Have you ever found yourself wondering, Is this it? I thought life would get easier by now. I thought I’d have more figured out. Maybe you’ve been feeling off, struggling with fatigue, stress, or unexpected changes in your body and wondering—is this midlife, perimenopause, or something else entirely?

This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Mikala Albertson, a family physician and the author of Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife: A Woman’s Guide to Health in the Body You Actually Have. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Mikala brings both her medical expertise and personal experience to help us navigate the complexities of midlife with grace and knowledge.

We discuss:
✔️ How to care for and find healing in the body you actually have
✔️ The impact of hormones, stress, and perimenopause on your daily life
✔️ The harmful effects of cultural and societal expectations on women's health
✔️ How shifting roles in work, relationships, and motherhood impact our well-being
✔️ Practical steps to prioritize preventive health and embrace this season with confidence

Midlife doesn’t have to be a season of frustration, confusion, or feeling like your body is working against you. There is beauty here, too. Dr. Mikala’s wisdom is both reassuring and empowering—reminding us that we’re not alone and that healing is possible.
