73% Women Blame Menopause for Divorce | Perimenopause, Grief & Relationships (Shweta Vikram)

“Why do so many couples separate in midlife, and why don’t we connect it to perimenopause?” In this episode, Shweta Vikram explains how perimenopause is not just hormonal, it’s a nervous system + grief transition. Harmanjeet Rekhi (Founder, Global Menopause Collective) speaks with Shweta Vikram (New York), International award-winning author, Burnout & Grief Coach, Ayurveda Doctor, trauma-informed yoga practitioner, and host of The Grounded Leader Podcast. What we cover: ✅ Why our mothers went through menopause in silence (and how it shaped us). ✅ Perimenopause vs menopause: why most people don’t even know the difference. ✅ Anxiety → grief: what happens when the body can’t suppress unresolved emotions. ✅ Nervous system dysregulation: fight/flight vs rest/digest (sleep + digestion impact). ✅ Ayurveda lens: Ama (undigested residue) + Agni (digestive fire) during transitions. ✅ Why rest feels “illegal” (especially for South Asian women). ✅ Relationship strain + intimacy changes + tolerance dropping in midlife. ✅ A 2022 Family Law Menopause Project survey: 73% women blamed menopause for marriage breakdown. ✅ Two practical takeaways: build your tribe + have these conversations at home. If you’re navigating perimenopause, emotional overwhelm, grief, sleep issues, or relationship strain. This conversation will give you language, clarity, and relief. 🔔 Subscribe for honest conversations on burnout, menopause, ADHD, mental health & holistic wellbeing. 💬 Join our private community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BhdnSlG4q4E... 🔗 Connect with Harmanjeet on LinkedIn:   / harmanjeet-rekhi   #perimenopause #menopause #relationships #grief #ayurveda #globalmenopausecollective #harmanjeetrekhi ⚕️ Medical Advisory: The information shared in this video is for awareness and educational purposes only.
