    Making sense of midlife

    After years of conversations about menopause, hormones, sleep, weight, relationships, aging, and women's health, the She2.0 podcast is evolving. In this episode, I share why I believe many women in midlife are not lacking information, but struggling to make sense of it. Midlife brings changes to our bodies, identities, relationships, priorities, and sense of self, often all at once. Yet we are frequently left wondering why we no longer feel like ourselves. This conversation explores why midlife can feel so disorienting, why so many women interpret change as personal failure, and why understanding what is happening may matter more than collecting more advice. Moving forward, She2.0 will continue to feature expert conversations on health, menopause, and aging, while also exploring the deeper questions surrounding identity, self trust, expectations, and what it means to navigate change well. If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I don't feel like myself anymore," this episode is for you.

    Childhood Trauma, PTSD and Perimenopause: Lenore's Story

    How does unresolved trauma show up in midlife? And why do so many women find old wounds resurfacing during perimenopause? In this episode, Jacquie sits down with her friend Lenore for an honest conversation about childhood trauma, PTSD, healing, and what happens when experiences you've carried for decades finally demand attention.
