EP 7 - The 5% They Want You to Hide - Overachieving Shits...

What this episode covers

What do you do when your phone charger won't plug in and you're suddenly screaming at the wall? You might be in menopause, and you’re definitely an overachieving shit show. Dr. Kate and guest Heidi Hovda get real about the "psychopath at night" phase of life, the beauty of "rage poems" (5-7-5 or bust!), and why we’re all choosing the bear. Grab a drink and pull up a spot on the floor—this one is for everyone currently white-knuckling life.
