If you haven’t listened to Part 1 (ep#218) yet - go do that first. Trust us.
That episode literally saved lives and marriages.
One year on, we’re back with an update.
In true Sam + Jo style, we’re diving in deep as we compare how differently this mid-life hormonal chaos showed up for Jo this time around.
Cos YES! Jo’s officially joined the perimenopause club! (Welcome, Jo. Membership includes night sweats, tears, and a newfound appreciation for magnesium haha).
In this episode it's Jo's turn to open up about her journey as someone who wanted to manage it naturally, and how much faster she found answers given the knowledge she was equipped with.
And Sam also shares what’s changed since her diagnosis a year ago, and how life looks on the other side of getting help.
This episode is for every woman who’s been told to “suck it up”, for every partner struggling to understand, and for everyone who deserves to feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why perimenopause doesn’t look the same for everyone.
- What happens when you stop fighting and start listening to your body.
- How knowledge and honesty can change everything.
- Why we need to stop whispering about women’s health and start shouting.
