Sarah circa 2018 and Sarah today have different goals.

In perimenopause, our workout recovery changes, and our cortisol spikes with high intensity. I could never achieve these same results doing what I did back then. Nor would I want to. Workouts back then were punishment and completely ignored my bodies signals. I know better now.

This is the season to tap in, slow down sometimes and give your body a lil love....maybe for the first time ever.

I've been building something that will allow you to do this daily. More to come soon 🙌

3:07am.
Wide awake. 👀

6:09am.
Forcing it anyway. 😵‍💫

If you’re:
• Waking in the night
• Wired but exhausted
• Dreading workouts you used to love
• Pushing through and still gaining weight

It’s not a discipline problem.

In perimenopause, recovery shifts.
Sleep fragments.
Stress tolerance drops.

More intensity isn’t the fix.
Matching your movement to your energy is.

Some days are strength.
Some days are yin.
Some days are rest.

That’s not quitting.
That’s intelligent training.🙌

Inside The Perimenopause Energy Reset, I teach women how to tune in before they move.

Comment EASY and ill send it your way💫

Adaptation > discipline

Let’s get controversial. 👇

For years, we’ve been told that if we aren’t doing 10km runs or grueling HIIT sessions, it doesn't 'count.'

Fine in our 20s and 30s.....

But in perimenopause? That high-intensity grind is often just a one-way ticket to Cortisol Town. 📈

When your hormones are all over the place, adding the stress of 'pushing through' a HIIT class can actually backfire.

Instead of invigorated, you are left exhausted, inflamed, and wondering why your 'discipline' is making you feel worse.

I stopped chasing the cardio burn and started focusing on what actually supports my body:

💪 Lifting HEAVY when I have the energy (strength is non-negotiable). When I have capacity, my workout plan also includes a short burst finisher to get the heart rate up!

🧘‍♀️ Yoga and walking for nervous system and hormone regulation.

And guess what? It's WORKING. I am feeling great in my body, and I have also noticed improvements in my sleep, mood, and night sweats. Plus, nothing makes you feel more badass than throwing around some heavy weights 💪😎

The key is to know when to do what. That's where the energy check-in comes in. It's a non-negotiable start to my day.

In case no one has told you today... you are allowed to rest without "earning" it.

I spent years treating my workouts like a debt collector. Had a second glass of wine on Friday? That’s an extra 30 minutes of sweat on Saturday to "pay it off." Pizza night? Better make sure the workout is punishing enough to "cancel it out." Exercise wasn’t movement; it was penance. 🤦‍♀️

Then perimenopause hit. Trying to "push through" and "earn" my rest while dealing with midlife energy shifts felt like trying to walk uphill through waist-deep mud. It’s exhausting, and frankly, it was a lie.🚫

Here is the truth I finally leaned into: rest is a physiological requirement, not a gold star for good behavior. You don’t need to be "good" to deserve some couch time. And you certainly don’t need to pay for your dinner with a workout.

We’re moving away from the "earning" cycle and toward a body honoring system. Because we are allowed to just... be. ☮️

Sounds like something you need, don't it. 💯
Trust me, the self-love and acceptance that follows tuning in to your body is WORTH IT.

We missed out in our 20s with our bs rigid systems geared towards external results. Now is our time for radical self-acceptance.

We ride at dawn 😎

Ladies, are you ignoring your body’s check engine light the same way you ignore your vehicle’s? 🚗💨

You know the vibe. You see the little orange glow on the dash, think “not today, Satan,” and just turn the radio up louder so you can’t hear that weird rattling sound.

But putting a piece of black tape over the light doesn’t stop the engine from smoking. And “pushing through” perimenopause symptoms is basically like trying to win a drag race with a flat tire and no oil.

If you’re experiencing:
🛠️ The 3 PM wall (Low Fuel light is blinking)
🛠️ Snapping at everyone (Engine is misfiring)
🛠️ Crunchy joints (Needs a l**e job)
🛠️ Brain fog (Electrical short circuit)
🛠️ Crappy sleep (Radiator is overheating at 3 AM)
..it’s time to stop ignoring the dash.

The best part? You don’t need a mechanic. You already have the tools to fix the problem yourself. It’s called a Capacity Check-in, and it’s the user manual you were never given for this stage of life.

Stop driving on fumes.

Are those killer workouts that used to leave you feeling energized and hyped on life now leaving you gassed for the rest of the day? 🥱

No, you are not out of shape, or lazy, or undisciplined.

In perimenopause, the rules of the game seemed to change overnight, and no one warned us!

What used to be a quick recovery is now lingering soreness, crappy sleep, and that wired-but-tired vibe. 😵‍💫

Why does this happen? In perimenopause, our bodies handle stress differently. What used to be an "energizing" sweat session can now spike cortisol and overflow our already-full stress bucket, leaving us stuck in a recovery loop that takes days to break 🫠

The shift that helped me (and my students) the most : a quick Energy Check-In before you move. 💫

LOW : downshift + mobility
MEDIUM : steady strength + flow
HIGH : expansive but sustainable

Imagine being able to move without judgement in the body you’ve got today : even when you're tired, and without over-doing it.

Learning the check-in is super easy and will totally change the way you approach movement.
