About this listen
If you’ve felt more anxious, reactive, or emotionally raw during perimenopause—and wondered if something is “wrong” with you—this episode offers the context you were never given.
In this episode of The Embodied Empath Podcast, Valerie Lundgren explains how hormonal shifts during perimenopause directly impact the nervous system, lowering emotional thresholds and intensifying panic, rage, and sensory overwhelm—especially for empaths and highly sensitive women.
You’ll learn why these changes aren’t a loss of control but a biological and neurological recalibration, how emotional labor and identity shifts compound nervous system stress, and why rage is often a boundary signal—not a flaw. The episode includes a gentle somatic practice to safely release anger and regulate your system in real time.
This conversation is about understanding your body, not fixing yourself—and learning how to move through this transition with clarity and self-trust.
