What a great morning at Burn Boot Camp North Raleigh 💪✨

We’re so grateful to have been invited to spend time with such strong, driven women - answering questions, talking hormones, muscle, sleep, recovery, and all the “why does my body feel different?” moments that so many midlife women

Thank you for welcoming Peri & Pause into your space. We loved meeting each of you and supporting women who are already investing in their strength and health. 🩵🤍

If you stopped by our table - we’re so glad you did. And if you missed us, we’re always here.

Good morning ☀️ It’s Jamie 🤗
I’m so excited and honored to share this 🌸

This Wednesday at 8 a.m., I’ll be speaking inside Jes Averhart’s Second Cup Circle as part of the Reinvention Hub, and I cannot wait!

My session is called Demystifying Menopause, and we’ll be having a real, grounded conversation about what’s happening in midlife women’s bodies… and how to understand it without fear or confusion.

I’ve participated in Jes’s groups before, and she and the women in this community are truly astounding - thoughtful, driven, open, and deeply committed to growth. It’s the kind of space where reinvention doesn’t feel overwhelming… it feels possible.

Second Cup Circle is one of those beautiful midweek pauses - coffee in hand, real connection, meaningful conversation. ☕️

If you’re in a season of change - personally or professionally - I would genuinely encourage you to check out Jes’s work. She is a powerful speaker, motivator, and guide for women navigating what’s next.

You can learn more at www.jesaverhart.com

Grateful for the invitation. Grateful for this work. And always grateful for spaces where women support women. 🤍

💝 Fuquay Friends… We’re Growing 😊

Our Fuquay office at Peri & Pause is ready to welcome another Nurse Practitioner to our team 🫶🏼

If you know an incredible NP - the kind who truly listens, thinks deeply, cares about women’s health, and wants to grow in women's midlife/menopause care - would you send them our way?

We care for women in perimenopause and menopause every single day. We believe they deserve better than “that’s just aging.” And we’ve worked really hard to build a space where women feel heard, educated, and respected.

But here’s what matters just as much:

We care about our TEAM the same way we care about our patients.

🌿 We protect time.
🌿 We value thoughtful practice.
🌿 We support continuing education.
🌿 We collaborate.
🌿 We build each other up.
🌿 We lead with integrity.

We’re looking for someone with a strong primary care background and women’s health experience - someone who has already started leaning into menopause care and wants to deepen that expertise.

Not just a resume.
A person.
A teammate.
A builder. 🤍

If someone comes to mind, please tag them or message us. Word of mouth has always brought us the best people....and patients. 🤗

Thank you for being part of this community and helping us grow intentionally here in Fuquay. 🌸

🏈 Did y’all see that prostate cancer screening commercial during the Super Bowl last weekend? 👏 RELAX YOUR TIGHT END! 🥰

At Peri & Pause, we absolutely love caring for women - but we thought that message was stellar. It opened the door to an important conversation that too many families avoid.

Prostate cancer screening is simple. It’s a blood test. And for men over 40 - with or without a family history - it’s worth discussing with their provider. Can’t hurt, right? 🩵🩵 1 in 8 men will get this in their lifetime.

So while we’re here empowering women to take charge of their health, we’re also encouraging you to talk to the men in your life - husbands, partners, dads, brothers, friends. Ask them to get screened.

Early detection saves lives.
Start the conversation.

Tight ends everywhere can relax. Prostate cancer screening starts with a simple blood test. Find out if a PSA blood test is right for you today. Learn more a...

Every single day. Let’s GOOOO! 💫

🎙️ Sneak peek…

We’ve been working quietly behind the scenes on something that’s very close to our hearts.

We love caring for women one-on-one. Truly.
But we also know that every woman deserves this conversation - not just the ones who can walk through our doors.

This podcast is about empowerment.
About information that actually matters.
About helping women understand their bodies, trust themselves, and advocate for the care they deserve.

We believe changing one woman’s life matters deeply.
And we also believe that when you scale the conversation, you scale the impact.

More coming soon.
And we can’t wait to share it with you. 💗🎧

✨ Book We’re Loving Right Now ✨

If you’re in perimenopause or menopause, “The Menopause Brain” by Dr. Lisa Mosconi belongs on your list. 💗

This book does such a powerful job breaking down:

🌠 How estrogen supports brain energy, metabolism, and glucose use - and why fatigue and mental slowing can show up when levels shift

🌠 The connection between menopause and long-term brain health, including dementia risk, Alzheimer’s prevention, and cognitive aging

🌠 How sleep disruption in midlife is brain-driven, not just “stress” or aging and why it matters more than we’ve been told

🌠 Why women’s brains are uniquely adaptive in midlife, and how this transition can unlock clarity, creativity, and leadership potential rather than decline ⬅️ THIS!

As Amanda puts it:

“These changes aren’t meant to hurt us - they’re part of building a more resilient version of you.”

Our screening of The M Factor 2: Before the Pause was so good! 😊 Our Nurse Practitioners and staff LOVED meeting everyone and being in a room where women felt comfortable sharing their stories, experiences, and questions so openly.

What talked about advocating for yourself, how to seek care, understanding your body, and so much important information women are rarely given.

Huge thank you to RBF, Your Authentic Champagne Bar for hosting and to every woman who showed up, shared, listened, and supported one another. We’re so, SO grateful for this community. 💕
