Menopause madness? Perimenopause chaos? You’re not losing it, your hormones are. But what if relief was just a few taps away in an app?

In this episode, Lisa and Faith get real about the midlife mess. From prepping for kids’ baseball tournaments (and judging their husbands’ packing skills) to surviving perimenopause, nothing’s off-limits.

Lisa shares her latest chaos: a perfectly color-coded laundry system destroyed by her husband’s freestyle approach. Faith brings the hormone intel every woman needs, like estrogen patches and progesterone pills, and how telehealth platforms like Midi Health are changing the game.

They tackle the symptoms no one talks about, random anxiety, brain fog, and that sudden rage that isn’t just about your partner’s loud breathing. Sometimes, it’s not your personality, it’s your hormones. And sometimes, even estrogen needs a little help… enter Zoloft.
