It Might Be Hormones, It Might Be Mars in Aries - Burnt Out Mums Club Weekly Meeting

Even been so full of rage that you couldn't put a sentence together? This is the place for you. Welcome to this week's meeting of the Burnt Out Mums Club.Nobody warned us about perimenopause. Not really. There were no classes, no preparation, and apparently very little research — especially if you compare it to, say, the amount of money that went into Viagra.This week Alison and Alexi get into one of the most under-talked-about intersections in the spicy mum world: what happens when a neurodivergent body hits perimenopause. The rage that might be hormones, might be Mars in Aries, and is probably both. The postpartum to perimenopause pipeline that nobody tells you about. The emotional symptoms that arrive years before the physical ones. And why, if you've got a divergent brain, you've almost certainly got a divergent body too.They talk about the wild west of HRT, why your liver deserves a little attention before you go down that path, why iron is doing more than you think, and the genius hack of drawing a picture of your body and handing it to your GP instead of trying to explain everything in a ten minute appointment.Also: why some women just sail through menopause completely unbothered, and why that is genuinely offensive.Funny, frank, and full of things your mum probably never told you — because nobody told her either.
