They explore what Stu saw in Peri & Pause early on, the parallels between military mission-focus and building a menopause care company, and the persistent midlife women’s health care gap he witnessed through his mother’s experience and Jamie’s own perimenopause. Stu describes how perimenopause can strain relationships when symptoms are misunderstood, emphasizes addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, and encourages partners to show patience, seek help, and support women through care that can improve families, work, and overall quality of life.\n00:00 Meet Stu Intro\n01:33 Military Roots\n03:17 Leaving Service\n04:47 Vision For Peri Pause\n06:10 Mission Parallels\n07:47 Care Gap Reality\n09:32 Partner Perspective\n13:40 Mom And Family Impact\n17:39 Advice For Partners\n18:31 Thick Skin and Support\n18:55 Men Asking for Help\n20:39 Building Together Talk\n22:51 Napkin to Launch\n23:58 Balancing Risk and Caution\n26:17 Mission Bigger Than Us\n28:06 Scaling the Impact\n30:11 Gratitude and Outro\n\n------\nThis podcast exists to normalize, explain, and elevate the midlife healthcare conversation—so women feel informed, believed, and empowered to demand better care for their bodies and lives.\nVisit https://periandpause.com for more info","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/blIqoXV8cJEwQkLxFiT2hhmzV5NFQ3SQUL8ePL6tRgE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wMGVj/M2RkYjA1MGExODEw/MzY2Mjk3NzUwODE5/MmNmNi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
