🎙️Episode 1: Welcome to the Chaos — Why Am I Yelling?

In this very first episode of Why Am I Yelling?, host Krista Rizzo pulls back the curtain on life as a middle-aged, menopausal mom who’s doing her best to navigate the hormonal rollercoaster, parenting teens, marriage, career pivots, and the relentless mystery of “what’s for dinner?” With her signature mix of humor, honesty, and heart, Krista shares why she launched this podcast, what listeners can expect, and why YELLING (metaphorically and sometimes literally) might just be the battle cry of an entire generation of women. Buckle up — this isn’t your mother’s midlife crisis. It’s loud, it’s real, and it’s about damn time we talked about it.
