Is This Normal? Your Most Asked Menopause Questions, Answered
New Year, New Questions: Let’s Talk About What’s Really Going On
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Is this normal?”, “Why can’t I cope like I used to?”, or “Am I the only one feeling this way?” , this episode is for you.
Our January podcast kicks off 2026 with something truly special: a community-led Q&A episode of Real, Honest, Messy Menopause where Hello Mimi co-founders Lucie and Lesley answer the real, raw, and often unspoken questions women send us every week.
Questions like:
“I feel like I’m losing my mind… is this normal?”
“Can perimenopause really start in your 40s?”
“Why do I feel so unmotivated and exhausted all the time?”
“How do I get my confidence back?”
“What are the first steps I can take to support myself?”
These aren’t just symptoms, they’re signals. And in this episode, we break them down with zero judgment and 100% context.
What You’ll Hear Inside This Episode
In this honest, supportive conversation, we explore:
Why brain fog and emotional overwhelm are more common than you think
How early perimenopause can begin and what the first signs really look like
Why building habits feels impossible when you’re burned out (and how to reset)
How to reconnect to confidence and body image in midlife
The very first steps we recommend when you think your hormones are shifting
This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you understand what’s happening in your body so you can move through this transition with compassion, clarity, and support.
