If Christmas gatherings feel heavier than they “should,” there’s a reason.

This time of year doesn’t just bring people together.
It brings the past closer too.

You can be a grown woman… successful, self-aware, deeply spiritual…
and still feel your body shift the moment you step into the same family dynamics that shaped you.

Maybe you notice your chest tighten.
Or your voice get smaller.
Or that familiar pressure to keep the peace, be the responsible one, or carry the emotional weight of the room.

This isn’t you “regressing.”
This is your nervous system recognising an old environment and protecting you in the only way it learned to.

Because the body remembers what the mind tried to move on from.

And Christmas — with its expectations, roles, unspoken emotions — can reopen the places where you once had to:

hold it all together,
be the good one,
stay quiet,
or become whatever kept you safe.

If you find yourself:

• feeling on edge for no obvious reason
• slipping back into old survival patterns
• absorbing everyone’s energy
• leaving the day emotionally drained or ashamed of your reactions

…nothing is wrong with you.

Your system is simply showing you what still lives in your tissues.
What still hasn’t been met.
What still needs repair.

And while that can feel confronting…
it’s also the exact doorway into the healing you’ve been craving.

The trigger isn’t the problem.
It’s the signal.

A gentle nudge from your body saying:
“This part of me still needs you.”

If this season is bringing old patterns to the surface, be soft with yourself.
You’re not breaking down — you’re becoming aware.

And if you’re ready to work with these wounds at the root, not just get through the holidays… I’m here.
Quietly.
Safely.
At the pace your body can trust.

You can message me if you need support with what’s coming up.

What Your Mind Says vs What Your Body Says
(Especially during Perimenopause & Menopause)
This stage of life can feel confusing because your mind and your body stop agreeing.
Your mind speaks in survival.
Your body speaks in truth.
Here’s what that actually sounds like:

🧠 Mind:
“I’m just stressed. I need to push through.”
🌿 Body:
“I’m exhausted from decades of pushing. Please stop overriding me.”

🧠 Mind:
“I shouldn’t feel this emotional. Something is wrong with me.”
🌿 Body:
“These emotions are old. You’re finally safe enough to feel what you once had to suppress.”

🧠 Mind:
“I can’t fall apart — people need me.”
🌿 Body:
“You’ve held everyone for years. It’s your turn now.”

🧠 Mind:
“It’s just hormones… this is normal for my age.”
🌿 Body:
“No — I’m trying to release everything you’ve carried since childhood.”

🧠 Mind:
“I’m overreacting.”
🌿 Body:
“I’m reacting to all the moments you had to ignore because surviving was more important than feeling.”

🧠 Mind:
“I’ll be okay once I calm down.”
🌿 Body:
“You’ll calm down once you stop abandoning yourself.”

🧠 Mind:
“I shouldn’t rest, there’s too much to do.”
🌿 Body:
“I can no longer function without true rest. Not the fake rest where you’re thinking about everything.”

🧠 Mind:
“If I slow down, everything will fall apart.”
🌿 Body:
“If you slow down, you will finally come back together.”

🌙 The deeper truth?
Your mind is repeating old programming.
Your body is telling the truth you’ve avoided for years.
Perimenopause and menopause don’t break you —
they simply make it impossible to ignore the parts of you that have been waiting to heal.
When you stop listening only to your mind…
and start listening to your body…
everything shifts.
Clarity returns.
Peace returns.
Your energy returns.
YOU return.

To the Perimenopausal / Menopausal Woman Who’s Saying “I’m Fine”… but She’s Not

Can I tell you something gently but honestly?

You’re not “losing it.”
You’re not “being dramatic.”
And you’re definitely not “just hormonal.”

What you’re feeling in perimenopause or menopause isn’t simply a hormone issue…
It’s your body finally refusing to carry decades of emotional responsibility, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment.

How do I know?
Because I lived it — the anxiety, the heart palpitations, the emotional crashes, the foggy head, the irritability that came out of nowhere.
And I also lived the relief that came when I finally listened to what my body had been holding for years.

Here’s the truth most women never hear:

👉 Perimenopause doesn’t break you — it reveals what’s already been sitting in your nervous system.
The childhood pressure to be the “good girl.”
The overgiving.
The silence.
The “I must take care of everyone or everything falls apart.”
The constant holding-it-all-together while your own needs go unmet.

And then one day…
Your body says,
“No more.”

Not because it’s failing —
but because it knows you’re finally strong enough to hear the truth.

✨ The night sweats?
✨ The anxiety spikes?
✨ The sudden overwhelm?
✨ The irritability?
✨ The exhaustion that hits like a wall?

These aren’t signs you’re breaking.
They’re signs your body is trying to free you.

Your nervous system is surfacing the very things you’ve had to suppress just to survive.

This stage of life isn’t punishment.
It’s initiation.
A portal.
A turning point where your body asks:

“Are you ready to stop abandoning yourself?”
“Are you ready to release what you’ve carried since childhood?”
“Are you ready to feel safe in your body again?”

Perimenopause becomes unbearable when you’re still living from the same old trauma patterns — fight, flight, freeze, fawn — without realising it.

But when you learn to work with the body instead of fighting it…
when you regulate the nervous system…
when you heal the root instead of numbing the symptoms…

Your whole experience changes.

You get your clarity back.
Your peace back.
Your energy back.
Your SELF back.

Because your body is not the enemy.
It’s the doorway home.

💛 If this post feels like I’m speaking your insides out loud… it’s because I see the deeper truth beneath your symptoms.
You’re not broken.
You’re overwhelmed.
And your body is asking to be heard — not fixed.

If you’re navigating perimenopause/menopause and you’re feeling emotional, anxious, burnt out, or unlike yourself… comment “ME” below or message me for a discovery call

You don’t have to walk through this transition alone.
Your body is calling you home — let’s listen to her together.

"I hope that this is the year you realize everything—every last thing in your life—will happen with much more ease if it is in alignment with your soul’s true intent. I hope this is the
year you begin to unearth those truths from inside of you. I
hope that this is the year you find the boldest, bravest kind
of courage. I hope that this is the year you walk fiercely into
the life that was always meant to be yours." ~ Brianna Wiest
