The Perri-Menopause Podcast

Perri and Lisa are two friends navigating perimenopause together, and they turned their candid conversations into a podcast that feels less like a health show and more like eavesdropping on a brutally honest chat between people who actually get it. The name is a play on words — it is a podcast about perimenopause hosted by a woman named Perri — and that playfulness runs through every episode. The show lands in the society and culture category rather than health and fitness, and that classification makes sense. This is not a clinical podcast. It is a personal one. Perri and Lisa talk about rage episodes in the supermarket, the weirdness of suddenly not recognizing your own body, the strain on relationships, the frustration of doctors who do not listen, and the black humor that comes with waking up drenched in sweat at 3 AM for the fifth night running. They do bring on expert guests — doctors, therapists, fitness coaches — but the core of the show is their own experience. Episodes run about 30 to 50 minutes. The chemistry between the two hosts is genuine, and the laughter is frequent. They are not afraid to be vulnerable, and that openness has built a community of listeners who feel seen. If the clinical menopause podcasts leave you wanting something that speaks to the emotional and social reality of the transition — the identity shift, the grief, the unexpected freedom — this is where you will find it. Messy, funny, real.
