Perimenopause: A Time of Expansion, Reconnection and Empowered Change

Perimenopause is often spoken about through a negative lens. A time for grieving our younger self and the vibrant energy we once took for granted.  Navigating uninvited health concerns through a haze of confusion. 

What if we could reframe this transition as a sacred portal? A call to return to ourselves, to realign with what truly matters and to step into our next chapter with clarity and power.

As hormone levels fluctuate, many women experience a deep sense of unrest or questioning.

What once fulfilled us may no longer feel aligned. This isn’t a flaw, it’s a feature. 

Perimenopause invites us to pause and ask:

• What is no longer serving me?

• What have I been tolerating?

• What am I truly craving now?

  
  

This new chapter often stirs a reassessment of values, relationships, work and even identity.

It’s a powerful opportunity to let go of what we 'should' be doing and to reconnect with our authenticity and inner power.

In a world that encourages us to be continuously busy and ‘doing’, perimenopause nudges us towards ‘being’. Going inward and reconnecting with our intuition is where we truly expand.

The shifting hormones can heighten emotional sensitivity and inner awareness.  Our feminine energy, so often suppressed or devalued, begins to rise with new clarity and urgency. When we honour this energy, we awaken to a more intuitive and embodied way of living.

Practices that are beneficial for creating connection and purpose:

• Mindful rest and reflection

• Journaling

• Breathwork, meditation or time in nature

• Creative expression through movement, art, or voice 

This phase is not a decline, it’s a rebirth. When you release outdated roles and habits, you create an opportunity for growth and change.

You might feel called to:

• Start a new project or creative venture

• Shift careers or redefine your purpose

• Deepen your spiritual path

• Build new rhythms that honour your body’s needs

• Set stronger boundaries in relationships

  
  

This isn’t a fast moving phase, it's your soul calling out for deeper alignment. To release what no longer serves you and to reconnect with your feminine wisdom. When you slow down the pace and honour this transformational phase, you can create a more authentic and empowered life.

You are not breaking down.

You are breaking open.
