Dear 30-year-old me,
You think menopause is something that happens to old women.
You think ‘peri’ is a seasoning for chicken 😅
You think if you train hard, eat well, and stay positive, your body will always cooperate.
It won’t. And that’s not your fault.
Here’s what I wish you knew:
Your body will change before your mind is ready.
Fatigue won’t mean you’re lazy, it’ll mean your hormones are shifting.
Anxiety can arrive out of nowhere, even when life looks fine.
What used to work (pushing harder, eating less) will eventually stop working.
Sleep becomes non-negotiable.
Muscle matters, for bones, mood, and resilience.
Stress will impact your hormones more than you expect. Who you choose as a partner will impact your health more than you will ever know. You’ll need more compassion for yourself, not more discipline.
And this matters most:
You are not broken. You are not failing. You are not losing yourself.
You’re transitioning, hormonally, emotionally, biologically, and no one warned you.
If I could sit beside you in that water, I’d tell you this:
One day you’ll stop fighting your body and start listening to it.
Everything changes then.
If this resonates and you’re in this season too, this is exactly why I train women the way I do now.
Always here to help,
Lisa 💖
