The impact perimenopause & menopause can have on your relationships

Send us Fan MailPerimenopause and menopause are often discussed in terms of physical symptoms, but their impact reaches far beyond the individual. Fluctuating hormones can influence mood, energy, confidence, sleep, and cognition—changes that inevitably shape how someone relates to the people around them. Partners may struggle to understand sudden shifts in emotions or intimacy, friendships can feel strained when someone withdraws or feels “unlike themselves,” and professional relationships may be affected by brain fog, fatigue, or reduced tolerance for stress.In this podcast, we explore how perimenopause and menopause can affect relationships with partners, friends, and colleagues, and why awareness matters on both sides. We will talk openly about the misunderstandings, the unspoken frustrations, and the quiet losses that can occur—but also about communication, compassion, and practical ways to strengthen relationships during this transition. Because menopause is not just a personal experience; it is a shared one, and understanding it can make all the difference.https://calmmenopause.co.uk/https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1CzLZjxgPA%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr&e=AT05ML4wHgdNu244GlOIripK8SgnACBVq3N-pbK88PgHf52KJQDwwtDQCAys5NNNb5kTKOa7HVVAQi1KaKvJTfixUbLLm8u15OAyA0GYTNNpt9WZkyFfM7o
