She opens up about stress, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, and how many women are constantly stuck in “go mode” while ignoring what their bodies are trying to tell them. She explains why managing stress becomes even more important during perimenopause and menopause. Jenny also talks about the connection between stress, hormones, pain, sleep, and overall well-being, while sharing simple ways women can begin calming their nervous system without needing a full retreat. This episode is a reminder that rest is productive, slowing down is necessary, and taking care of yourself is not selfish—it’s essential for aging well and feeling your best.
