Episode #109 — The Calm Before the Holiday Storm: Why Calm Has to Come First in Menopause

If the holidays leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, bloated, or "on edge" every year — it's not that you can't handle stress anymore. It's that your menopause nervous system can't absorb pressure the same way it used to.

In this episode, we break down why stress hits harder in midlife, how it impacts your hormones and metabolism, and what you can do right now to create the grounded, steady energy your body is craving before the holiday chaos begins.

This isn't about perfection, routines, or pushing through. It's about understanding how your cortisol, blood sugar, sleep, and nervous system all shift in menopause — and how creating calm first changes everything.

Whether you're dealing with cravings, mood swings, low energy, sleep disruptions, or that "always on" feeling, this is the episode that will help you find your footing again.

⭐ In this episode, you'll learn:

Why holiday stress feels heavier during perimenopause and menopause
The real reason your nervous system becomes more sensitive in midlife
How dysregulation leads to fatigue, cravings, bloating, and mood swings
What "calm" actually means biologically (and why it must come first)
Simple, realistic ways to regulate your system before the holidays
How small daily shifts help your hormones respond — not rebel
