Confessions Of A Perimenopausal Coach With Teenagers
In this episode, I share what the last season of my life has really felt like behind the scenes.
Perimenopause. Teenagers. Grief. Brain fog. Exhaustion. Sugar. Emotional overwhelm. Trying to hold everybody whilst quietly wondering… “What is happening to me?”
Because there came a point where I realised:
“This is not normal.”
Not from drama.
Not from crisis.
Just me… standing in the cheese aisle… trying not to cry.
This conversation is honest, emotional, messy, practical and deeply hopeful.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop pretending you’re fine and finally support yourself like you matter too.
And sometimes?
A few small decisions can change everything.
