re experiencing to your doctor or loved ones. This is a high-level overview to help you navigate the transition with more clarity.
In this video, we talk with a GP hormone specialist (Dr Kowalczyk-Ord) who shares expert advice, insights, and solutions for navigating the challenges of perimenopause. Learn about common symptoms, available treatments, and how to feel empowered during this phase of life.

Helpful TikToks to get you started
I have created a lot of TikToks over time on perimenopause, some informative and some humorous. Below are a few that I believe could either help you in understanding where you are or explaining to others what's happening for you. I've also included a little funny one, to potentially help you feel less alone in the crazy journey. To see the rest of my TikToks look me up on the app.
