Did Menopause Destroy My Marriage? With Stacey Duguid
What happens when the loneliness and libido spikes in midlife drive you to “crash out” of your marriage? In this week’s episode of Is It Hot in Here? Dr Naomi Potter is joined by Fashion Editor and artist Stacey Duguid. In this raw conversation, Stacey explains how she “went looking for attention” and found it, her marriage ended in chaos, she “wrecked her financial future”, moved house and had a breakdown, all while unknowingly experiencing perimenopause. Together, Naomi and Stacey explore the complex impact of hormonal changes, and how an increased sex drive can be as difficult and destructive as its opposite. Is there a scientific explanation behind Stacey’s choices? Could an earlier diagnosis or menopause care have changed her path? What do other women need to know? Whether you’re in the thick of perimenopause yourself, supporting someone who is, or just beginning to wonder what this stage of midlife might bring — this episode is filled with insight, reassurance, and practical advice to help you feel more prepared and less alone.
