Perimenopause doesn’t happen in a vacuum — it happens inside relationships.In this episode of Make More Love Not War, Terah Harrison, LPC sits down with Julie Parana, Occupational Therapist, Women’s Health Specialist, and Menopause Coach (known online as @themenoot / “The Menopause OT”), joined by Terah’s husband Jeff Harrison, for an honest conversation about how couples navigate perimenopause together.We talk about:
It’s about understanding what’s happening — and learning how to adapt together.
- What women in perimenopause need most — and why this has to come first
- What partners often wish they understood but don’t know how to say
- How couples can reduce conflict when hormones and stress collide
- Why nervous system regulation is the foundation for everything else
- How men can take care of themselves while supporting their partner
- And the big question: Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
It’s about understanding what’s happening — and learning how to adapt together.
