Perimenopause symptoms don’t exist in a vacuum. In this episode, Francesca explores why stress, including the hidden stress of living out of alignment, can dramatically worsen perimenopause symptoms. Rather than seeing this phase as something going “wrong,” she reframes perimenopause as a powerful magnifying glass, revealing where the nervous system is overwhelmed, boundaries are missing, and life needs recalibration. This is an honest, grounding conversation about why pushing harder backfires in midlife, and how listening more deeply can change everything.
