Have you noticed energy, mood, or sleep changes as you get older? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Karen Lamb about the effects of midlife hormonal shifts and:

• How perimenopause can impact highly sensitive people

• Symptoms to look out for as your hormone levels change

• Why this time of life can be an opportunity for rebirth where you shed your people pleasing and self-sacrificing habits

• Lifestyle changes and remedies to make yourself more comfortable during midlife
