Send us a Text Message.As we traverse the shifting sands of perimenopause and menopause, it can often feel like uncharted territory. That's why we invited Karelin, a licensed marriage and family therapist and menopause coach, to walk us through this landscape with humor, empathy, and a treasure trove of expertise. Her voice joins ours in a chorus that sings of the complexities, the emotional rollercoaster, and the surprisingly sparse map of information that leaves so many women feeling lost. We're here to place more markers on that map, to share anecdotes that echo your own, and to affirm that the journey, while unique for each woman, is one we can navigate together.Throughout our conversations, we don't just talk about perimenopause; we get personal. From mood swings that can feel like tidal waves, to the hot flashes that could probably toast marshmallows, we lay it all out. We share laughs over the unexpected – like the time sweat patches became my unexpected accessory at a crucial meeting – and we lean into the serious, discussing the support that can make all the difference. Partners who can ride out the storm with us, medical professionals who listen, and personal toolkits that help manage the myriad symptoms. We discuss the role of HRT, navigating body acceptance, and even how a sprinkle of micro-resiliency can be your best friend during a sleepless night.But we don't stop there. As we wrap up, we brush on the interplay of alcohol with hormones, and the value of somatic therapy for emotional regulation. And because menopause can affect more than just our bodies, we touch on the evolving understanding of sexuality, stress management, and the sheer power found in community solidarity. Plus, we've got a Nordic romance recommendation you won't want to miss. Join us, and Karelin, for an episode that feels like your favorite cozy chat - full of insights, strategies, and a whole lot of shared experiences.To check out Karelin, head on over to her website: www.karelinwadkins.com; or her YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beemindful147Referenced during the episode: The book series is Underworld Gods by Karina Halle River of Shadows (Underworld Gods Book 1) https://a.co/d/7IlXewbSupport the Show.BigSexyChat.com appreciates you and our community.
