Perimenopause Is Not a Trend: Let’s Talk About the Real Problem with Social Media
✨ Episode Description:
In this episode of The Midlife Edit, I’m calling out the trendification of perimenopause—and why we should all be angry about it.
Recently, I heard someone say perimenopause is the “next big thing” in wellness. And while yes, it’s great that more women are finally talking about this stage of life… calling it a trend? That’s not it.
Worse? Social media is now flooded with fear-based messaging designed to sell you supplements, hormone “hacks,” and overnight transformations—all while making you feel broken, lost, or too late.
This week, I’m breaking down:
- Why perimenopause is not a trend (and never will be)
- The harm of fear-based marketing in midlife wellness
- How to spot social media red flags and take your power back
- What midlife women actually need to thrive through this transition
If you're tired of being sold to instead of supported, this episode is for you.
