Grace First: A Woman’s Path Through Perimenopause with Sheridan Ruth

In this episode, Sheridan Ruth and Nelle unpack why women hit emotional walls and how six intentional minutes can shift everything.

Listen to this episode on:

Are you holding everything together at work, only to fall apart at home? You’re not broken. Your nervous system is just keeping score.

In this episode, nervous system specialist and bestselling author Sheridan Ruth joins Nelle Tamar-Manuel in the Peri Moon podcast for a conversation that goes far beyond wellness tips. Together, they explore why women in perimenopause so often hit a wall, what’s really happening when you snap at the people you love most, and how shifting the story you tell yourself can change everything in as little as six minutes.

Sheridan shares practical tools from her book rooted in polyvagal theory, a raw moment about hustle culture being rewarded at a black-tie gala, and one question that stopped the host mid-conversation: “How would you move through this if you knew you were enough?”

Whether you’re deep in perimenopause or simply exhausted by a world that keeps rewarding hustle, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
