Episode 116: Menopause Changed Me in Unexpected Ways but God Met Me There - Kate Robinson, Part 2

In Part 2 of our conversation with Kate, she shares the spiritual, emotional, and physical toll of perimenopause - and how God met her in the midst of it. From severe memory loss (so intense she thought she had early-onset dementia) to anger, severe joint pain and identity shifts, this season tested everything: her mind, her faith, and her marriage.

But through it all, Kate clung to the Lord. She learned to lament, to lean on scripture (2 Chronicles 20:12), and to surrender what she couldn’t control. This episode offers practical wisdom for women preparing for menopause - and deep encouragement for those walking through it right now. Thank you Kate!
