About this episode

Bria Gadd discusses the feelings of overwhelm many women experience during perimenopause and the importance of community and education in navigating this phase of life.

Why Women Feel So Stuck in Perimenopause (And the Community I Wish Every Woman Had) If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not feeling like yourself… You’re not alone. Maybe you’re eating well, exercising consistently, trying every supplement, listening to every podcast, and still waking up exhausted, gaining weight, struggling with brain fog, or wondering why your body suddenly feels so different. In this solo episode, I share why I believe more women than ever are feeling overwhelmed during perimenopause and menopause, and why the answer isn’t another quick fix. Instead, it’s having the right roadmap, the right education, and the right community to help you understand what your body is actually asking for. I also take you behind the scenes of Midlife Mojo , the membership I’ve dreamed of creating for years. A place where women can stop piecing together advice from Google, social media, and endless podcasts, and finally have one trusted home for learning, support, and real transformation.   Episode Timeline 00:00 – Why More Women Than Ever Feel Stuck in Midlife 07:20 – Understanding Health Debt and Why Your Body Feels Different 13:45 – Why…
