The holidays can bring up a wide range of emotions, not all of them joyful. In this short episode, I talk about giving yourself permission to feel whatever you’re feeling this season and leaning into compassion and self-love.

In this episode, I talk about something I’ve been noticing a lot in perimenopause and menopause spaces, especially on Facebook. So much of the conversation focuses on what’s going wrong. While I believe we absolutely need space to talk about the hard stuff, I also realized I’d been getting stuck in that negative loop myself.

So instead of piling on more doom, I share seven positive things I’ve personally experienced during perimenopause. From having way fewer f***s to give, to standing up for myself with doctors, to stronger boundaries and a sharper intuition, this phase of life has brought some surprising upsides I don’t hear talked about enough.

If you’ve been feeling weighed down by the constant negativity around midlife, aging, and perimenopause, this episode is a reminder to zoom out and notice what’s actually getting better too. Because yes, perimenopause can be hard, but it can also be powerful.

Key Takeaways

• I’ve stopped people-pleasing and care far less about outside approval
• I advocate for myself more, especially with my health
• My periods are spacing out, which feels like a small miracle
• My intuition and boundaries are stronger than ever
• Rest is non-negotiable in midlife and I finally honor that

In this episode, I chat about being labeled “too ___” (too loud, too emotional, too big,, etc.) and why those very traits you were told to shrink are actually your superpowers in midlife.

Tune in for a blend of humor, honesty, and midlife truth-telling as I share my own journey from shrinking to shining and I invite invites you to embrace the unapologetic, one-of-a-kind woman you are.

It's my hopes that this episode is the "permission" you've been waiting for to let your 'freak' flag fly... in other words, reclaim the quirks, feelings, and all those "too much" labels you may have tucked away for years. You, my midlife friend, are magical just as you are!
