If you’re in your 40s or 50s and wondering why your body feels like it’s changing overnight, you are not imagining it. One minute you’re juggling kids, work, and family life—and the next you’re wide awake at 3 AM, drenched in sweat, moody, and exhausted. Welcome to perimenopause. 👉 Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause when estrogen and progesterone levels start fluctuating (sometimes for up to 10 years). These hormone shifts can bring on symptoms like hot flashes, poor sleep, anxiety, weight gain, mood swings, and brain fog. Now here’s the kicker: alcohol makes every single one of those symptoms worse. And that’s why today’s episode is so important. I asked Kate Baily—author, coach, speaker, and certified Menopause Doula, as well as co-author of Love Yourself Sober and Love Your Sober Year—to share how you can navigate midlife and perimenopause without relying on wine to cope. Kate is nine years sober, and she’s built her coaching work around helping women in midlife handle the physical, emotional, and hormonal changes that can feel like a perfect storm. Midlife is not a crisis. With the right tools, it can be a turning point—a time to reset, find your strength, and step into your next chapter alcohol-free.
