In this empowering episode of Come Full Circle with Shannon, host Shannon Farrar sits down with nationally board-certified health coach and menopause expert Karen Cerezo to unpack the often-overlooked experience of perimenopause and midlife transformation.

Karen shares her powerful story of leaving a 17-year teaching career to become a wellness expert—and how menopause symptoms rocked her world at age 46, despite being at the peak of her health. From brain fog and weight gain to anxiety, libido loss, and mystery symptoms like vaginal dryness and heart palpitations—Karen reveals the real deal about what’s happening in women’s bodies during perimenopause.

Together, Shannon and Karen talk candidly about:

Why perimenopause is still misunderstood—even by doctors
How to advocate for yourself in a medical system that often dismisses women’s pain
What actually works: evidence-based strategies for hormone balance, movement, and mindset
Why “powering through” is not the answer
The importance of sisterhood, self-compassion, and slowing down

Whether you’re in your 40s, 50s, or just want to understand the female body better, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and ready to reclaim your health and joy in midlife.
