In today's episode I talk about how much patience we need to have with ourselves, others and our perimenopause journey.

32 min - 10 - The Importance of Rest
In today's episode I talk about how important it is to rest , especially during perimenopause. The last few months have been very busy and so I decided to make April all about prioritizing rest for myself. I know how challenging it can be when we feel like we have a never ending to-do list each day and when society places emphasis on productivity and achievement, which can lead to burnout. Tune in and join me in making April a month all about rest and recovery.

Hi, I’m in my mid-forties and riding the perimenopause rollercoaster. I also am 7 years into my sugar addiction recovery and have struggled so much this past year because of all my perimenopause…
symptoms. This podcast will be 30 minutes snapshots of my life as a sugar addict trying to manage perimenopause. Oh and working full-time and parenting 2 kids and juggling all of the things! I hope to inspire other women, make you laugh or at least make you feel less alone on this crazy journey.
