In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what it feels like when your body stops responding the way it used to and how perimenopause has shifted my experience as both an athlete and a coach.

This is not a deep dive into hormone science.

Instead, this is a conversation about:

Sleep changes
Weight fluctuations
Mood shifts (and yes…rage 😅)
Random joint aches
Focus + memory issues
Nausea, dizziness, and fatigue
And the mental side of feeling like you can’t “control” outcomes the way you used to

We talk about what happens when:

Effort doesn’t guarantee results
The same training produces different outcomes
You can’t win by simply pushing harder
Your old training templates stop working

And most importantly: how to adapt.

I share what I’m personally changing in my own training right now:

Prioritizing sleep above everything
Condensing strength work for better return on investment
Adjusting fueling quantity (especially post-200 miler life)
Using mobility work to understand what my body can and can’t currently tolerate
Letting go of the need to control everything

If you’re in this phase or even wondering if you might be, I hope this episode helps normalize what can feel isolating and frustrating.
