What happens when a woman whose career depends on confidence and saying the right thing, suddenly loses both?

For journalist Shelly Horton, perimenopause didn’t arrive with hot flushes at first. It showed up as anxiety, heart palpitations, crushing self-doubt, and moments of forgetting simple words while at work.

In this deeply honest episode, Dr Shauna Watts speaks with Shelly about her journey through the ups and (many) downs of the perimenopause.

From being dismissed by doctors to the quiet suffering of high-functioning women felt by many in midlife. Shelly shares how the right support and hormone treatment helped her find herself again - and why she’s now using her voice to make sure other women don’t feel invisible.
