Get rid of your triple chin by looking up from you phone, be aware of those around you, and for goodness sakes throw a smile.

Yes! It’s the feeling unheard part. There’s comfort knowing that what we experience is normal and building that community can be helpful for sharing stories and experiences. πŸ’œ

A sleep mask on top of a cloud made out of a bed sheet. The words read: Good Night: Restful Sleep for Perimenopausal Relief.

I created a sleep cast for my perimenopause/menopause crowd who find themselves dealing with sleepless nights. Check out the first episode on Spotify or Substack. Let me know how you like it! πŸ’€

I had to look up PCOS, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that too! I’m sure it doesn’t make the symptoms any better. Enjoy your bacon sandwich. That sounds perfect. 🀩

Ok def need to read this. I noticed that I wasn’t able to sing high like I used to when I got in my perimenopausal phase. Thought I was going crazy. Can’t wait to read this.

Yikes I had no idea that melatonin was bad in high doses.
I would recommend Magnesium to help with sleep and it has a calming effect as well. I got the powder and drink that before bed and it works better than melatonin for me.

For me it was a strange feeling that started at the tip of my head and it felt like I was burning from the inside. lol It could be perimenopause or you were just doing so much at one time. Congrats on being productive!! 🌟

I did a podcast on this subject. I was in the video game industry for a long time and menopause would neeeeeever be a topic we’d discuss bc of the fear of immediately losing our credibility. Your service is definitely something that is needed for all employers. ✨
