Hot, Bothered & Apparently Targeted

from Embracing the Wild Hosted by Audra Whatley & Abby Pagud

Perimenopause has entered the chat…and apparently she brought hot flashes, brain fog, shifting hormones, questionable sleep, body changes, and an entire industry waiting to sell us something for every damn one of them. This week, Audra and Abby dive into all things perimenopause and menopause with some seriously good educational clips, plenty of wait…THAT'S why?! moments, and a whole lot of laughter about the things women have been quietly dealing with for generations. We get into the changes nobody adequately prepared us for, the frustrations that can make you wonder what the hell your body is doing, and the beautifully convenient way every pain point seems to come with a product promising to fix it. Because yes, there is real information to understand. Yes, there are tools that can help. And yes…sometimes you also need to laugh at the sheer absurdity of being sweaty, forgetful, emotional, wide awake at 3 a.m.—and marketed to through the entire experience. So grab your fan, find whatever room you walked into but can't remember why, and come ride this particular flavor of wild with us. Apparently, the change has a sense of humor.
