As we wrap up Season 1 of Bottom of the Scrub Bin, we're having the kind of conversation that happens when two friends sit down, take a deep breath, and talk honestly about life. In this episode, we're talking about perimenopause, people pleasing, brain fog, anxiety, body image, confidence, and the reality of navigating midlife as working women. From forgetting important things (including family plans), to hot flashes, sleep struggles, and learning how to set boundaries, we're sharing the moments that remind us we're not alone in this stage of life. We also discuss Lauren's experience seeking care for perimenopause symptoms and finding a provider who took the time to listen, answer questions, and create an individualized treatment plan. Most importantly, we're talking about letting go of unrealistic expectations, worrying less about what others think, and finding confidence in who we are right now—not who we think we're supposed to be. So grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and join us for some real talk, real laughs, and a reminder that none of us have this figured out. Thank you for supporting Bottom of the Scrub Bin through Season 1. We'll see you in Season 2! Disclaimer: Bottom of the Scrub Bin is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or compensated by Peri & Pause.
