Most women go into a hysterectomy expecting recovery to be fairly straightforward.

A few weeks of rest.
A follow-up appointment.
Then life goes back to normal.

But for many women, that's not what happens.

What surprises them isn't always the surgery itself.

It's everything that comes after.

The pelvic floor changes no one mentioned.

The hormonal shifts that can happen even when your ovaries are left in place.

The emotions that seem to appear out of nowhere.

The moments where you wonder,
"Why didn't anyone tell me this?"

Here's what shocked me:

1 in 3 women will have a hysterectomy by age 60.

That's not a rare surgery.

It's one of the most common procedures women undergo.

And yet so many women still feel completely unprepared for recovery.

Over the next couple of weeks, I'm sharing some of the things women deserve to know before and after hysterectomy.

Not to scare you.

To help you feel informed, supported, and more confident about what to expect.

✨ Recovery isn't linear.

Many women expect to feel better quickly after surgery, but healing often takes longer than anticipated. Some days you may feel strong and hopeful, while other days you may need more rest and support.

Both experiences are normal.

Give yourself permission to heal at your own pace. Rest is not a sign of weakness or a lack of progress. It's an essential part of recovery.

Your body is doing important work behind the scenes. Trust the process, be kind to yourself, and remember that every step forward counts. 💛

Women were never meant to navigate midlife alone.

The journey through perimenopause and menopause can feel overwhelming, but healing happens differently when we feel seen, understood, and supported by others who truly get it.

That’s exactly why Pause Together was created — a safe, supportive community where women can connect, share experiences, and find guidance through every stage of midlife.

You don't have to do this alone. 💜

DM us to learn more and take the first step towards feeling supported, empowered, and connected.

Your body is not failing you.
It may simply be asking for more support. 🤍

Midlife symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, disrupted sleep, and feeling constantly “on edge” are often signs of an overwhelmed nervous system — not a sign that you’re doing something wrong.

Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with doing more.
Sometimes it begins with slowing down, creating safety, nourishing your body, and giving yourself permission to rest.

Small shifts can create meaningful healing.

Many women prepare for the surgery.
But very few are prepared for everything that comes after.

The fatigue that lingers longer than expected.
The emotional ups and downs.
The nervous system overwhelm.
The grief, relief, anger, or identity shifts that can quietly surface during recovery.

Hysterectomy healing is not only physical.
It’s emotional, mental, hormonal, and deeply personal too.

You deserve support that cares for the whole woman — not just the procedure.

I had so much fun spreading the word of midlife wellness and why it’s so important to seek help and support!

The connection between hysterectomy and osteoporosis risk is backed by a growing body of research. Most women are never told. Swipe to see what the studies show and why bone health belongs in every post-op conversation.

Mother’s Day in perimenopause while raising kids in puberty is really just a house full of people crying, sweating, slamming doors, and asking what’s for dinner 😅

Honestly… good luck to all of us.

Wishing you a day of whatever you need 💐

Jumping is one of the most effective ways to load your bones and protect against osteoporosis as you age.

But if leaking or pain has quietly moved it off the table, that’s not just a pelvic floor issue... it’s a bone health issue too.

The good news: both are addressable. Your body needs the right support to get back to doing the things that keep it strong.

That’s exactly what we’re digging into in the upcoming Bone Health in Menopause workshop. We’ll talk about what your bones actually need in midlife, why impact matters, and how to start rebuilding confidence in your body again.

An afternoon of movement, conversation, and community for anyone navigating the menopause years. Join four local experts for yoga, strength training, a panel discussion on bone health, and nourishing food — all in one afternoon.

Here’s what’s included:
Yoga class
Strength training class
Osteoporosis risk factor discussion
Panel on menopause and bone health
Smoothies and acai bowls by B56 Nutrition
Discounts from participating sponsors

Featuring expert speakers: Emily Carle FNP, Kara Douglas of Fishmoon Yoga, Dr. Amanda Cardella of Aegle Radiant Health and myself!
