In this episode, Kim shares a deeply personal story about postpartum anxiety and how it sparked her lifelong commitment to self-advocacy. She talks about the all-too-common symptoms women hide during perimenopause and menopause—and why speaking up matters. You’ll hear the stats, the reality, and a simple checklist for what to ask when looking for a doctor who actually listens.

Let’s talk.
