Seattle & Tacoma perimenopausal friends! What’s up? I offer workshops for validating, supporting and sign posting women towards the care they deserve and need…but first, pause, breathe, and rest. Women talking in a room, in person is powerful. Add your voice!

When estrogen starts marching out the door it can unravel you. Who am I, where is my mojo, why am I in pain everywhere, why don’t I seem to care about myself or my loved ones the way I used to, do I need to quit my job, can people tell that I’m losing it? www.meant-to-pause.com/post/hormone...

I think I cried a little reading this because it’s so DAMN GOOD! I have a teenager & she and I talk about where I’m at #perimenopause - it’s kinda beautiful that we see each other trying our best, even when our bitchy, tired selves are boss. Cant wait to share this with her @scarleteen.bsky.social
So You Want to Know About Menopause
If we have the idea that puberty or pregnancy are the only big body changes we’ll experience in life, and we come to perimenopause or menopause not understanding that they, too, are another big phase ...

So beautifully said @myblackmenopause.bsky.social ☀️🌗⭐️
If the sun loses its mass, the other planets will no longer exist. Take time for your #perimenopause #menopause sun mass, as the other planets orbiting you will be affected too. It’s important to prioritise yourself as well.

Absolutely both!!!
Time for another round of the fun game "Why did I wake up in the middle of the night last night?"--is it anxiety? Perimenopause? The rapid deconstruction of my country and our democracy?

Great article to understand how the movement for equity & access for #menopause care is under threat because of he who will not be named. Dr. Mosconi’s #book The Menopause Brain, is a fantastic & accessible lesson on the midlife transition that starts in the #BRAIN and not in the ovaries! 🤯 💙📚

Who needs a #hug today? This is an #oxytocin hug, stimulates this feel good #neurotransmitter that declines because of its relationship to declining #estrogen. People in #menopause transition worry they don’t feel like themselves & aren’t able to connect as easily with the people they love.

Is your workplace #menopause aware? Turns out one of the most unemployable segments of the population are 50+ year old women. We are absolute TREASURES and I’d argue more self-actualized than any other group of people because we HAVE to DO THE WORK to keep on keeping on!

I trained w Niamh Daly to become a #menopause yoga specialist. She’s just shared her deeply personal decision & path to starting HRT. It’s full of heart, informed decision making, logic and questioning. So vital for women to not just drink the #hrt cool aid and listen deeply. Bravo Niamh!
My Osteoporosis Journey (Diary of Reluctant HRT User, part 1) - Yinstinct Yoga Greystones Wicklow. Teacher training with Niamh Daly
“Why would you start HRT at 54-and-half, and happily free of menopause symptoms?” This is a good question.

Recorded a class for a friend today feeling #anxiety & #overwhelm of #perimenopause. Forgot how much I needed this. Slow movement & breath, opened hips & heart to release fear, restore energy & feel more like myself again. Many paths for symptom relief #hrt but how many can soothe like this?

The influence of HRT / MHT in the #perimenopause and #menopause conversation is undeniable. However, we must ensure that the benefits of HRT/ MHT don’t lead to the social rejection or devaluation of those who choose not to or cannot follow the HRT narrative.

There’s beauty in everything we experience, even during #perimenopause #menopause. It’s all about adjusting your perception - you can either cry in the storm or dance in the rain. Embrace the journey.
