World Menopause Day đ
I had a conversation with a friend the other day about how we just want to say NO! Maybe not in such a polite way but you get the gist!
So on this World Menopause Day I wanted to write about how I know Iâm feeling and I know many of the people I speak to feel the same. You are not alone.
Nothing really prepares us for everything it changesâŚ.our bodies, our moods, our energy, our sense of self.
We talk about hot flushes and hormones, but not the identity shifts, the aches & pains, the tiredness, the waves of emotion, the ringing in the ears and countless other weird sensations, but most of all the quiet realisations that we canât keep living for everyone else.
Itâs just wild how much changes, isnât it?
Your body feels different. Your emotions feel louder. The things that used to light you up donât quite land the same.
Menopause (post & peri) isnât a breakdown, itâs a BREAKTHROUGH.
This isnât you losing yourself. Itâs you meeting a new version of yourself.
One thatâs clearer, calmer, and less willing to tolerate what doesnât feel right anymore.
So if youâre tired, sensitive, or just not feeling like you, thatâs okay.
Be gentle with yourself. Your bodyâs doing a full recalibration, physically, hormonally, energetically.
One minute youâre craving peace and early nights, the next youâre ready to take on the world.
Thatâs the magic of this phase, unpredictable, powerful, and itâs entirely up to you đ
There are no rules, slow down when you need to, fire up and go for it when it calls you, but most of all be kind to yourself.
All of this is how Iâm feeling, If this resonates with you, drop a â¤ď¸ in the comments.
Bring on the next chapter
