Eps 397: How Sleep Loss Impacts Your Body, Brain and Mood In Perimenopause

Feeling more overwhelmed, more emotional, or struggling with energy lately?
Let me ask you this… how has your sleep been?

As we continue our Get Some Sleep mini-series, I want to unpack something most women never realize: sleep deprivation doesn’t just make you tired, it quietly spills into your hormones, metabolism, mood, and even your relationships.

In this conversation, we zoom out and explore how midlife hormone shifts and nervous system stress can amplify the impact of poor sleep in ways many women don’t expect. I also share why your body naturally becomes more sensitive in your 40s and 50s and why that sensitivity isn’t a weakness, but an important signal. Most importantly, we start unpacking how to listen to what your body may be saying through sleep deprivation.

Press play and let’s decode what your body has been trying to tell you.
