Episode Menopause Didn’t Make Me Crazy. It Exposed What I Was Already Carrying. Solo Episode with Lisa Lacy
What happens when menopause doesn’t create the crisis, but exposes everything your mind and body have spent decades carrying?
Lisa Lacy, writer and host of Notes From the Edge, explores how surgical menopause collided with a lifetime of trauma, recovery, psychiatric diagnoses, chronic illness and survival.
After having her ovaries unexpectedly removed at 45, Lisa experienced rage, panic, depression, insomnia, brain fog and an unsettling loss of identity. In this solo episode, she examines what happens when hormonal change collides with years of stored stress, hypervigilance and survival patterns, and why women deserve more than being told they’re “just hormonal.”
In this episode:
• Surgical menopause and mental health • Trauma activation and survival patterns • Rage, anxiety, depression and identity loss • Medical dismissal in midlife women • High-functioning survival and performance • Why menopause can expose what was already there
