Hot, Hormonal & Done: The Perimenopause-Divorce Connection

7 in 10 women blame perimenopause for the breakdown of their marriage. 70% of divorces are initiated by women. Coincidence? We don't think so.In this episode, I sit down with Dawn Wiggins — therapist and divorce coach — and we go all the way in on what's actually happening in a woman's body, why libido tanks (hint: it's not your partner), and why perimenopause may be the silent force behind more divorces than anyone wants to admit.Oh — and perimenopause is reversible. We said what we said.If you've ever felt like a stranger in your own body, your own marriage, or your own life — this one's for you.Key Topics Covered:The perimenopause-divorce connection: what the research actually says and why it mattersWhy perimenopause is hitting women younger — and what's driving itThe truth about libido and relationships: it's not about desire, it's about depletionWhy your partner's inability to support this transition may be the real breaking pointPerimenopause is reversible — what that means and why it changes everythingPractical tools to navigate perimenopause, especially when divorce is happening at the same timeHow to reclaim your identity and start seeing yourself as the goddess you actually are“Unless you do conscious work to reprogram your subconscious mind, you are going to repeat those relationship patterns without meaning to.” - Dawn WigginsAbout Our Guest: Dawn WigginsDawn Wiggins, Ed.S., is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and divorce recovery coach with over two decades of experience.
