22 years ago, something terrible and beautiful happened. ⁣

The day I had the privilege, to hold you tight and kiss your tiny forehead. ⁣

The day that began an education in grief in numerous ways. ⁣

The day that defined my future professional path. ⁣

The day that would mark the beginning of a journey to heal trauma. ⁣

I honour you darling one 🥰⁣

55 turns around the sun completed. Stepping into the “late menopause” zone. Will try and let that one go… Grateful for, and distracted by a treasured gift of a macro lens. Here’s a practice run with a gorgeous birthday flower gift as my muse 😄💝

I gave birth to my forever sleeping Baby Harry nearly 22 years ago. ⁣

Baby Loss Awareness Week, for me, marks an important time of reflection. It’s within a month of his anniversary. ⁣

Some years I simply remember him and all the gifts he left. ⁣

This time something feels different. This past year it became clear that the D&C I had after giving birth to him was likely the cause of the adenomyosis I still experience. Brutal menstrual pain began after his birth. ⁣

A monthly reliving of what happened on the night on his termination. ⁣

Over the past 22 years, I’ve sought many many many healing solutions. Medically there are no reasonable options, given my history and responses to hormonal intervention. ⁣

I ride it out. ⁣

I continue working with my nervous system as my best bet. ⁣

Turning 55 in a week or so, means I’ll be heading, officially, into the late menopause zone. ⁣

This, honestly, feels tortuous. How mismatched my reproductive system and the rest of my body and psyche are!⁣

Rest and respite would be greatly appreciated 😅⁣

The book I’m currently writing is about how grief transforms us. ⁣

Amazing transformations arrived in my life after losing Harry, especially professionally, which I’ll be forever grateful for. But the cyclical pain creates a kind of transformation that has been about resilience. It’s not always pretty, but I’m still showing up for myself. ⁣

Until menopause arrives, Baby Harry and I will continue this visceral journey together (?)

Onwards as the work continues. ⁣

My heart is with all who have loved and lost their precious babies 💔⁣

This year has been a crazy challenge. ⁣

It started with more energy, focus, and determination to complete book one✨⁣

Then spring and summer hit. ⁣

Life… well, it was life-ing…hard. It was messy, overwhelming, and at times, frightening.⁣

But through it all, one thing held me steady: ⁣

The daily, consistent work with my nervous system. ⁣

My anchor. My container. ⁣

Now, as autumn arrives 🍂, something is shifting again. ⁣

Hope feels lighter. ⁣

Possibility feels possible.⁣

I’m about to begin my sixth round of the Irene Lyon’s SBSM course (enrolment for the course is happening right now). ⁣

Yes, I’m a little battle-weary, but my toolbox? Fuller than ever 🙌

The vindication? ⁣A consultant - open, curious, and kind, looked at Irene’s work and admitted there’s nothing like this in medicine, and that this is my best chance for managing my health. He even added it to my notes. Not technically NHS-approved 😊… but backed by a truly open-hearted NHS doctor 🙌⁣

So here I am. ⁣

Still standing.

Still writing. ⁣

Book one edging closer to completion. ⁣

Still saying yes to this healing journey. ⁣

Onwards, as ever ❤️⁣

📸 At work on book one, small steps closer to completion…⁣

👀 A sneaky peak inside Perimenopause Unwrapped ⁣

😅 I’m nearly breaching the boundaries of ‘late menopause’, so while still in perimenopause I thought I’d immerse myself in and my 21 day online course, before the beauty disappears on 1st November.

🤭 Yeah it’s kinda weird listening to guidance I’m co-sharing, but putting that aside, it’s a damn fine perimenopause exploration! We’re very proud of her. ⁣

🌀 Permissive, kind, softening…a journey to navigating perimenopause your own way.⁣

💖 There’s no right or wrong way of doing the course…there’s just your own way 🥰⁣

‼️ Only 6 days to go. Get Perimenopause Unwrapped for half price until 1st September. ⁣

✨ONLY THREE WEEKS LEFT✨

🌸 Feeling like the world won’t stop shouting at you?⁣

“Take this supplement.”⁣

“Go on HRT.”⁣

“Eat this. Avoid that.”⁣

“Fix yourself.”⁣

But what if… you’re not broken?⁣

What if this phase - Perimenopause - isn’t a problem to solve, but an invitation to finally hear the quieter voice inside you?⁣

The one that’s been drowned out by years of doing, giving, and caring for everyone else.⁣

✨ Our offering to you, Perimenopause Unwrapped isn’t another “fix.” ⁣

It’s a gentle, soulful 21-day course that helps you tune in to your own rhythm, your own enough-ness, even when perimenopause challenges are loud. ⁣

💫 And the good news: It’s HALF PRICE with code GOODBYE until SEPT 1st.⁣

The course disappears on Nov 1st! Giving you two months to dive in at your own pace.⁣

Ready to approach perimenopause with even more kindness?⁣
