There’s something no one talks about enough in midlife.
It’s not just hormones.
It’s not just gut health.
It’s not just stress.
It’s isolation.
So many women over 40 are quietly carrying careers, aging parents, teenagers, shifting bodies, and fluctuating hormones… and doing it feeling alone.
But here’s what the science tells us:
Community lowers cortisol.
Connection improves mental health.
Belonging supports hormone balance.
Isolation increases inflammation and stress load.
This is why I believe connection is not optional in perimenopause. It’s foundational.
Helping lead our monthly Fox Fleet trail runs for the here in the Fraser Valley has shown me firsthand what happens when women gather. Confidence grows. Stress softens. Nervous systems regulate. Healing accelerates.
I wrote a new blog post sharing the research behind community and women’s health, and why you were never meant to do this season alone.
If you’re navigating perimenopause, gut issues, stress, or feeling disconnected, this is for you.

You deserve support. You deserve connection. You deserve to feel understood.
