Substacks recommended by Lilly Mercer | Stories to Protect Your Buzz

Recommended by Lilly Mercer

For moms 40+ who are tired, ragey, and convinced they're failing. You're not failing. You're dysregulated. And that's exactly what we fix here.

Erika is the best. She teaches women how to understand and navigate perimenopause. I yell, "WHAT THE F*CK IS HAPPENING?" at my ceiling fan while sticking my head in the freezer. Different approaches. Same journey. 🔥😂🫶🏼 If you're a woman over 40, I highly recommend Erika Glover. ❤️
