Today on It's Hot and It's Me, we sat down with Petite Lorena to talk about menopause, perimenopause, and women's health with something that doesn't usually appear in Google searches for symptoms: humor, truth, and zero shame.

Because yes, we talked about hot flashes, insomnia, brain fog, mood swings, raging hormones, and that disconcerting moment when you ask yourself, "What's happening to my body?" But we also talked about ageism, beauty standards, self-esteem, and how society continues to treat menopause as if it were the end... when in reality, it's just another transformation.

Petite Lorena tells it with the honesty, irony, and laughter that many of us need when going through this stage. Because when you start talking about menopause without filters, you realize something important: you're not the only one who can't sleep, who gets emotional suddenly, or who feels like their body is changing without an instruction manual.

🎙️🔥 An episode about hormones, self-esteem, body image, sleep, emotional health, and beauty pressures, but also about community, relief, and a powerful idea: seeing ourselves as more beautiful and treating ourselves with more love.

Because talking about menopause doesn't have to be uncomfortable.

It can be liberating, necessary… and very, very fun.
