It’s 3 p.m. and your third (or is it fourth?!) coffee isn’t even touching the sides. You’re bone-tired, feeling like you’re living in a fog, no matter how much you sleep, it never feels like enough. (Though let’s be honest, in perimenopause, decent sleep feels like a fantasy anyway!)

If you feel like you’re dragging yourself through mud day after day, and your blood tests look normal, these 5 clues might finally explain why.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Why “normal” blood tests miss the real reasons for your crushing fatigue
  • 5 hidden drivers of exhaustion in perimenopause
  • What you can actually do to change things without giving up your whole life

This episode will help you connect the dots behind that relentless, no-matter-how-much-you-sleep exhaustion, and give you practical, doable ideas to get your spark back and feel more like your usual self again.

SNEAK PEEK:

“…too often, feeling tired is dismissed as 'standard' for women, especially those over 40 in perimenopause or menopause. Even when tests are run, standard blood test ranges catch full-blown diseases, not the subtle shifts affecting your energy, mood, and metabolism years before a clear diagnosis.”

If you’re done dragging yourself through each day on autopilot, this is your chance to figure out what’s actually going on.

🎧 Listen now to learn the 5 clues behind your perimenopause exhaustion, and what to do about them so you can finally feel like yourself again.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
