Navigating the Loathsomeness of Life Transition
Last night you died on a molehill, something you’ve done more times than you care to recount recently. Irritability is at an all time high, and you’re tired of living in it. In reality, you’re just tired. All the time. You’re doing the best you can to cope with the hot flashes and night sweats, the inconveniences on your digestive track (ug), but between the irritability and the impact on your sexual self, you’re losing your mind in this perimenopausal era. You remember being a kinder soul who enjoyed sex, but that part of yourself feels so hard to engage some days. Oh, and let’s not leave out the brainfog and forgetting words. Didn’t you use to be articulate? No wonder you are irritated all the time.
It’s hard to recognize yourself sometimes.
You have tried to talk to medical professionals, but feel as though they are more confused about what you’re going through than you are. You’ve had little to no help. Your mom, she’s tried in her own way, but she was never good at being fully honest about “awkward” experiences. Your friends are good supports, but they are often just as frustrated as you are; commiserating is soothing, but you need more than that. You need someone who has some answers and support that help open this black box of an experience you are going through.
Is there a way for this journey to be less melancholy?
I help women who are going through the, often, rough transition of perimenopause. On this journey I’m sure you’ve found that information and resources are limited, and our mothers are not good at giving meaningful information. This process is so much more than hot flashes and night sweats, and getting clarity on what exactly that means is a journey on its own. Getting older and moving towards the category of matron can be emotionally challenging, especially in our society that appears to value youth in the feminine over age. I cut through the bull honky and support you on whatever your perimenopausal experience is, with education, normalization, and commiseration.
I am a professional who can support you on this journey, without romanticizing it or telling you how everything will be fine. I know it’s tough, and I want you to have the help you deserve.
