About this episode
This episode discusses body image challenges during midlife and how faith can provide support amidst physical changes.
Your body changes in midlife — and sometimes your self-talk does too. In this episode of Hello Hormones, we talk about body image during perimenopause and menopause. Why the mirror can suddenly feel louder. Why clothes fit differently. Why confidence can feel shaky. And how faith anchors us when appearance shifts. This conversation is not about toxic positivity. It’s about truth. You are not your waistline. You are not your wrinkles. You are not your reflection.
