Welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe — the podcast where we finally talk about the things women are Googling at 2 a.m. while sweating through the sheets and wondering who hijacked their body.

Today’s episode is for anyone who’s thought, “Is it just me, or did my entire system change without warning?” Spoiler: it’s not just you — it’s perimenopause and menopause, and no one handed us the manual.

We’re unpacking the real stuff: mood swings, night sweats, brain fog, disappearing confidence, and that unsettling moment when your patience evaporates and your “give-a-damn” goes missing. This isn’t doom-and-gloom — it’s an honest, adult conversation about what’s actually happening inside your body and why you suddenly feel off.

We break down the hormone players (estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid, testosterone — yes, women have it), how stress hijacks the whole system, and why trying to “fix hormones” without calming your nervous system is like repainting a house with a cracked foundation. Science, faith, and sarcasm all make an appearance.

If you’ve been told “this is just part of being a woman,” felt dismissed, or wondered why everything feels harder lately — this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not dramatic. Your body is adapting, and it deserves support, not shame.
