Perimenopause doesn’t just affect a woman’s body—it can affect her mood, confidence, mental health, intimacy, and the way she connects with the people she loves.

In this episode of The Next Level NP Podcast, I’m joined by Jamie Jones, FNP, PMHNP, owner of Intentional Wellness Solutions, for a conversation about what happens when hormones begin showing up in our relationships.

As both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner—and a woman who has experienced perimenopause herself—Jamie brings a unique perspective to the connection between hormones and mental health.

We talk about irritability, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, changes in libido and intimacy, body image, weight, communication, and what can happen when a woman simply says, “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

We also discuss Jamie’s remarkable personal health journey, including maintaining a 140-pound weight loss for more than a decade, why sustainable health is about far more than willpower, and the importance of considering hormone health earlier—not just when symptoms become unbearable.

This conversation is for women navigating perimenopause, the people who love them, and healthcare providers who want to better understand the whole woman sitting in front of them.
