“Mid life is not a crisis. It is a beautiful awakening’
There is a frustrating lack of information out there to support women through the physical, mental and emotional changes of perimenopause and mid life. While I’m not an expert, I have deep lived experience - from heavy periods, to a myectomy, to a hysterectomy and hormone replacement therapy - and I have a lot of thoughts on the topic.
Today I’ll share what my journey in perimenopause has looked like, and why I believe that perimenopause is not a crisis, but an invitation to beautifully blossom into the second half of your life.
Today on WithIn:
The unexpected path I took to having a myomectomy and then later a hysterectomy
How my emotional landscape changed in the aftermath of my hysterectomy
How I recreated my connection to my womb space
Why I decided to pursue hormone replacement therapy post-hysterectomy despite my OB saying I ‘wasn’t a candidate’
The ‘art’ of finding the right hormone dosage: Hormones 101
How sobriety and lifestyle changes that have helped me through perimenopause
The gifts that perimenopause can bring into your life
