74. Caring for Aging Parents While Navigating Perimenopause: What No One Talks About

74. Caring for Aging Parents While Navigating Perimenopause: What No One Talks About

In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia opens up about a side of midlife that rarely gets discussed: what it's really like to care for aging parents, while navigating your own hormone shifts, emotions, and identity.

She shares a personal story about supporting her mom after hip surgery, how losing her dad shaped her perspective on forgiveness, and why so many women in their 70s are now facing serious health issues, due to the fallout of the WHI study and lack of hormone therapy access.

Claudia also talks about the hard (but necessary) conversation she had with her mom about end-of-life planning…and why getting clear now can prevent stress and heartache later.

A raw, reflective episode that will hit home for any woman feeling the weight of midlife caregiving and a powerful reminder to take care of your health now.

In this episode, Claudia discusses:

  • The emotional and physical demands of midlife caregiving
  • Why she chose to forgive her father before he passed and what that taught her
  • The ripple effects of the WHI study on women's health and quality of life
  • Stats on bone loss, dementia, sleep issues & metabolic decline in women over 40
  • The evolving relationship with her mom: from frustration to compassion
  • How planning ahead for death can make space for grieving, instead of chaos
