Perimenopause Isn’t a Deficit. It’s a New Way of Leading.

We're told to keep pushing. To keep up. To perform like nothing is changing, even as our entire body undergoes a systemic transformation.
This week I'm joined by Blessing Uchendu, a leadership coach and somatic therapist, for a conversation on something so many women in their 40s and 50s are navigating quietly and often alone: perimenopause, and what it asks of us as leaders, as women, and as humans.
We talk about why this transition is so much more than hot flashes and night sweats. It's a full-system rewiring, and the strategies that carried you through the first half of your life, the over-functioning, the reading the room before you read yourself, the pushing through, start to fall away. Not because something is wrong with you, but because your body is asking for a different way.
Here's what we get into:
- Why somatics, connecting to the body, is the foundation of how we lead, not a nice-to-have
- The reframe that changes everything: your body is going through a reorg, and it deserves the same grace
- Why the strategies that got you here stop working, and what that's actually inviting
- How to find safety within yourself when the world around you isn't built to support this transition
- Releasing the shame we've been taught to carry around our bodies, from our first period to now
- Why this season is not a deficit to your leadership, it's an expansion of it
This one is honest, warm, and full of permission. Because perimenopause was never meant to be something we hide. It's a coming home to ourselves.
