The week before your period can feel like someone swapped your brain out overnight. I am sharing a very real solo catch-up on coming off Wellbutrin, “raw dogging life,” and the moment I realised my worst spirals were lining up with my luteal phase and possible perimenopause. If you have ever wondered whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or “just stress,” this conversation pulls hormones into the frame in a way most of us were never taught to consider.

We talk practical next steps for women’s health, including why I keep coming back to one nonnegotiable: get your blood work done. I also open up about white coat syndrome and why going to the doctor can feel hard, plus how telehealth platforms and lab options can make it easier to start gathering real information about what is happening in your body.

Then I go deep on my peptide journey, what I tried, what I stopped (sermorelin), and what genuinely surprised me: better sleep with a GHK-Cu and epitalon stack. The sleep piece matters because when we finally rest, everything else gets easier, from mood to resilience to how we show up as moms. We also shift into middle school parenting, the loss of the “toddler manual,” and how I am trying to guide my preteen through complex social stuff by focusing on values, goals, and open conversations.

If this hit home, subscribe, share it with a mom friend who feels like she is “going crazy,” and leave a review so more women can find this. What symptom have you been brushing off that you are ready to track and take seriously?
