Why the Life You Built No Longer Fits with Laura Kusto

Have you ever felt like the life you've worked so hard to create suddenly doesn't fit anymore?

In this episode, Lori sits down with Laura Kusto to discuss the profound shifts many women experience during perimenopause and menopause—and why these changes often go far beyond hot flashes and brain fog.

Laura explains how hormonal changes impact the brain, why high-achieving women often feel a deep sense of misalignment during midlife, and how this season can serve as a powerful invitation to reevaluate what truly matters.

Together, they discuss:

• Why so many women feel like they're unraveling in midlife
• What's actually happening in the brain during perimenopause and menopause
• The connection between misalignment, stress, and physical symptoms
• Why high-performing women often struggle the most with these transitions
• How to adjust expectations without feeling like you're giving up
• Navigating changing relationships, family dynamics, and responsibilities
• When it's time to renegotiate your life—and when bigger changes may be needed
• The importance of community and talking openly about this stage of life

If you've ever wondered, "What's wrong with me?" during this season, Laura offers a powerful reminder: nothing is wrong with you. You're experiencing a normal transition that can lead to greater clarity, confidence, and alignment with who you truly are.
