Episode 23: The Midlife Stomach Truth: Letting Go of Shame & Embracing Style in Perimenopause (Part 1)

THIS is the conversation about our midlife stomachs that we really need to have. In this episode, I'm getting real about our complicated relationship with our stomachs during perimenopause. I'm diving into how we've been fed impossible beauty standards our entire lives and the unfair pressure to maintain flat stomachs even as our bodies naturally change. I share my own messy journey toward body neutrality and how it's affected my personal style and confidence in getting dressed. Look, our bodies change during midlife—that's not just normal, it's inevitable—and I'm tired of the shame that comes with trying to style a changing silhouette. This honest conversation is part one of a two-part series. Today we're shedding the shame, and next time I'll share practical styling tips and wardrobe solutions for dressing with confidence when your stomach shape has changed. Because we all deserve to feel good in our clothes, no matter what stage of perimenopause or body change we're experiencing. Did this resonate with you?
