What You Need To Know About: Perimenopause and Motherhood
Hi mama.
Today, I'm diving into a topic that doesn't get enough attention: mothering during perimenopause. This is something I've been exploring lately, both through my own experiences and those of the incredible women I work with, so I wanted to shed some light on this often overlooked phase that so many of us may be navigating without even realising it.
In this episode, I discuss:
- The hormonal changes that occur during this transition period leading up to menopause.
- How these changes can impact our mind and body, especially when we're raising young children.
- The common symptoms, signs and feelings of perimenopause.
- The power of understanding what is happening in our bodies and how that can help us approach this phase with more self-compassion.
- My own journey of noticing hormonal shifts throughout my cycle and how understanding them has made a difference in how I navigate my relationships and daily life.
- Drawing connections between the transitions of matrescence and perimenopause.
I hope this episode brings some comfort and insight into your journey. Remember, mama, knowledge is power and you're not alone.
