Today, we’re tackling a topic that’s often misunderstood, overlooked, and—let’s be honest—surrounded by a whole lot of misinformation: PERIMENOPAUSE. 🔥 If you’ve ever found yourself suddenly drenched in sweat at 3 AM, snapping at your loved ones for no reason, or wondering why your body feels like it’s running its own rebellious experiment… you are NOT alone. 🚨 Now, imagine dealing with all of that while working a high-stress, demanding job—where there’s no room for brain fog, mood swings, or exhaustion. Whether you’re working in the yachting industry that expects you to be ‘on’ 24/7, or managing a business, perimenopause can feel like an uphill battle. 💡 That’s why today, we’re not just talking about it—we’re bringing in reinforcements! We’re joined by health coach Claudia Petrilli, who’s here to help us understand what’s really happening in our bodies and how we can manage perimenopause without losing our sanity (or our jobs!). 🎧 So get comfy, grab your favorite drink (whether it’s coffee, tea, or a stiff cocktail—no judgment here), and let’s get into it.
