    Perimenopause: What’s Happening & Why You’re Not Crazy with Sarah, Nurse Practitioner

    If you’re between 35 and 55 and you feel like your body changed overnight… you’re not crazy. You’re not weak. And you’re definitely not alone. Ashlynn Mitchell is the voice behind This Is Ashlynn, a podcast about reinvention, relationships, and the courage to become who you are beneath the roles you’ve been playing. After rebuilding her life following a public betrayal and divorce, Ashlynn traded survival for self-trust and now leads honest conversations about midlife, desire, healing, parenting, and what happens when you stop living for everyone else. Mother of two. Roller skater. Truth teller. Proof that your best chapter doesn’t have to be your first. FIND ASHLYNN HERE & INSTAGRAM Sarah is a Family Nurse Practitioner with over twenty years of experience in healthcare. Sarah doesn’t believe in the “one size fits all” health model and truly advocates for each of her patients as individuals. Sarah specializes in functional medicine such as hormones, gut health, mental health, women’s health and nutrition.  Today we’re talking about what’s actually happening in perimenopause, what’s biology, what’s identity, and how to stop white-knuckling your way through it.  There were moments I genuinely thought something was wrong with my personality. The anxiety. The 3 a.m. wakeups. The shorter fuse. The feeling like I wasn’t as resilient as I used to be. 1️⃣ What is perimenopause… simply? • Why does it feel so chaotic? • Why are so many women blindsided? 2️⃣ Symptoms no one warned us about • Beyond hot flashes, what shocks women most? • Why does it feel like a personality shift? • Is the anxiety + rage + brain fog hormonal? “If you’ve Googled ‘Why am I so angry?’ at 2 a.m., this might be why.” 3️⃣ Mental health + identity • Why do high-functioning women suddenly feel less resilient? • Is this hormones, stress, or both? • Does perimenopause change what we’re willing to tolerate? 4️⃣ Hormone therapy myths • Biggest myths keeping women stuck? • Why can labs look “normal”? • How is perimenopause actually diagnosed? • When is hormone therapy appropriate? “You don’t have to wait until you’re miserable enough to deserve help.” 5️⃣ What actually helps • If someone feels barely functional, where should she start? • What moves the needle most? “Midlife isn’t about shrinking. It’s about getting stronger.”
