Two hormone-ravaged brains under one roof? No one warned us about this!

Perimenopause is hard enough on its own - now level it up by adding in a teenage daughter going through puberty, and suddenly, your house feels like a hormonal war zone. Mood swings, tears, interrupted sleep, emotional outbursts over things that make no sense… sound familiar?

The good news? The same things that support your perimenopausal hormones can also support hers. And in this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to make that happen.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to reduce the chaos in your house by supporting both your hormones and your daughter’s, without crazy diets, strict rules, or meal-time battles.
  • The #1 food mistake that makes perimenopausal symptoms (and puberty mood swings) worse, and what to do instead to keep blood sugar and hormones stable.
  • The truth about the “vegan trap” in puberty and perimenopause - why iron and calcium matter more than you think, and how to make sure you’re both getting enough.

Sneak Peek:

“Two hormone-ravaged brains in the one house, but only one of you gets the luxury of extra sleep. And spoiler… it’s not you.”

If you’re feeling exhausted from riding this hormonal rollercoaster alongside your daughter, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with simple, practical steps to support both of you - without overcomplicating meals, stressing over food, or adding another thing to your already full plate.

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.
