If you've been feeling off lately—anxious, exhausted, gaining weight even though you're doing everything "right"—this episode is for you, sweet friend.

This is Part 1 of a 3-part series created just for you—the Christian woman walking through perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause and wondering, What is going on with my body?

You are not crazy. You are not alone. And this season is not the end of your strength—it's a sacred invitation to care for yourself with God at the center.

Inside this episode, we'll cover: 

  • What menopause really is—and why it's more than hot flashes and hormones
  • The truth about your symptoms (and that you're not imagining them)
  • Why weight gain, sleep issues, and anxiety show up in this season
  • What God's Word says about aging and your identity
  • Faith-based ways to support your body, mind, and soul right now

If this blesses you, don't miss Part 2 and Part 3—Episodes 266 and 267. I wrote them with you in mind. (Coming soon!)

You'll hear Scripture, science, and stories that remind you: you're not alone, and you don't have to walk through this without God.
