Did I Just Burst Into Flames in the Produce Aisle? (Yes. Yes, I Did.)

Picture it: You’re in the grocery store, minding your business in the kale section, when suddenly - your internal thermostat goes rogue. Your face turns beet red, sweat breaks out in places that should never glisten in public, and you start stripping off layers like you’re auditioning for Magic Midlife Mike.

Congratulations. You’ve officially joined the hot flash club.

In this week’s episode of the Midlife WTF podcast, I dive into the glamorous world of hot flashes - the spontaneous combustion of womanhood and the reason we now carry personal fans in our purses like it’s 1847.

We’re talking:

• What hot flashes actually are (besides rude)

• Why your brain suddenly thinks you’re on fire

• How to survive the sweaty aftermath (a.k.a. why full-body deodorant now exists)

• What actually helps - from hormone therapy to cooling products to dressing like you’re prepping for both Alaska and Florida

  
  

And yes, I offer practical advice. But I also offer solidarity- because if you’ve ever peeled off your parka while still wearing your seatbelt going 80 on the highway, you deserve a trophy. Or at least a podcast episode dedicated to your experience.

🎧 Listen now: Hot Flashes – AKA Why Did I Just Burst Into Flames in the Produce Aisle?

So give it a listen—share it with your partner, your bestie, or your favorite Gen Z coworker who has no idea what’s coming. And remember: You’re not crazy. You’re just hot.

Literally.
