Midlife Without the Rules: How I Created Space for Myself During Perimenopause


Listen Later

Midlife can feel like it's dismantling everything you once relied on - your identity, relationships, routines, and sense of direction. For many women, this unraveling begins during perimenopause and menopause.

In this episode of The Daily Surrender, Jennifer Ragazzo explores why midlife often brings a loss of tolerance for hustle, multitasking, people-pleasing, and constant doing. Rather than a breakdown, these changes reflect biological and spiritual wisdom calling women into a more embodied, present way of living.

Jennifer shares her lived experience of slowing down, releasing rigid rules, and creating nervous system safety during perimenopause not through protocols or performance, but through rhythm, rest, and self-trust. This conversation reframes menopause as an initiation that invites authenticity, discernment, and deeper alignment.

This episode is for midlife women who feel disoriented, more sensitive, or less willing to live the way they once did and want language for what's happening inside their body, mind, and soul.

Topics include:

  • Perimenopause and menopause as identity shifts

  • Why midlife dismantles old patterns and roles

  • Nervous system regulation and embodied living

  • Releasing productivity, performance, and people-pleasing

  • Trusting the season instead of forcing change

If midlife feels uncomfortable but meaningful, this episode offers clarity, relief, and permission to listen more deeply.
