    Somehow, your channel came to me. because it always does, just when I need it most. Thank you for being so down-to-earth, raw, adorable, and so truthful about this phase we’re all going through. You’re spot on about how all our inner stuff is coming to the surface right now. And let’s not forget the big ones, sleep issues and the anxiety that comes with them. It’s like, can we catch a break? But yes, the days are flying by, and in the middle of it all, self-care and self-love are so important. It’s a reminder that it’s okay if we don’t always have the energy, the best moods, or feel like being the fun-loving person we usually are.
    I’m also starting my own UA-cam channel, and let me tell you, I’m absolutely petrified about being judged. But I know in my heart I’m not doing this just for me, I’m doing this for everyone out there who feels lonely or is going through hard times. Some might be battling illness, some might be grieving a loss. Whether it’s sleep-deprived nights or just feeling stuck, I want to create something that connects us all.
    I’m planning to interview creators of all kinds because I feel like this is something I need to do, especially as I go through perimenopause. It’s a ride, isn’t it? But even though it’s wild and unpredictable, it’s also beautiful and exhilarating in its own way. I overcame chronic illness four years ago and healed myself, so I know that strength is already within me, and now, I’m learning to embrace this new chapter. It’s a rollercoaster, but I’m determined to lean into it.
    We really do need to embrace and support one another during times like these. Thank you for sharing this precious gem of wisdom. And yes, the music truly is divine, it’s like it knows exactly what we need. Here’s to peeling back the layers, finding strength in the mess, and holding each other up along the way. ❤

    Hi Lisa. I must say that I am very glad to be through both the perimenopause and menopause. You speak a real truth when you say that things that we have pushed down inside of us year after year after year, because our lives are full and full on, do come and bite us. Childhood trauma came roaring back like a wild animal after menopause and I had no option other than to face it and deal with it. My body and mind wouldn't let me keep it locked away in a box anymore. Really important aspect of the change in us as women. Its a hard time and we have to give ourselves grace and be kind to all the parts that make us who we are. Take care 🧡

    I think our generation and culture was raised to believe if we aren’t constantly working we are lazy. As women I think it’s so tough to make time for ourselves. Often I actually feel guilty for being “unproductive” and resting. When I start to have those feelings I ask myself what behavior do I want to model for my daughter. Almost always I realize I want her to see me taking care of myself and honoring my body/needs. I’m still learning how to find balance in my life but at least now I’m not always feeling less than because of my productivity level🥴. It’s certainly not perfect, but it is progress!

    Oh my goodness this hit home for me. I totally get it. I agree with you on the whole "your body is letting you know". I wish it wasn't screaming at me though. 😅 PMD has become so much worse. I'm totally different person. Forgetfulness, brain fog, fatigue, aches and pains and the horrible sweats. I now have a planer that I call my brain and if I don't write it down in there it just disappears in to thin air of my brain's Bermuda triangle... sometimes I even forget things on the go. The list goes on. I too feel like I'm chasing my tail, like I can't keep up and there is no more winning in life, just existing and trying to catch my breath. It is not just days flying by, months fly by now. And I have years of this to look forward too. I'm trying to get through it with self kindness and compassion, but it is hard as things on my plate just keep pilling higher. I understand now why so many middle aged women just snap, for now I resort to biting my lip not to do the same. I wonder if I'll ever feel normal and good again. Focusing on good moments helps and I'm trying to make them my priority. Sending my love.

    This resonates deeply. I don't know what the answer is, but my life feels unsustainable trying to manage it as I have in the past. Maybe we're more able to grind it out or have more energy before pre peri? I have days where everything feels so overwhelming and like I'm losing my mind. Trying to figure out how to live more purposefully and slowly while balancing the requirements of life is where I'm at right now. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Lisa, how adorable is Oscar 😊. My boys are black and white too ❤.
    I am going tbrough perimenopause and dont I know it. The worst bit for me is the flushes. My cheeks are pretty much always beetroot now, and it really gets to me, especially when everyone points it out. Brain fog is a biggy, too, for me and mood swings. I tried HRT but didn't like it, so I stopped x
