About this listen

After watching K-Pop Demon Hunters, my daughters asked me if they “should want abs”… and that moment changed the entire direction of this episode.

Today we’re talking about meno belly — why your belly is changing in perimenopause, what’s actually happening biologically, and the stories we’ve carried since growing up as millennial girls raised on Friends, Ally McBeal, The O.C., and the Victoria’s Secret angels.

This episode isn’t about flattening your stomach.
It’s about healing your relationship with it — so we don’t pass our body shame down to our daughters.

Inside, we cover:

  • What “meno belly” really is
  • How hormones, stress, sleep, and muscle loss affect your midsection
  • The moment I caught myself judging my own body on the mat
  • A cultural reframe inspired by Pulp Fiction and Sarah Landry (@thebirdspapaya)

Next week, we’ll talk about how to support your metabolism in your 40s — without restriction or punishment.
