Today's topic is one I know so many of us live with — having a hard time getting to sleep, or waking up around 3 AM and not being able to go back to sleep.

If that's you, you're not alone, and there's nothing wrong with you. Sleep changes in perimenopause and menopause are so common, and those wide-awake middle-of-the-night hours can feel lonely. I get it.

A couple of small things that help me: I keep my wind-down simple — after I brush my teeth, that's my signal to slow down for the evening. And if I do wake in the night, I try not to fight it or check the clock over and over. A quiet room, a slow breath, and letting my body settle again.

So tell me — is sleep the hard part for you right now? Falling asleep, staying asleep, or that 3 AM wake-up? I'd love to hear what your nights have been like. We're figuring this out together, one small step at a time. 💛

No pressure and no perfect score.

Hi! I’m Cindy!

A lot of new people here and I want to introduce myself to you.

I am a retired nurse who is still working from home. I am a wife, mom, grandmother, sister and aunt!

I love my family and getting to do things with them is always a great way to spend my time!!

Sharing healthy lifestyle practices is my passion for women going through midlife and beyond!

> People sometimes ask what I actually use myself in menopause. I keep it simple: enough protein to protect muscle and steady my energy, real hydration, and a morning routine I can stick to on my busiest days.
>
> The products I reach for check those boxes for me — and honestly, consistency is what makes any of it work.
>
> Curious what I use, and why it fits this season of life? Ask me below. 👇

I share my wellness faves here—but I realized I may have skipped a little detail… 😂

I’m also an Advocate for women’s hormone health swaps!

That means me, little old me, created a side business to help support my family through the holiday season and beyond by sharing products with YOU that I love through and through and am confident - you will too!

For me, it started with what drew me to Hugh & Grace. The product I keep reaching for? The Hydrate Detox Routine and Protein, because I take a GLP 1 and I am post menopause I was looking for relief from the Fatigue, Brain Fog, stalled weight loss, acid reflux and I needed a good Protein to supplement my intake.

This November, I’m getting more intentional about sharing what I use, answering your questions, and letting you see a little more of this part of my life.

So consider this an open invitation to be curious. 🫶

What would you want to know—my favorite products, where to start, or what being an Advocate actually involves?

Ask below or message me. I’m happy to share!

Anyone else have a cabinet full of wellness products… but only a few you actually use consistently? 🙋‍♀️😂

The ones you reach for on busy mornings. The ones you pack when you travel. The ones you tell a friend about because they’ve become part of your everyday life.

This November, I’m getting more intentional about sharing my favorites, how I use them, and why I keep coming back to them. ❤️

Because sometimes seeing how something fits into someone else’s real life makes it easier to figure out where to start.

So tell me—which routine could use a little more consistency right now?

💧 Staying hydrated
🍳 Getting enough protein
🌙 Making time to wind down
🧴 Taking care of your skin
🚶‍♀️ Moving your body

November is a busy month and I have my calendar ready and scheduled to keep me on track with my work schedules.

> Did you know? More than half of women ages 30 to 35 surveyed in a 2025 study reported moderate to severe symptoms on the Menopause Rating Scale.
>
> More than half. In their early 30s.
>
> If you think you’re too young to pay attention, I understand — I did too, and as a nurse, nobody ever sat me down and explained perimenopause to me either. I learned it the hard way.
>
> Here’s what surprised me most: the first changes usually aren’t hot flashes. They’re the mood changes, the anxiety that feels out of proportion, the irritability, the poor sleep, the brain fog — the things so many women blame on stress or just getting older. And most women wait years before they ever ask a doctor about it.
>
> Understanding what’s changing — and talking about new symptoms with your healthcare provider — can help you get support sooner. That’s not medical advice from me; that’s just common sense from a nurse who wishes she’d known sooner.
>
> That’s why I’m sharing the simple routine I’ve stuck with for two years (swipe to see my foundational products) — and why I’m inviting you to learn alongside me.
>
> Join me for the free 14-day “How to Peri” challenge, starting November 2. It’s education first: a guide to read, then daily messages, posts, short videos, and live Zoom sessions. No purchase required to join — you can follow along with products you already use and love, or ours if you want them.

> Comment PERI or message me, and I’ll send you the sign-up link and add you to our private group.
>
> You are not too young to understand your own body. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Here’s what actually happens in the 14 days, so there’s no mystery:

You read a short guide first, so you’re ready. Then for 14 days you get a daily message by email, a post that follows the guide, short videos along the way, and live Zoom sessions where you can learn more, ask questions, and check in.

It’s free. It’s about perimenopause, menopause, and beyond — because what changes in this season keeps changing, and understanding it changes everything.

I’m doing it, and I’d love 5 women to do it with me. Starts November 2.

Sign up here (name and email only) and I’ll send you the guide and your link.
