We tell a raw, clear story about early perimenopause, the “dark cloud” weeks that shook our home, and the decision to push for medical help after lifestyle changes weren’t enough. We share how cycle tracking, food choices, and advocacy led to a progesterone-only plan and a commitment to speak up.

• early signs and confusion with anemia
• food triggers, whole foods, and energy stability
• cycle tracking to predict mood shifts
• the breaking-point weekend and recovery
• deciding not to accept only 23 good days
• advocating at the appointment and pressing for care
• starting SLYND (progesterone-only) and supportive steps
• naming hard symptoms: dryness, libido changes, nausea
• inviting partners and kids into the plan
• ending stigma and refusing silent suffering

Make time, prioritize. I will continue to let you know how things are going on my side. I would love for you guys to be with me on this part of the journey because it is something that is so poorly documented and is just not talked about enough.

We open up about the awkward but necessary work of setting boundaries with other parents, teachers, and kids’ friends to keep our children safe online and offline. We share proactive scripts, red flags to watch for, and how to hold firm without starting a fight.

• weekend check‑in and why boundaries are top of mind
• different household rules and respectful alignment
• giving teachers permission to share concerns
• how to raise issues with other parents calmly
• red flags around body safety and inappropriate behavior
• online gaming norms, monitoring, and group texts
• simple scripts that reduce conflict and set standards
• teaching kids their own body and voice boundaries
• choosing supervision, limits, or pauses when trust is shaky
• ending with a clear, simple message parents can send today

“Hey, I know our kids are friends—please reach out anytime if you hear something, and I’ll do the same.”

The mental load women carry goes far beyond physical tasks—it's about the constant awareness of household needs that partners often don't share. When women ask for more balance, they're not just seeking help with chores but asking why they alone must keep track of everything from doctor appointments to toothpaste levels.

• Mental load involves thousands of small tasks occupying women's minds constantly
• "Ask for help" misses the point—women want partners to notice needs without prompting
• Remembering one household need per day would make a tremendous difference to partners
• Even households with traditional gender roles need clear boundaries around responsibilities
• Having a partner who notices something before you do feels remarkably freeing
• Second topic explores whether it's offensive to be invited to celebrations but not regular gatherings

I appreciate you all being with me today, and I will catch you on the next one. Take care.
