See Her Now Podcast with Tricia Rose Stone
What happens when your body begins to change—and the version of yourself you’ve always known suddenly feels different?
For so many women, perimenopause and menopause arrive during an already transformative season of life.
Our bodies change. Our hormones shift. Our energy may feel different. Sleep, mood, confidence, weight, relationships, and even the way we see ourselves can begin to change.
But what if this season isn’t simply something to manage or get through?
What if it’s also an invitation to understand yourself differently?
In this episode of See Her Now, I’m joined by Alison Bladh, a registered nutritional therapist and menopause specialist, for a conversation about what is really happening in our bodies during perimenopause and menopause—and how we can support ourselves through it with greater understanding, compassion, and intention.
Because authentic integration isn’t only about honoring who you are emotionally.
It’s also about honoring the body carrying you into your next chapter.
Together, Alison and I explore the hormonal shifts happening during midlife, why symptoms can vary so dramatically from woman to woman, and the lifestyle and nutritional choices that can help us feel stronger and more supported during this transition.
We also talk about something that often gets overlooked:
The emotional experience of becoming a new version of yourself.
Midlife can ask us to release expectations about how we should look, feel, or function—and begin listening more closely to what our bodies actually need now.
This isn’t about trying to become the woman you were ten or twenty years ago.
It’s about learning how to support—and honor—the woman you are becoming.
