Sitting in the ER, Wondering If the Pain Would Ever Go Away
Do you find yourself falling into this common mindset trap?
As a mom, juggling the demands of everyday life can leave you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. It's easy to put your own health on the back-burner, but prioritizing preventative care is essential for your well-being as well as your kids. To help paint the picture I'm going to use my client as an example, let's call her Jane. She is a mom married in her 30s with 2 kids, ages 6 & 4. We started working together so she could have more energy to keep up with the kids, stop stressing and enjoy life.
Perimenopause is such a significant time in our lives, but it often gets overlooked. You might think it's just a stepping stone to menopause, but it's so much more than that. It's a phase filled with its own unique symptoms and challenges. Picture it like a transition period when your body is slowly starting to decrease its female hormones, but you're still having periods and could even get pregnant, though it's becoming less likely. Then, once you've gone 12 months without a period, you've officially reached menopause, and that's when you enter the postmenopause phase of life.
