Feeling more stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or "wired but tired" since hitting your 40s? You're not imagining it. In this episode, we explore the connection between cortisol, stress, and perimenopause, why your body may be responding differently to stress than it used to, and practical strategies to support your nervous system, improve sleep, and restore balance.
