Perimenopause and menopause can bring major changes to a woman’s body — but understanding what’s happening with your hormones can make all the difference.

On this episode of Next to Madison, I sit down with Dr. Christina Enzmann to talk all things women’s health, hormones, perimenopause, and menopause. We break down what women should know as their hormones begin to shift, the symptoms that are often overlooked or misunderstood, and how these changes can impact everything from sleep and energy to mood, weight, sex drive, and overall well-being.

We also dive into hormone replacement therapy, what women should be asking their doctors, and why taking a proactive approach to your health during this stage of life is so important.

Whether you’re already experiencing perimenopause, approaching menopause, or simply want to better understand your body and hormones, this conversation is packed with information every woman should hear.

What does it actually look like to make God a bigger part of your everyday life—and can faith help us navigate anxiety, depression, fear, and uncertainty?

In this episode of Next to Madison, I sit down with Dr. Clay Stauffer, Senior Minister at Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville, for an honest conversation about faith, prayer, and learning to let go of the things we can’t control.

We talk about how to build a stronger relationship with God, how to pray when you don’t know what to say, and how to discern whether something in your life is truly meant for you. Dr. Stauffer also shares his perspective on anxiety, depression, manifestation, finding peace during difficult seasons, and why surrendering control can sometimes be one of the hardest—and most freeing—things we can do.

We also get into the division and negativity in the world today and how faith can help us approach people with more grace, compassion, and understanding.

Whether your faith is already a big part of your life or you’re simply looking for more peace, purpose, and direction, this conversation offers a thoughtful reminder that we don’t have to navigate everything alone.
