  • Guess Who’s Back: Perimenopause, Divorce & Toddler Drama

    Guess Who’s Back: Perimenopause, Divorce & Toddler Drama
    May 15 2025

    Hey y’all! It’s Janae, and yes—I’m finally back on the mic!

    In this first episode of the season, I’m unpacking what happened during my unplanned podcast break and why life decided to come at me from all angles at once:

    💔 Divorce recovery and figuring out co-parenting

    😩 Perimenopause symptoms that had me sweating through my teacher shirts

    👩🏽‍🏫 Teacher burnout that left me crying in the parking lot

    🍼 Raising Christian (who may or may not run the house now)

    You’ll laugh, nod, maybe cry a little, but most of all—you’ll feel seen. This is real talk for women who didn’t plan to be here, but are still showing up every day.
