    Is this Normal? Perimenopause Symptoms That Make You Feel Like You're Losing It

    This episode is different. No talking. No explaining. Just a song. I wrote "Is This Normal?" because I kept hearing the same things from women. Waking up at 3am. Snapping at people they love. Forgetting words mid-sentence. Crying at commercials. Going to the doctor and being told their labs look fine. And then going home and quietly wondering if they were losing their minds. They were not. And neither are you. Perimenopause does not show up as one neat symptom. It can move through your brain, your sleep, your mood, your joints, your gut, your metabolism, and your heart all at the same time. That is why it feels like everything is falling apart at once. And that is why so many women spend years thinking it is just stress, or just age, or just them. It is not just them. It is never just them. This song is for the woman googling symptoms at 3am. For the one who sat in the bathroom and cried after snapping at her daughter. For the one who used to run meetings and now cannot find the word she was looking for. For the one whose doctor said everything looks fine and who drove home feeling more alone than when she walked in. You are not broken. You are not too much. There is a name for what you are experiencing, and you are not alone in it. If you want to see the full video this song was written for, including all 100 symptoms of perimenopause laid out one by one, head to YouTube at @EMBRwithKimberly. Watch it and notice what resonates. You may recognize more than you expected. And if you want to understand what is actually happening in your body hormonally, and why it feels so random and so relentless, my free guide "Why Your Body Feels Off" is linked below. It is a calm, clear starting place. Share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for someone we love is let them know they are not alone.

    11 Early Signs of Perimenopause Most Women Miss in their 30's & 40's

    Perimenopause symptoms can begin years before menopause, and many women miss the early signs. If you are noticing brain fog, sleep changes, anxiety, or weight shifts in your late 30s or 40s, hormones may be part of the story. In this video, I walk through 11 early signs of perimenopause that many women experience long before hot flashes or night sweats appear. These subtle changes are often dismissed as stress, aging, or just being busy, but when you see the pattern, the picture becomes much clearer. If you have ever thought, “I just don’t feel like myself anymore,” this may help you connect the dots and understand what your body is actually telling you.

    9 Strange Perimenopause Symptoms No One Warned You About

    Perimenopause symptoms can show up in ways most women never expect. From itchy ears to anxiety spikes, hormonal changes in your late 30s and 40s can affect far more than hot flashes. If you have been noticing strange body changes and wondering what is going on, you are not imagining it. Many lesser known perimenopause symptoms are linked to fluctuating estrogen levels that affect the nervous system, connective tissue, and sensory signals throughout the body. In this video, we walk through nine unusual symptoms that can happen during perimenopause, why they occur, and how understanding the hormonal connection can help you make sense of what your body is experiencing. If your doctor told you your labs look normal but your body feels different, this conversation may help connect the dots. Your body is not broken. You are navigating a hormonal transition that most women were never properly prepared for.

    What's Up Down THERE: Perimenopause Symptoms No One Warns You About

    Perimenopause symptoms like vaginal dryness, recurrent UTIs, and bladder leaks are more common than most women realize.

In this video, I explain what’s really happening in your vaginal and urinary tissues during perimenopause and menopause, why these symptoms tend to persist, and the evidence-based strategies that can dramatically improve them. If you’ve been told this is “just aging,” this conversation may shift everything. You don’t have to quietly tolerate discomfort, infections, or incontinence. There are real solutions. And one of them might surprise you.

    6 Signs of Perimenopause Every Woman Over 40 Should Know

    Perimenopause symptoms can look very different than most women expect. For women over 40, the signs of perimenopause often show up long before menopause, missed periods, or classic hot flashes. Many women experience changes across their nervous system, metabolism, sleep, mood, heart, and body without realizing these symptoms can be connected to perimenopause. In this episode, I walk through six common signs of perimenopause and explain why these changes can feel scattered, subtle, and hard to recognize at first. Understanding how hormone fluctuations affect multiple systems helps you stop blaming yourself and start recognizing patterns. I’m a physician assistant, and like many clinicians, I wasn’t trained to recognize early perimenopause this way. This conversation is meant to give you clarity, language, and a framework for what your body may be doing during this transition.

    The First Sign of Perimenopause No One Warns You About

    Perimenopause symptoms often begin quietly and long before missed periods or classic hot flashes. Many women over 40 describe it the same way: “I don’t feel like myself,” without realizing this can be an early sign of perimenopause. That feeling is real. It’s common. And it’s often the first clue that your body is moving through a hormonal transition no one prepared you for. Women I talk to every day describe subtle but disruptive changes like increased irritability, anxiety without a clear cause, brain fog, poor sleep, fatigue, hot or flushed surges, weight gain around the middle, and a sudden loss of libido. These symptoms don’t always appear all at once, and they don’t always seem connected, which is why so many women feel confused or blame themselves. This conversation is meant to help you recognize patterns, understand why these changes are physiologic, not personal, and feel more grounded in what your body is doing during this season.
