Simplified Lifestyle Coaching I help women who struggle with perimenopausal mood swings feel normal again so they can actually enjoy life. Get my free Protein Guide... link below!

I help women over 40 escape the physical and emotional chaos of hormonal changes using a holistic approach, so they can feel like themselves again and fully embrace this stage of life. As a board-certified functional medicine health coach, I believe women shouldn’t have to struggle with anxiety, brain fog, depression, or stubborn weight gain. You deserve to feel strong, steady, and like yourself again. And it starts with how you fuel your body. If you’ve been feeling anxious, exhausted, and like your body is working against you, you’re not alone. This isn’t just aging—it’s the menopause transition. And it’s your body asking for support. That’s why I created The Protein Fix—a simple starting point to help you feel better quickly. Protein is one of the most powerful nutrients for maintaining steady energy, promoting balanced moods, enhancing focus, and keeping you feeling full throughout your day. I wish I had this kind of guide when I was trying to make sense of what was happening to my mind and body. Once I started fueling myself with what I actually needed, everything shifted. You’re not crazy. You’re not failing. And you’re definitely not alone. Let’s help you feel like you again.

Five years ago, I was quietly struggling and felt anxious all the time.

Questioning myself with thoughts like “why do I feel out of my body?” and “is this anxiety or something more?”

I was doing all the “right” things…

Eating healthy-ish and working out.
I was keeping up with my busy to-do list.

And yet my mind wouldn’t shut off, my sleep was awful, and I just felt depressed…but couldn’t figure out why.

The only solution my doctor offered was an antidepressant.

So I tried it.

But nothing really changed.

That’s when I learned what no one had explained to me before:

The wild symptoms I was experiencing was perimenopause.

I found a doctor who actually listened and helped me understand what was happening in my body. I started with making simple lifestyle changes.

I changed my evenings so my mind and body could actually wind down.

I made movement a non-negotiable (even on the days I didn’t feel like it).

I stopped dieting and restricting and started giving my body what it was begging for.

Slowly… things shifted.

🌿 My anxiety became manageable.
🌙 I slept through the night again
💛 My thoughts felt quieter, my emotions more predictable
😃 And for the first time in a long time, I had my energy back! I no longer wished for mid day naps.

Now I help women over 40 do the same.

Please know that the anxiety and mood swings does not mean you’re “going crazy.”

It’s that you were never taught how to support your body through this transition.

I want to show you how in my free masterclass happening next week:

From Chaos to Calm: How to Feel Like Yourself Again in Perimenopause

In this class, I walk you through:

Why anxiety, brain fog, and exhaustion feel so intense after 40.

And the simple lifestyle shifts that ease anxiety and give you back your energy, so you actually look forward to waking up each day.

And what’s even better about this class? It’s online, and no need to turn your camera on. Minimal effort on your part.

So you can watch from your couch, in comfy clothes, and maybe with a warm cup of tea.

Comment “calm” and I’ll send you the details. 🩷

Nothing irks me more than my kids asking me for something over and over again. 😩

It’s like they truly believe they are going to get a different answer out of me.

And listen… raising teens is already hard.

Doing it in perimenopause?

Let’s just say my patience is… limited.

And it wasn’t exactly overflowing to begin with. 😅

There are a few habits that will absolutely make you feel worse in perimenopause.

So let’s talk about the 6 things you need to stop doing immediately if you want to feel like a functioning human again. 😅

1️⃣ Stop doing your kids’ laundry.
Most moms don’t realize that getting kids to do their own laundry sooner rather than later is just as good for them as it is for you. It’s a real-life skill, and kids should be included in household chores. I recommend starting around age 9 — they’re fully capable, and you deserve the break.

2️⃣ Stop grabbing a banana for breakfast and calling it a meal. Your hormones need protein in the morning to stabilize blood sugar, calm anxiety, and support your brain. A banana is great after you’ve had your protein.

3️⃣ Stop checking emails after work.
Your nervous system is already overwhelmed. Every “quick check” spikes cortisol and keeps your body in go-go-go mode. Your hormones need OFF time. Your inbox will survive until your next shift.

4️⃣ Stop saying yes to everything.
If your body is screaming “NO,” listen. Overcommitting in perimenopause is an express ticket to burnout, resentment, and tears in the Target parking lot. Protect your energy like your life depends on it…because it does!

5️⃣ Stop eating foods you know make you feel terrible.
If you bloat, crash, spiral, or snap afterwards… that’s your body talking. Inflammation hits harder in midlife. Choose the foods that love you back.

6️⃣ Stop falling asleep to Netflix.
Blue light + overstimulation = terrible sleep + terrible moods. Your hormones need darkness, quiet, and actual wind-down time, not another episode of Stranger Things.

Small changes = big relief.

Not perfection. Not restriction.

Just habits that finally align with the reality of your changing hormones.

If you want balanced moods, be clear-headed, and feel like yourself again… this is where you start. 💛

Here’s the truth no one tells you…

You can’t keep doing the same things and expect to feel different in the new year.

And I say that with so much love… because I had to learn it the hard way, too.

If you want more energy, more peace, better sleep, happier moods, and a body that feels youthful again, something has to shift.

Not because you’re doing something wrong… but because this season of life requires a different kind of care.

These 10 things?

They’re the habits that quietly drain you. The habits that keep you stuck. The choices that make you feel older than you actually are.

And here’s the part that’s uncomfortable: you have to be willing to change the things that no longer support the woman you’re becoming.

Growth requires discomfort.

Healing requires honesty.

Living beyond 40 requires a new level of intention.

But the beautiful thing?

You don’t have to overhaul your entire life.

You just have to stop doing the things that pull you away from who you want to be in 2026.

Imagine what next year could feel like if you stopped:

❤️Putting yourself last
❤️Ignoring your symptoms
❤️Surviving on coffee
❤️Skimping on protein
❤️Calling yourself “lazy”
❤️And stopped saving strength training for someday

Imagine how different your days could feel if you chose you by taking extra care of your health, your peace, your energy, your worth… a little more boldly.

You deserve a future where you don’t just get through the day, but days when you actually feel good living it.
2026 can be your reset year.🙌

But you have to get comfortable with getting uncomfortable.

Because that’s where the transformation happens.

Tell me, friend…

Which one of these 10 things are you ready to stop doing before the new year?
