Perimenopause is a powerful transition. And sometimes, a challenging one. I can feel how much my body is changing. There are days when I feel tired — even though my sleep hygiene is solid. I nourish my body well. I move a lot. As a personal trainer, I also want to lead by example.💪🏻 Since my total hysterectomy about a year and a half ago, I’ve immersed myself even more deeply in women’s health — especially menopause, post-menopause, how training shifts, how nutrition needs evolve, and how we can support our hormones instead of fighting them.🙏🏻💛 And still… there are nights when cortisol has its own plan. Last night I woke up at 3:40 a.m.😞 I tried to fall back asleep. Had some water. Waited. It didn’t happen. I could have been frustrated. Instead, I chose differently.🤗 I hadn’t been at my pottery wheel for weeks. Yesterday afternoon I planned to sit down and create — but the weather was so beautiful that I spent hours in the garden instead, bringing it back to life.🌱 So this morning, before sunrise, I sat at the wheel. In the quiet. In the stillness. While the world was slowly waking up.🌅 And it felt like a gift. Of course, I could focus on the disrupted sleep. But I’d rather focus on what was created in that unexpected pocket of time. Now I’m heading to work — and later I can return to the garden without that lingering thought of “I really wish I had time for the wheel.” Sometimes the positive meaning isn’t in the perfect plan. It’s in how we respond to what is.🥰 Maybe one of the most important lessons of this phase of life is this: Don’t fight your body. Learn to work with it. 🤍

@Suza Roswandowicz i made you some pictures of Saunie enjoying his sauna!!! I just love him!!!

It makes me happy that Nat sent a video of how she's enjoying the '"sponge holder" I sent her. It's not a sponge holder at all to her, and she's named him Godfrey. It's so gratifying when someone comes back to you with how a piece makes them smile. https://youtube.com/shorts/Rd47G0QY7no

I’m currently watching Angela throw live on my phone — and it’s just the most beautiful thing. Gigi is there, Sarah, Pat, Denise, Mary, Ronda… and Lori from Wandering Soul too. We’re all in the chat together, reacting, cheering her on. And it hit me. We’re all there… but we can’t actually talk to each other. So let’s change that. 💪🏻 What if we start a weekly community call?🪿 We could pick a time that works best for most of us, and then meet once a week right here on Skool. Just one hour. Nothing complicated. Everyone who wants to can share their “Piece of the Week” — something you’re working on, something you finished, a struggle, a question, an idea. You’ll have the space to show your work, ask for feedback, and just connect.✨ No pressure. Just pottery people hanging out, supporting each other. What do you think? Would you join? 💛

Good morning, my sweet little mice ☀️ I’m sitting here with my small pre-work breakfast and suddenly had a very important question… How do you like your eggs? Soft-boiled with a runny yolk? Hard-boiled? Sunny-side up? Scrambled? Poached? Eggs Benedict? Or any other masterpiece? I honestly believe eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world. Packed with high-quality protein, healthy fats, choline, vitamins, minerals — they’re simple, but incredibly powerful. And I’m especially grateful to have my own chickens, so I know exactly where my eggs come from and what kind of quality I’m getting. That makes breakfast even better. Now it’s your turn: Show me your breakfast eggs! 🥚✨ And one more important question… Do you use egg cups? 👀 If yes — I want to see your masterpieces! It’s the weekend — maybe you’ve made something beautiful. Drop your egg pictures below! Let’s see what’s cooking in this community 💛
