This week on Intentionally B U, we’re breaking the silence and tackling a topic that many women are silently struggling with: menopause.

From sudden hot flashes, mood swings, and unexplained weight gain to deep emotional lows—these symptoms are real, and they’re affecting women everywhere, often without warning or diagnosis.

In this episode, I share my personal journey with menopause—how I discovered what was really going on in my body, how my symptoms were misdiagnosed or overlooked, and why it’s time for us as women to speak up, get educated, and stop suffering in silence.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The common symptoms of menopause—and how they can easily be mistaken for something else

• Why women often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years

• My personal story of discovering I was in full-blown menopause

• The emotional, mental, and physical impact of menopause

• The importance of hormone therapy, supplements, and self-advocacy

• Why open conversation and community are crucial for healing

• Encouragement for women who feel alone, confused, or overwhelmed

📖 Encouragement for the Journey:

"You are not broken. You are evolving. And even through the heat, the hormones, and the changes—you are still YOU."

You don’t have to live in the dark about your body. You deserve answers, support, and healing—and we’re doing this together, one honest conversation at a time.
