Not in the mood for a cold salad… but still want to get your veggies in? This is my go-to: “Soulad” (aka Saloud) — a cozy mix of soup + salad 🥣🌿

Start with ½ can of Sprague’s lentil soup (Costco find)
Warm it up on the stove
Add chopped veggies (I had cabbage on hand) and cook on low–medium for a few minutes
Toss in leafy greens and let them gently wilt

Pour into a bowl and finish with:
• chopped dill
• cherry tomatoes
• cracked black pepper
• a splash of balsamic vinegar

I paired mine with slices of DuBreton ham, cucumber, and hummus for extra protein + crunch

Warm, satisfying, and an easy way to get more fibre and veggies in—without forcing a cold salad

Perimenopause isn’t a smooth symphony… it’s experimental jazz 🎷

In your 20s and early 30s, your hormones follow a rhythm:
Estrogen rises, progesterone follows, cycles feel predictable.

But in perimenopause?

• Estrogen is up, down, unpredictable
• Progesterone is often low or missing (hello poor sleep + anxiety + PMS)
• Cortisol feels louder (stress hits harder)
• Testosterone is declining (affecting: energy, motivation, ability to maintain/build muscle)

So instead of a steady beat…
you get improvisation.

One month you feel like yourself.
The next—anxious, wired, exhausted, or completely off.

And it’s not just hot flashes.

Perimenopause can look like:
• Anxiety or rage out of nowhere
• Waking at 3–4am
• Brain fog / word-finding issues
• Heart palpitations
• Heavier or irregular periods
• Joint pain or “flu-like” PMS
• Vaginal dryness (even if you still get a period)
• Feeling overwhelmed by things you used to handle easily

👉 Here’s what most women don’t realize:
You can start supporting your hormones even if you’re still getting a period.

You don’t have to “wait it out.”

🎧 I break this all down (and what to actually do) in episodes of the Perimenopausal Mamas Podcast — watch the YouTube audiogram: https://www.youtube.com/ (link also in bio)

🥗 Make healthy eating easier (without overthinking it)

You open the fridge… and still don’t know what to make.

A solution for overwhelm - with a community

Your brain was never designed for 85 phone pick-ups a day.

And yet… here we are.

Almost half of our daily behaviours are automatic. Not intentional or conscious. Just habit loops running in the background.

Then we wonder why we feel:
• Tired but wired
• Distracted
• Anxious
• Snappy
• Unable to focus
• Waking at 2–3 am

This isn’t a willpower problem.

It’s nervous system physiology.

When you reduce digital overstimulation — even for two weeks — studies show meaningful improvements in sleep, focus, and anxiety.

That’s why I created the 12-Day Tackle Distractions & Reclaim Your Joy Reset.

Inside, you’ll get:
– Simple daily prompts to build awareness
– Practical nervous system tools
– Reflection exercises to reconnect with what actually gives you energy

Less stimulation.
More calm.
Better sleep.
Clearer thinking.

The challenge starts March 2.

If you’ve been feeling “off” but can’t quite explain why… this might be it.
