Coming Back to Life After Perimenopause Made Me Disappear

from How It's Really Going at 50 with Shana Recker · host Shana Recker

Somewhere around 48, I went quiet. I closed a business, got off social media, and just went inward. And for a while it felt like that was how I'd be forever. This episode is about what happened on the other side of that. Hormones balanced and finally feel good again. Something has shifted and I started wanting to be seen again, after seasons of hiding. I get into the bike program I didn't want to do... The tiger-stripe pants I never would've bought a year ago... The rave I almost talked myself out of... The TikToks I keep making even when my brain screams they're cringey.... There's one thing I figured out about why none of my old plans ever worked, and why this time feels completely different. I'm not going to give it away here. You'll have to listen. If you're in the hibernating part right now, unsure if you'll ever feel like yourself again, this one's for you. 🐯 Zara Tiger Pants: https://www.tiktok.com/@shanarecker/video/7677591999087725832 Zara link: https://www.zara.com/ca/en/animal-print-wide-leg-drawstring-pants-p06929210.html?v1=583130388 Links to all the things: https://shanalinks.lovable.app/ Thanks for tuning in.
