I have coaching slots available so that you can have better relationships with yourself and others. Let's do this!!

Ways to move through feelings:
Throw a pillow against the floor repeatedly
Go for a walk outside and hug a tree or listen to moving water
Hug yourself
Cry
Tapping (EFT) and butterfly taps
Drink water
Stomp it out, like a toddler
Scream into a pillow or at a river

If you want more tools and encouragement to feel your feels, say "Feels" to start your DM and we can chat about it

Actually feeling the feels requires time, skill, energy. It's not always easy or quick. I can help!

Week 3 update: puffy under eyes when I wake, need more water, lost my joy of some foods.
Oh, and I have random sharp abdominal pain. Is it my uterus? Is it gas pain? Is it another organ? Who knows!
But overall, my experience if menopause is excellent and I cannot recommend it enough.

That being said, I have a friend who has a terrible time with medical menopause and she absolutely does not recommend. So, mileage varies no matter how your menopause goes.

Had to remake the library: a simple craft that I add to as I read or listen to books, either solo or with a book club. It feels productive, fun, and simple. Big fan!!

I say "I'm really uncomfortable and nervous about this", then take a deep breath and continue with a physically uncomfortable conversation. My body interprets some feelings as physically uncomfortable (like my shoulder hurts or my low back aches or my stomach roils), but that doesn't necessarily mean that I am emotionally unsafe.

It helps me regulate to say out loud that I'm nervous and it helps the other person to listen differently, too. How do you like to start?

I Wish I Had Known: saying "I'm really nervous/scared to tell you this, and I may stumble..." is way easier than avoidin...

I Wish I Had Known: saying "I'm really nervous/scared to tell you this, and I may stumble..." is way easier than avoiding

When I avoid, it creates resentment, unease, distrust, and shame. While a difficult conversation may be uncomfortable, it is not inherently unsafe. Ideally, I have created a relationship where I can start these conversations and we work through the discomfort together.

If you want help having these difficult conversations, reach out! I work one on one in coaching sessions.

Have you got a Wish I Had Known? My DMs are open and you can be featured!

Get outside! Regulate with nature when you can

I have many beliefs and values. These are some.
Feel free to see yourself out if you feel so called.
I am happy to chat to gain understanding, but will not debate.

Week 2 of medical menopause: got dizzy once, my skin seems both more oily and significantly drier 🤷‍♀️ I'm not into the taste of water now but know I need to be hydrated. I am truly a fan of menopause!

We can see a little bit of this body part that is designed solely to feel good. The rest of it is internal, really big, and quite important for pleasure.
