35. The Many Moods of Menopause

🎙️ Hot Flash Chronicles – Episode: The Many Moods of Menopause 😤😂😩 One minute you’re laughing, the next you’re crying, and then suddenly… rage-cleaning your kitchen. Welcome to menopause.

In this honest, relatable, and unfiltered episode, Angie and Shelly talk about the unpredictable rollercoaster that is menopausal moods. From irritability and sadness to weird moments of unexpected joy and total apathy, they’re unpacking it all—the science, the stigma, and the surprising freedom that comes with this season of life.

🔥 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

💫 It’s Not Just You – Why your emotions feel cranked up to 15 and how hormones hijack your calm.

🧠 Puberty Part Two – How menopause is basically another round of “figure your brain out all over again.”

😅 The Brain Fog is Real – When you can’t remember basic words (like Seth Rogen’s name) and why it’s not early dementia, it’s hormones.

🚫 People Pleasing No More – How menopause flips the switch on caring what other people think, and why Angie officially hung up her “good girl” cape.

🌊 The Emotional Highs and Lows – Some days you’re totally fine, some days it’s mini meltdowns, and sometimes you’re crying because you ran out of bread.

🧘 Grace, Humor, and Community – Why finding your people is essential, and how laughing your way through menopause makes it slightly more bearable.
