I love to journal, and from time to time, I’ll share some of my entries with you. It’s a way for me to connect—with myself, and with you. Reflecting on my own journey through the ups and downs brings clarity, and maybe, as you read, you’ll recognize pieces of your own story too. There’s something powerful in knowing we’re not alone in our reflections, uncertainties, desires, and joys - woven through all the twists and turns this stage of life brings.
Stepping Into the Unknown – Building This Space for Us
When I first set out to build this website, I was filled with doubts. Would anyone find it? Would my words resonate? Could I really create a space that feels safe, supportive, and empowering for women in menopause?
The fear was real. Not just about the technology—which was a whole other intimating factor—but about stepping forward and saying, This is who I am. This is what I believe in. This is what I’m experiencing. This is how I want to help.
But something kept pulling me forward. The deep knowing that this journey isn’t meant to be walked alone.
As I worked through the process of creating this space, something shifted. I realized this isn’t just about a website. It’s about connection, conversation, and community. It’s about reaching the woman who feels lost in this phase, the one who’s looking for reassurance that she’s not alone, the one who just needs a reminder that she is strong, whole, and worthy – no matter what changes are happening in her body.
I have the time, passion, knowledge, and care to share, and I want to reach as many women as I can. Not because I have all the answers, but because I believe in the power of healing, in the wisdom we hold within, in the transformation that happens when we come together.
So here I am. Showing up. Creating. Trusting that our paths will cross at just the right time and
we will find one another in this space.
You are here now. Welcome. Let’s walk this journey together.
The Beauty of this Phase—And in Us
I may not be experiencing exactly what you are. In fact, chances are, I’m not. This transition brings its own unique shifts for every woman. Our bodies, our hormones, our emotions, they fluctuate in ways that are deeply personal.
But here’s what I do know. We are more alike than we believe!
We’ve all lived life—with its highs and lows, wins and losses, traumas and triumphs. And at the core of it all, we are here to heal.
Whether you’re feeling stressed and depleted, challenged by the unpredictability of your body, or navigating deep spiritual stirrings you weren’t expecting—all of it lands in the same space. A space of connection.
I’ve heard this idea before, many times. But to witness it, to feel it in real time, is breathtaking. It’s an energy beyond words, something powerful and contagious—something I want every woman to experience.
This is why I am more motivated than ever to spread the word; Perimenopause and Menopause are not the enemy!
When we embrace both the good and the challenging, when we allow ourselves to fully step into this phase, something incredible happens.
We see it—the beauty in this transition. The beauty in ourselves.
You Are Not Alone in This
Some days are hard. Some days are really, really hard. And I’ve learned that sometimes, the best thing we can do is just let it be—to feel the discomfort, the angst, the pain, worry, fear, and dread. To stop fighting it, stop pushing it away, stop judging it. Because when we let it move through us, it often does.
Like a wave, it rises, crashes, and eventually recedes.
But I’ve also learned something else. For some women, it doesn’t pass. And when it doesn’t, that’s not something to brush aside it’s a signal, one that deserves attention and care.
Hormonal imbalances in perimenopause and menopause are very real. They don’t just affect emotions. They change how we think, how we move, how we function.
When estrogen and progesterone decline too much or too fast, the shifts can be more than just mood swings. Sometimes, the sadness lingers, stretching beyond the usual ups and downs. Sometimes, the thoughts turn dark, heavy, hopeless. The anxiety becomes unbearable, the kind that feels like a weight pressing down on your chest. The brain fog gets so thick that simple things like following a conversation feels impossible. And the exhaustion? It’s not just being tired. It’s something deeper. A depletion that settles into your bones, making everything feel too hard.
These are not just “bad days.” They are signals. They are alarms for support.
If you find yourself feeling lost within yourself, unable to function, or stuck in darkness for too long, please know this:
You are not failing.
You are not broken.
You do not have to carry this alone.
Start by talking with your doctor. Let them know what’s happening. Hormonal shifts are not just emotional—they are physiological changes that deserve real attention and care.
And please, seek out support. Even if it’s just letting one person in - one trusted person who can listen, who can hold space, who can remind you that you are not alone in this.
