I didn’t know the autumn of my life would involve so much grief.

(Even though as a November baby, I love this season. 🍂)

I’ve lost people, places, beliefs, and patterns in the past several years.

The grief is one surprise.

A second surprise: grief is kind of beautiful?

Autumn is metal season. Metal is about refinement: things polished until they shine. ✨

I’m finding that loss brings refinement, because it invites honesty, if you look at it without flinching.

And honesty is also beautiful, a third surprise, after decades of avoiding truths I didn’t want to face.

So I’m 55. My hair is mostly silver. (Love it! 😍) I don’t recognize my own body. (Struggle with it! 🫣)

Nothing in life looks the way it used to: home, relationships, work.

The fourth surprise? I feel more myself than I ever have.

Metal season is polishing me up and showing me the me that was always there, under layers of stuff that wasn’t mine. 🪩

Turns out that maybe part of our work is to find honesty and the strength it brings with it. Yours is there too. I promise. 🧡

When I finally realized I might be in perimenopause, my GYN blew me off, my graduate program taught me nothing, the books I found were 20 years old, and all my friends were just as confused as me.

One of the good parts about perimenopause being so trendy right now is that we get to talk about it, and hopefully those who come next will feel a lot less in the dark.

Did you know that there are well over 100 identified symptoms of perimenopause?

And they can get REALLY odd, like itchy ears. Or smelling like onions. Or a burning tongue.

I told you mine! Your turn 😉

Of course we should address hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings in perimenopause. And of course we should do what we can to preserve our bones, muscles, heart, and brain.

But that focus of care, if it’s the ONLY focus, misses a deeper question: one that everyone gets asked at 16 but almost nobody gets asked at 46. Let’s ask it. Your health is your whole self, not just your body.

Your rage tells a story. Knowing that story is a powerful catalyst for change: in your emotional and physical health and in how you’re showing up in the world. Book a free call and we’ll talk.

Healing long-held patterns doesn’t always begin physically. Sometimes it looks like admitting a thing you haven’t felt like you could (or should) admit. When we deny our reality, things continue to feel stuck…and yeah, decades of being stuck? THAT shows up in your body for sure.

You probably know how to take care of everyone else.

But how well are you listening to—and caring for—you?

On October 25, I’ll be part of a gathering of just 20 women for an afternoon devoted to exactly that.

She Bravely Returns: An Immersive Women’s Wellness & Writing Experience brings together local practitioners in writing, Chinese medicine, nutrition and midlife wellness, skincare, and Gua Sha to explore one central idea:

What might change if we cared for ourselves from the inside out?

This isn’t a conference where you sit and listen all afternoon. You’ll move through intimate, experiential sessions with me (learn what your pulse is telling you!); Ally Berthiaume of The Write Place, Right Time; Liza Baker of Simply: Health Coaching; and Corey Camerlengo of Bud & Bloom Aesthetics—and leave with insights and practices you can actually bring home with you.

🍂 Sunday, October 25
⏰ 1:00–4:30 PM
📍 The Sanctuary for Healing & Liberation | Chace Mill, Burlington
👥 Limited to 20 participants
🎟 Early Bird: $97 for the first 7 seats | Regular: $125

For more information and to reserve your spot at this wonderful afternoon, head to the link in my bio ⬆️

Come back to yourself.
