When Running Isn't Enough: My Shift Into Perimenopause

 For most of my life, running and fitness were my answer to everything. Stress? I ran it out. Heartbreak? I trained harder. Pressure from work and raising kids? Lacing up was my outlet. Movement was always the solution.

But then perimenopause hit — seemingly out of nowhere — and for the first time, I couldn’t outwork my body. The harder I pushed, the more it pushed back. Suddenly, my old strategies weren’t working, and I was faced with a reality that shocked me: to feel better, I needed to lean into the opposite of what I’d always done — more rest, more sleep, more recovery, and tools for relaxation.

In this episode, I share:
 💡 My raw experience with the sudden shift of perimenopause
 🏃‍♀️ How running went from my outlet to my wake-up call
 🛑 Why you can’t simply “out-train” hormonal changes
 🌱 What new strategies I’ve discovered to support performance, health, and sanity in this new season

If you’ve ever felt blindsided by perimenopause or frustrated that your go-to solutions suddenly stopped working, you’re not alone. This conversation is about honesty, adaptation, and finding new ways to thrive when your body changes the rules.
