18: Listening to your body in midlife: Perimenopause, care + reclaiming yourself with Mandy Unruh

In this episode, I sit down with Mandy Unruh, an intuitive tarot reader and astrology enthusiast whose work has woven through birth support, fitness, massage, writing, and the kind of helping that comes from deep listening.Mandy shares her biggest midlife WTF moment, perimenopause, and the long, exhausting, deeply personal road of trying to get the care her body has been asking for. We talk about what it is like to navigate symptoms that push you past the point of white-knuckling it, the frustration of broken healthcare systems, and the tenderness of needing support in ways that feel both vulnerable and necessary.Together, we explore what changes when you stop overriding yourself. The difference between being rushed and being truly seen. The courage it takes to choose what feels right in your body even when fear, money, and urgency are pulling the wheel. We also talk about the quiet healing of being met by a partner who helps you return to your values, and the strange, meaningful moments when the universe seems to mirror back that you are worth the investment.If you are moving through a chapter of life where your body feels unfamiliar, your confidence is shifting, or you are learning to trust yourself in new ways, you will find so much resonance here.Let’s talk about what becomes possible when you listen to your body, stay close to your truth, and remember that you always have choices.Connect with Mandy (she/her/they/them)Website: https://www.mandyunruh.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mandyunruh/
