    92. Women Over 40 Are Drowning — But Here's What No One Wants to Talk About

    07/1/2026 | 9 mins.

    Women over 40 aren't just "busy" – they're overloaded. In this episode, we talk honestly about why so many midlife women feel like they're drowning: the pressure to over-function, checked-out partners, overbooked kids, rising costs of living, comparison culture, and hormones pushed past their limits.  You'll hear what most people are afraid to say out loud and practical shifts that help you slow down, ask for support, set boundaries, and build a life that actually feels sustainable. What You'll Learn: Why so many women slip into "masculine overdrive" and what it costs your health How passive partner dynamics get created (and how communication can change it) The invisible mental load most women carry every single day How overscheduling kids and volunteering yourself into exhaustion keeps you stuck The impact of social media, body trends, and constant comparison on midlife women Simple, realistic shifts to create breathing room, protect your energy, and feel like yourself again   LOVE THE SHOW?

    90. Anger, Irritability & Rage in Perimenopause (and What to Do About It)

    10/12/2025 | 12 mins.

    If you've been snapping at people you love, feeling angry for no reason, or like you're becoming someone you barely recognize, this episode explains why. Perimenopause rage is a physiological response to shifting hormones, mineral depletion, and decades of over-functioning.  In this episode, Claudia breaks down what's driving the emotional volatility, why traditional advice doesn't help, and what it actually takes to feel calm and grounded again. In this episode, you'll learn: The surprising hormonal shifts that trigger sudden rage in perimenopause Why low progesterone and fluctuating estrogen wreak havoc on your mood How cortisol dysregulation makes you more reactive to stress The connection between mineral depletion, burnout, and emotional overwhelm Why rage often shows up at home and impacts your closest relationships The steps you can take to feel more stable, supported, and like yourself again   [WATCH ON YOUTUBE] ________________________________________________________ **BLACK FRIDAY SALE EXTENDED** Save $100 on a Perimenopause Clarity Session with me - a focused, personalized way to help you understand what's really going on in your body.
