The Midlife Edit
Solo Episode: Embracing Vulnerability in Midlife
Episode Summary:
In this deeply honest solo episode, Jen opens up about the emotional and physical toll perimenopause has taken on her lately. From extreme fatigue to high-functioning anxiety, overthinking, and a lack of motivation that feels almost paralyzing — she shares what it’s really been like behind the scenes.
Jen dives into how therapy and a strong support system have helped her navigate this heavy season, and why she finally decided to order a hormone test to better understand what’s happening in her body. This episode is a reminder that you’re not alone, you’re not lazy, and you’re certainly not broken — even if you feel like you’re barely holding it together.
What You’ll Hear:
- The reality of midlife fatigue that sleep can’t fix
- What high-functioning anxiety looks like (and why it’s often overlooked)
- The role hormones may be playing in your motivation and mood
- How therapy is helping Jen reframe rest and self-compassion
- The importance of support systems when you feel like you’re falling apart
- Why she ordered a hormone test and how she’s using curiosity over shame
- An empowering message if you’re feeling off, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained
