How Men Can Support Women Through Perimenopause

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi and Dr. Vohn Watts sit down with John Busch, for an honest, often funny, and deeply important conversation about relationships during perimenopause and menopause.   They unpack what many couples struggle with but rarely talk about: how hormonal changes impact emotional regulation, intimacy, identity, and communication — and why so many men unintentionally make this season harder by trying to “fix” instead of support.   This episode explores what safety actually means to women, why appreciation and presence matter more than solutions, how men can show up without ego, and how couples can navigate changing roles, expectations, and bodies without resentment. It’s a powerful reminder that this stage of life isn’t the beginning of the end — it’s an opportunity to build a deeper, more connected relationship if both partners are willing to grow.   If you’re a woman who feels unseen, or a man who genuinely wants to do better but doesn’t know how, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical insight. 00:00 — Welcome to The Shift 01:30 — Introducing the Guests 04:00 — Why This Conversation Matters 07:00 — Perimenopause and Relationships 10:30 — What Men Miss 14:00 — Identity Shifts for Women 17:30 — Emotional Changes Explained 21:00 — Why Men Take It Personally 24:30 — Communication Breakdowns 28:00 — Creating Safety 31:30 — Stop Trying to Fix 35:00 — Appreciation vs Solutions 39:00 — Intimacy Changes 43:00 — Weight, Body Image 47:00 — Loving Without Fixing 51:00 — What Men Actually Need 55:00 — Showing Up Daily 59:00 — Modeling for Kids 01:03:00 — Healthy Relationships 01:07:00 — Final Advice
