Before grounding comes holding, and the more I hold myself, the more grounded, and flexible, I become.

I thought perimenopause was something to manage. Instead, it’s becoming a map guiding me through the Spirit, the Culture, and the Body. It’s asking me to rethink how I move, how I live, and how I belong to myself. Midlife really can be medicine.

Caring had become part of my identity without realising, but when my mother’s dog, Dona, passed, something deeply shifted. Through loss and transition, I continue to learn that every ending holds an invitation and a chance to release the old roles to come home to ourselves.

They say Ayahuasca starts working the moment you say yes to commune with her. I think the same is true for life itself. I went looking for answers and found a lesson I didn’t expect; one that is still unfolding and anchoring me into a new kind of power.

Perimenopause feels, to me, like life giving us one more chance to get our s**t together; it’s a serious and profound invitation to love and respect ourselves once and for all. No pretending. No pushing. No comparing… but coming home to our bodies, our truth, and our hearts.
