E121: The Spiritual Domain of Perimenopause

Perimenopause is more than a hormonal transition—it can also be a time of profound personal transformation. As the brain undergoes another period of change during midlife, many women find themselves reflecting on identity, purpose, relationships, and what comes next. Rather than signaling an ending, this stage of life may offer an opportunity for growth and renewal.

In the spiritual domain of perimenopause, Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, PhD, explore how women can approach this transition with curiosity instead of fear. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, literature, and years of caring for women in midlife, they discuss how our response to change can shape who we become.
