Midlife Flow

Perimenopause isn’t just about surviving the rollercoaster—it's a chance to pause, reassess, and come home to yourself. Yes, your hormones are shifting. Your moods might feel unpredictable. Your body may not respond the way it used to. But instead of resisting these changes, what if you leaned into them? What if this stage of life became your biggest catalyst for healing, growth, and radical self-care? As I’ve navigated my own midlife transition - while juggling motherhood, marriage, and healing from burnout - I created a list of 30 goals that support not just your hormones , but your mindset, nervous system, gut, and soul.

Let me be really honest with you... There was a time not that long ago when I found myself crying over a banana. Not even a sad banana - just a regular one I’d dropped on the kitchen floor while rushing to make lunch for the kids. In that moment, I felt totally unhinged. And I had no idea why. That was one of MANY moments that made me realise: something deeper was going on with my body. My hormones were not just “off” - they were running the show. If you’ve ever felt like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster for no apparent reason, or like your body’s suddenly doing things you don’t recognise... I get it. And I want to tell you about something simple that really helped me start making sense of it all: journaling. Not the fluffy, dear-diary kind. Just real, honest tracking.
