And that's a real problem because you can do everything right and still get blindsided by what perimenopause does to the people around you.

Perimenopause changes what you tolerate or what you're willing to tolerate.

What you no longer pretend is fine, things that maybe you managed for years and suddenly you're like, I'm not doing it anymore.

You know, I included relationships in a large portion of the book.

Like, you know, the first half of the book is really about these changes you're going through medically and, you know, solutions for them.

I went through my divorce in my 40s in the middle of all of this.

And I had no idea I was going through a lot of it.

I had no idea the shifts that were going on.

But I know this, the things that I refused to tolerate then were immense.
