The Other “P” Word

There are certain things you wish you knew at the altar, but if you knew them, you may be either so thrilled, it would be too much to hold all at once, or…

Other things that would have made you just may just go running!

Isn't that life? We can't know the future because it is both too wonderful and terrible to bear.

One thing is sure, most couples don't hear about perimenopause in pre-marital counseling and if they did, it would be hard to pay attention anyway!

For those of you who aren't familiar with the term yet, what is this strange new p-word to add to the rarely discussed "hormone" category in pre-marital counseling?

Perimenopause is the twenty year span before menopause that women ages 35-55 often experience. Symptoms vary, and we cover them on this show!

Here, whether you've had children or not, post-baby body preparations shift and need to be addressed, especially when couples find themselves with strange symptoms they may not feel comfortable discussing.

And yes, I said couples because this is an issue I hope couples will discuss strategically, not just women, since after all, we are better together as we walk through seasons of life. If you need more support here, consider getting a coach or trusted friend to talk with!

I'm so glad we had a chance to talk with someone who literally specializes in only this area, Bria the Period Whisperer, who has appeared on Fox News and so many other channels and stages as well, to grace others with her wisdom.
