Have you noticed changes in your sleep? Do you sometimes feel more anxious than usual? Today, Jay sits down with Emmy award&ndash;winning journalist and bestselling author Tamsen Fadal to open up one of the most overlooked conversations in health and wellness: menopause. Tamsen shares her personal journey of confusion, discovery, and advocacy, breaking down why menopause has been shrouded in taboo for so long and how it impacts not just women&rsquo;s bodies, but their emotions, relationships, and careers. Together, they explore the often-hidden symptoms of perimenopause, from brain fog and anxiety to disrupted sleep and loss of confidence, and how these challenges spill over into every aspect of life. Tamsen explains the science behind the hormonal shifts, debunks the biggest myths, and reveals practical solutions, from lifestyle changes and stress management to hormone therapy and community support. Most importantly, she reminds women that their best years are not behind them, but ahead. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Spot Early Signs of Perimenopause How to Differentiate Perimenopause from Menopause How to Support Your Family Through Menopause How to Build Healthy Midlife Habits How to Find Community During Transition How to Advocate for Yourself at the Doctor&rsquo;s Office Every transition comes with challenges, but it also carries the possibility of growth, wisdom, and renewal. By breaking the silence, sharing our experiences, and embracing knowledge, we not only lighten the weight for ourselves but also create space for others to feel seen and understood.&nbsp; With Love and Gratitude, Jay Shetty Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.
