🌿 PERIMENOPAUSE — THROUGH A MĀORI LENS 🌿

Perimenopause isn’t something we need to hide, apologise for, or simply “put up with”.

For many wāhine, this is a time of whakawhiti — a transition from one stage of life into another.

Our tinana is changing.

Our hormones are shifting.

Our emotions may feel closer to the surface.

Our energy, sleep, relationships and sense of self can all be affected.

But perhaps this season is not about losing who we were…

Perhaps it is about meeting the wāhine we are becoming. ✨

From a Māori perspective, wellbeing is not just about the physical body.

It is about the connection between tinana, hinengaro, wairua and whānau.

So this wāhanga of life invites us to ask:

🌿 What is my tinana asking me to slow down and listen to?
🌿 What no longer serves my hinengaro?
🌿 What is my wairua trying to reconnect me with?
🌿 Who am I becoming as a wāhine?
🌿 What boundaries do I need to strengthen?
🌿 What mātauranga can I reclaim and pass on?

Perimenopause can be uncomfortable, messy and bloody confusing 🫤but it can also be a powerful rite of passage.

We are not broken.
We are not “too emotional”.
We are not past our prime.

We are transitioning.

He wā hou.
He wahine hou.
He mana hou. ❤️

Kia whakarongo ki tō tinana.
Kia tiaki i tō wairua.
Kia manaaki i a koe anō.

Because sometimes the greatest transformation begins when we stop fighting our changing body… and start listening to what she is telling us. 🌺

✨ HAVE A F**K IT DAY ✨

Today, give yourself permission to say:

F**k it.
I’m not explaining myself.
I’m not chasing anyone.
I’m not fixing everyone’s problems.
I’m not feeling guilty for resting.
I’m not shrinking myself to make others comfortable.

Today I’m choosing me.
My peace.
My energy.
My wairua.
My happiness.

Sometimes you don’t need another plan, another lesson or another healing journey…

Sometimes you just need to say:

“F**k it — today I’m choosing myself.” 😂❤️

He rā mōku.
Today is my day 💜

✨ COLLATERAL BEAUTY ✨

Sometimes life breaks us open in ways we never asked for.

In the grief.
In the endings.
In the disappointments.
In the moments where we wonder, “Why me?”

But sometimes, hidden amongst the pain, there is a beauty we couldn’t see at first.

A deeper understanding of ourselves.
New beginnings.
Stronger boundaries.
Unexpected connections.
A softer heart.
A clearer sense of who we are and what truly matters.

That is collateral beauty — the gifts that quietly emerge from experiences we never would have chosen.

He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata. ❤️

So don’t rush yourself through the hard seasons.
There may be beauty growing alongside the pain.

Your wairua knows the way.
Trust the journey. 🌿✨

Sometimes what tried to break you becomes part of what beautifully remakes you 💜

😂🙄 A MESSAGE FROM THE SPIRITUAL AUNTY 🙄😂

Please don’t come into my inbox asking me to PROVE MYSELF before you book a reading because some other “reader” has filled your head with their bu****it.

“But Marty/Mardi said…” 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sis… respectfully… I wasn’t there. 😂

I’m not competing with Marty, Mardi, Marty-from-down-the-road or anyone else.

I don’t need to prove my gifts, my mahi or my integrity to someone who has already decided what they believe based on somebody else’s kōrero.

If you want to experience my mahi — book a reading.

If you don’t — that’s perfectly okay too. ❤️

But please don’t come asking me to audition for a job I’ve already been doing for years. 😂😂

My mahi speaks for itself.
My wairua speaks for itself.
And my clients speak for themselves.

Māku taku mahi. Māu tō whiringa.
I’ll do my mahi. You make your choice.

And remember…

✨ Your wairua doesn’t need someone else’s permission to guide you. ✨

✨ LOOK BACK THROUGH ADULT EYES ✨

Sometimes we look back at our past through the eyes of the child we once were.

We remember the hurt.

The rejection.

The things we didn’t understand.

The moments where we felt unseen, unheard or not enough.

But what if, just for a moment, you looked back through adult eyes?

Not to dismiss what happened.

Not to excuse anyone.

But to see the bigger picture with the understanding, strength and wisdom you have gained since then.

That child didn’t have the knowledge you have today.

You do.

You can now see that some things were never your fault.

Some burdens were never yours to carry.

Some people were doing the best they could with what they had.

And some things simply should never have happened.

Your wairua has carried you through.

So when you revisit the past, don’t only ask,
“Why did this happen to me?”

Ask yourself:

“What can I see now that I couldn’t see then?”

Look back with compassion.
Look back with wisdom.
Look back with aroha.

Because you are no longer that child.

You are the adult who survived it, learned from it, and gets to choose what happens next. 🌿

He iti te kōpara, ka rerekē te titiro — sometimes a change in perspective changes everything.

🖤 Ko au tōku Rongoā — I am my own medicine 💜

✨ EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY ✨

Maybe not today.

Maybe not in the way you imagined.

Maybe you can’t see how things are going to work out right now.

But breathe. 🌿

You don’t have to have all the answers.

You don’t have to know the whole path.

You only need to take the next step.

Trust that what is meant for you will find you.

Trust your wairua.

Trust the lessons.

Trust that even the hard seasons are shaping you into someone stronger, wiser and more connected to who you truly are.

What feels like an ending may simply be a redirection.

What feels like a setback may be protection.

What feels uncertain may be the beginning of something beautiful.

You will get through this.

You have survived every difficult day so far.

So today, be gentle with yourself.

One breath.
One step.
One day at a time.

🌿 Everything will be okay.

✨ Kia kaha.

Trust your journey.

Trust your wairua 💜

🔥 DON’T CONFUSE VISIBILITY WITH HEALING ABILITY 🔥

Just because someone is constantly on social media, has thousands of followers, or is always telling you how amazing their mahi is… doesn’t automatically make them the right person to work with.

There are many powerful healing facilitators who work quietly behind the scenes.

They aren’t chasing likes.
They aren’t competing for attention.
They aren’t constantly trying to prove their worth.

Their mahi speaks for itself.

People find them through word of mouth, trust, whakapapa, relationships and wairua. 🌿

Because sometimes the person you are meant to see won’t be the loudest person on your feed.

You might simply hear their name.
Feel drawn to them.
Keep thinking about them.
Or have that quiet feeling inside that says…

“I need to go see them.”

Listen to that.

Your wairua knows things your mind hasn’t caught up with yet.

Not everything sacred needs to be performed publicly.

Not every healer needs a massive following.

And not every person doing meaningful mahi needs to prove themselves to strangers online.

Popularity is not always proof.

Visibility is not always validation.

And social media presence is not the measure of someone’s wairua-led mahi.

Sometimes the right person is the one you were quietly guided to find. ✨

Trust your wairua. It may already know where you need to go.

✨ BUILD YOUR DREAM — NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S ✨

Stop waiting for the perfect time.

Stop waiting for someone to believe in you.

Stop shrinking your dreams to make other people comfortable.

Your dream doesn’t have to make sense to everyone else.

It just has to make sense to you. ❤️

Build it from the lessons you’ve learned.

Build it from the things you’ve survived.

Build it from your passion, your purpose and your whakapapa.

Some days you’ll feel inspired.

Some days you’ll question everything.

Some days you’ll have to build it quietly, with nobody cheering you on.

Keep going.

Because one day you’ll look around and realise…

🌿 I built this.
🌿 I believed in myself.
🌿 I didn’t give up on the vision.

Your dream is not too big.

Your beginning is not too small.

And it’s never too late to create the life you’ve been imagining.

Moe mai rā te mataku. Whāia te wawata.

Let fear rest. Follow the dream.

✨ A LITTLE REMINDER ✨

You don’t have to have everything figured out today.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is slow down, take a breath, and give yourself permission to simply BE. 🌿

Not every situation needs your response.
Not every person needs access to you.
Not every problem is yours to fix.

Protect your peace.
Listen to your wairua.
Trust what you already know deep within you. ❤️

Remember…

You are not behind.
You are not failing.
You are becoming.

Take today gently.

Do something that fills your cup, makes you laugh, brings you peace or reconnects you with the people and things that matter most.

🌿 Ko au tōku Rongoā — I am my own medicine. 🌿

Arohanui,
The Spiritual Aunty ✨
