The perimenopause compound

The Perimenopause Compound. When perimenopause arrives, it rarely arrives alone.

Sleep, energy, mood, the body, boundaries, motherhood, trauma, and years of self-abandonment can all surface at once - creating what I call the perimenopause compound.

This is not simply a list of symptoms to manage. It is a profound transition in which hormonal change can affect sleep, mood, energy, and the menstrual cycle, while the pressures of life, care, and old patterns make everything feel heavier. Perimenopause symptoms can include night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, and changes in the cycle, and they can last for years.

In this extract from my forthcoming book, I share the truth I had to learn for myself: your body is not betraying you. It is speaking.
