What if you were spiraling into depression, suffering through unexplained symptoms, and your doctor told you to “take up a hobby”?
That’s exactly what happened to journalist and media personality Shelly Horton - until she discovered the real culprit: perimenopause. In this raw, hilarious and eye-opening episode, Lisa sits down with TV journalist and author Shelly Horton, who’s flipping the script on hormone health with her new book, I'm Your Peri Godmother.
Shelly shares her personal crash into perimenopause, the misdiagnoses that almost broke her, and the recovery journey that brought her back to life - HRT, therapy and all.
Together, Lisa and Shelly talk honestly about symptoms, solutions, stigma, and the power of saying no to shame… and yes to naps, zero days, and looking damn good in a bikini.
This episode is equal parts educational and empowering. If you’ve ever cried on the kitchen floor wondering, “Is this burnout or something more?”, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn:
✨The perimenopause symptoms no one talks about (and how to spot them)
✨What HRT actually is, and how to know if it’s right for you
✨The magic of zero days, sleep rituals, and saying no
✨How to stop caring what other people think and start showing up bolder
✨The science behind 3am wakeups (hint: it’s not just anxiety)
