Episode Title:

The 10-Year Perimenopause Gaslight: Why Exhausted Women Are Being Misdiagnosed

Episode Description:

In this bold, truth-telling episode of Flourish Unfiltered: Ending Exhaustion for Working Moms, Misty Creaghe exposes one of the most common lies women are told — that exhaustion, mood swings, and low libido in your 30s or early 40s mean “you’re in perimenopause.”

But the truth? Most women in their 30s and even early 40s aren’t in hormonal decline — they’re in metabolic depletion. Misty breaks down how chronic stress, cortisol overload, blood sugar swings, and nutrient depletion can mimic perimenopause and why accepting this misdiagnosis can rob women of a decade of energy, confidence, and clarity.

You’ll learn:

🔥 What true perimenopause actually is — and when it begins

⚡ The real culprits behind “fake perimenopause” symptoms like fatigue, irritability, and anxiety

🧠 How chronic stress tricks your hormones and steals your energy

💬 Why so many women are dismissed instead of helped — and how to start investigating what’s really going on in your body

If you’ve ever been told “it’s just perimenopause,” this episode will help you see your symptoms through a new lens — one that leads to healing, not hopelessness.

✨ Flourish Step:

Ask yourself: Is this decline, or depletion?

Reflect on when your exhaustion truly started, what was happening in your life, and how you’ve been surviving instead of replenishing. Your body holds the truth that your labs and labels often miss.

🎙️ Episode 5: The 3 PM Crash — Why It Happens and How to Beat It

Do you hit that 3 PM wall where you’d give anything for a nap, another coffee, or something sweet to keep you going? You’re not alone — and it’s not just “being tired.” In this episode of Flourish Unfiltered: Ending Exhaustion for Working Moms, we’re unpacking the real reason behind the mid-afternoon crash and how to stop it before it starts.

Your body isn’t broken — it’s trying to tell you something. That daily crash is your blood sugar and stress rhythms out of sync. When you learn how to balance them, you’ll start feeling steady, focused, and in control all day long — no caffeine required.

✨ Here’s what we’ll cover:

What’s really happening during the 3 PM energy crash

How blood sugar dips and stress hormones create the perfect storm for exhaustion

Why your “healthy” snack might be making things worse

The best mid-afternoon reset for stable energy

How to naturally realign your stress rhythm so you feel calm, not wired

💡 Flourish Step: Swap your usual 3 PM snack (like coffee and a granola bar) for a simple combo of protein + carb — think Greek yogurt and berries, or turkey and apple slices. You’ll be amazed how steady your energy feels by dinner time.

If you’re tired of dragging through the afternoon and crashing before the evening even begins, this episode will help you reclaim your afternoons — and your sanity.
