Most women enter perimenopause alone. Without a map. Without anyone having told them the truth about what was coming — not just the symptoms, but the identity shift, the grief, the unexpected gifts, and the particular kind of loneliness that comes from feeling like your own body has become a stranger.

Today, that changes.

This is the first Wisdom in the Room — the segment of Wildfire I have been looking forward to most. Three real women. One honest conversation. The kind that most of us have never been invited into.

Together we talk about what perimenopause has felt like in their bodies, their relationships, and their sense of self. What has been hard. What has surprised them. What they are learning — slowly, sometimes painfully, sometimes with unexpected grace — to trust.

This is not an expert panel. This is something more valuable than that. This is women who know their own story, and who have the courage to speak it.

Pull up a chair. The room is full.

In this episode:

• What it actually feels like when your body starts to change in ways nobody prepared you for
• The relationship impacts that rarely get talked about
• The moment each woman knew something was shifting — and what she did with that
• What they wish someone had told them earlier
• What perimenopause is taking — and what it is quietly giving
