The holidays can feel sparkly and magical… and also like a full-sensory attack on your nervous system. Midlife hormones don’t exactly help. Here are a few small shifts that might make this whole season feel more grounded, present, and actually enjoyable: 1. Give yourself 10 extra minutes in the morning. Just ten. Before the world needs you, give yourself a moment to land. Lemon water. Coffee. Matcha. Maybe a slow stretch. A few breaths. Journal if it feels good. Try not to scroll — your cortisol does not need Instagram at 6am. 2. Gratitude + clarity. Grab a pen and jot down 5 things you’re grateful for today. If you want to go deeper, ask yourself: “What would make this holiday better than ever?” Not perfect. Better. Get clear on the joy spots. That clarity becomes your boundary. Honour that. 3. Plan your meals (your future self will kiss you). Holiday snacks are adorable… until they’re running your life. A few days of constant “little bites” will catch up fast when your insulin and inflammation are already hanging on by a thread. Have nourishing meals ready — especially something big and cozy like a pot of soup you can reheat all week.This isn’t restriction. It’s support. (check out the recipes in the classroom section for some inspiration!) 4. Prioritize movement — intentionally, not intensely. Bundle up and take a walk. Meet a friend for a class. Throw on a 15-minute YouTube workout. Your body doesn’t need more, it needs something that helps regulate your stress and movement is GOLD for helping with that. 5. Make space for what actually brings you joy. A Netflix marathon.Your nightly soak. A quiet moment with the tree lit up. A tradition you love. Whatever it is — put it on the calendar like it matters… because it does. If you want a little structure during this busy, cortisol-spiking season… Join my 5-Day Cortisol Reset. It's only $20, lifetime access, with a simple meal plan + gentle workouts to help your body feel steady and supported through the chaos.

Feeling irritable or emotional for no reason? Perimenopause hormones are talking and they’re asking for care, not judgment. Movement, connection, and nutrition can actually help smooth the ride. What’s your favorite “mood booster” when days feel heavy?

Is anyone else feeling that weird November-to-December whiplash? One minute we’re running around doing Black Friday everything, the next minute the house is quiet, the cookies are in the oven, and our bodies are like: “Oh. So NOW you want to relax?” This time of year hits differently for women in perimenopause.The stress, the sugar, the late nights, the mental load… it all lands way harder than it used to. And nothing’s wrong with you — it’s literally your hormones trying to keep up with the pace of your life. Here’s what I notice every December (in my own body and from conversations with so many of you): • The 3pm energy crash • The “why am I craving bread and wine like it’s oxygen?” feeling • The tense jaw / tight chest / shallow breath • The blood sugar rollercoaster that turns you into a different person by dinner • The exhaustion that feels emotional as much as physical You’re in a hormonal season that needs support. What is at play here is biological. It has NOTHING to do with you. So here are three simple resets I swear by right now — totally doable even in the chaos: 1️⃣ The simplest nervous system hack: Exhale twice as long as you inhale. That’s it. No candles, no crystals, no sitting on a cushion for 45 minutes. Just try it: Inhale for 3.Exhale for 6.Do it 4–6 times. Lengthen the inhale to 4 if you can, and the exhale to 8. Your whole body will shift gears. This is how I pull myself out of that wired-but-tired December spiral — in the car, at the sink, walking the dog, hiding from my to-do list. 2️⃣ A blood sugar stabilizer that actually works: Protein + fiber before the carbs. It’s not sexy, but it’s basically magic. If you want your energy to stay even (and your mood… and your cravings… and your patience), try this order of eating:• protein first• veggies/fiber next• carbs last You can still eat all the holiday things — just don’t start with the shortbread. 😉 I also aim for 25–30g protein at breakfast, because it completely changes how steady I feel the rest of the day. Oh, and try having a savoury breakfast for a few days and let me know how it affects your cravings.

Hey loves — quick Sunday update for my Perimenopause Circle gals, because you’re my inner circle and I want you to have the behind-the-scenes scoop before everything kicks off tomorrow. Black Friday Deal Week starts tomorrow morning… and I built it with women like us in mind. Busy. Smart. Doing a million things. And honestly? Completely overwhelmed by the amount of midlife hormone + weight information floating around the internet. Here’s the truth: Most of you don’t need more information. You need help with implementation. And I say that with love because I lived it. I used to read every hormone book, try every supplement, track every gram of protein, walk more, cut carbs, try keto, berate myself for “not being disciplined enough” — and still felt inflamed, puffy, exhausted, anxious, and stuck. I knew EVERYTHING.But I wasn’t actually doing anything consistently… because it all felt like “one more thing.” What finally changed things for me was learning how to bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually being supported in doing it. And that’s what this whole week is about. Every deal is designed to help you implement the right things in the right order — not try harder.
