Leading through perimenopause has quietly changed how I relate to leadership, certainty, and meaning. As my body has shifted, I’ve found myself reconnecting with the cosmos; with astrology, symbolism, and the wisdom of the stars.

Not as prediction, but as perspective. And I’m noticing I’m not alone. Many women I work with are reaching for something bigger, higher, and steadier than the daily noise of the world. When earthly systems feel chaotic and change feels relentless, we instinctively look to deeper wisdom and longer cycles for reassurance. Our ancestors understood this instinct well. I’m sharing the reflections below in the hope that they offer comfort, context, and a sense of readiness for what comes next.

Start with your heart. Yes. But don’t forget your mind.

One of the most powerful pieces of personal development work is taking your inner critic to bootcamp. Until we become aware of our saboteur’s voice, we can’t truly lead from wisdom.
