Hello loves,I’m back! I took the summer off to spend time with family and enjoy a slower pace. I wish I had a clear message to share but I have been having some thoughts. Of course they relate to mid-life, which means peri- and menopause. I’m circling around the idea of officially focusing my practice around this life stage, so if this newsletter no longer feels relevant to you then please unsubscribe! As I have probably said before, much of my coaching work revolves around energy management, and so I have been using myself as a guinea pig. In the past few months I have picked up some bits of wisdom around slow living, embracing the hurkle-durkle, learning to pace myself and accepting that I prefer puttering to pursuing singular goals. I have been exploring finding the right amount of effort to keep things moving and knowing when to ramp up, slow it down or take a break. Basically I have been practicing strategies to avoid burnout before life gets busy again. Shifting into this more intuitive way of moving through life feels more aligned but also uncertain. Without that familiar push of effort and exertion, I have to just trust myself to get things done. Hormonal shifts also mean I’m feeling less motivation in general so that is tough to navigate. These more subtle symptoms of peri-menopause fascinate me and I would love to hear your thoughts. Creating a sense of community and support around mid life is my jam, so I am excited to announce a live coaching event coming up! I will be leading a discussion about (what else?) menopause, followed by a sound bath led by the amazing Jessica. Click the link below to register.
