JTS Perimenopause Therapy

11/03/2026

What does supporting a partner through perimenopause actually look like?

This week on The Midlife Double Take, my husband, Adam, joins me to talk about navigating this phase together. ❤️

We get into changing needs, taking care of ourselves, finding compassion when we’re irritated, and how the work we did in couples therapy has helped us through this chapter.

An honest conversation about being different now—and making room for that in a marriage.

Anyone else feeling a little witchier in midlife? Less people-pleasing, more speaking your mind, and considerably less patience for pretending? 🧙‍♀️✨

This week on Midlife Double Take, Carla and I talk about our favorite witches and what we love about them: confidence, authenticity, and the willingness to be themselves—even when other people don’t approve.

We also get into witch trials, women who challenge expectations, and our suspicion that we would’ve been hanging out with the accused. 😬🔥

And somehow…this is our 10TH EPISODE! 🎉 Ten conversations filled with laughter, honesty, and figuring out midlife together. Thank you for listening and being part of it. 💜

Listen or watch the new episode—and send it to your favorite fellow witch.

Happy World Menopause Day to those who "celebrate"!

This is me at the end of a work day, when one eye starts getting tired -- just one of the many new joys I've "welcomed" with this life phase 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

You can be showing up to therapy and still checking out when things hurt. We know, because we’ve been there.

In this clip, we share how alcohol became a way to avoid painful feelings—and how that showed up in our own healing.

An honest conversation about trauma, numbing, and getting curious about our coping. No shame required. 💛

🎙️ From our latest episode of Midlife Double Take: Alcohol & Midlife.

10/14/2026

Sometimes alcohol is less about celebrating and more about getting a break from what hurts.

In this clip, we talk honestly about using alcohol to cope with trauma—and recognizing when something we’ve relied on no longer works for us.

No shame. No requirement to hit rock bottom. “This doesn’t work for me anymore” is reason enough to make a change if you feel so compelled. 💛

🎙️ More on alcohol and midlife in the latest episode of Midlife Double Take.

When did a drink start requiring a recovery plan? 🍷

This week on Midlife Double Take, Carla and I talk about alcohol in midlife—and why we both chose to become sober.

We share what led to those decisions, how others responded (including our husbands!), and why drinking can feel different in a changing midlife body.

Whether you’re sober, sober curious, or reassessing whether the drink is worth the aftermath, there’s room for you in this conversation. And if alcohol isn’t hitting you any differently…what’s your secret? 😂

🎧 Our latest episode is up on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts!

Has your relationship with alcohol changed in midlife?

Carla’s dad finally got his Honor Flight. ❤️🇺🇸
After years on the waitlist, he got to make the trip—with Carla’s sister serving as his guardian (and taking that job VERY seriously 😂).
Such a special experience for their family, and such a beautiful way to honor the veterans who served. ❤️

Sometimes being the “bad guy” is exactly what your kid needs. 😂
Taking the phone at night gives kids an out—they don’t have to answer the text, manage the friend crisis, or be available to everyone at 1 a.m. They can simply say, “Sorry, my mom takes my phone.”
And honestly? Maybe we need the same boundary. 📱
We don’t have to be reachable 24/7 either. No phones in the bedroom might be good advice for all of us. ❤️

Okay but…when did AI start getting our personality? 😂
It remembers the way we talk, picks up on our sense of humor, and somehow knows when we need a little “you’ve got this.”
Useful? Absolutely. A little weird when it starts feeling like it knows you? Also yes. 😳
We’re talking about where AI can be helpful—and where the line between tool and relationship can start to get a little blurry.
