Perimenopause, Self-Love, and Yoga Practice with Kat Smith

Perimenopause doesn’t just shift your hormones — it often shifts the questions you’re willing to ask about your life. In this episode, I sit down with yoga teacher, Enneagram teacher, and TEDx speaker Kat Smith for an honest conversation about midlife, motherhood, and the moment many women realize they’ve been holding everything together while quietly running on empty.We talk about self-trust, desire, and how yoga and nervous system practices can support women through the emotional and physical changes of perimenopause. If you’re navigating midlife, feeling stretched thin, or craving a deeper connection with yourself, this conversation offers perspective, compassion, and practical insight.Meet Kat SmithKat is an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher, certified Enneagram teacher, Co-host of the Enneagram+ Yoga podcast and TEDx speaker who helps people better understand themselves through the powerful combination of yoga and the Enneagram.
