Kathy Garland, such an amazing asset to this WordPress community, has published my article about my experience with perimenopause so far. I am honored to be hosted at “Navigating the Change.” Please venture over and give the article a read. Thank you in advance!
Most women have no clue what our bodies can and cannot do.
I was never taught that my body would turn on me at the drop of a dime as soon as I celebrated a certain age — 39, to be exact. I had zero understanding of all that I began experiencing until I started doing research on my own. It is baffling and utterly mind-blowing the changes a woman must go through in order to feel settled and secure in the body she carries.
I wish someone would have said to me when I was in my 20s, “Listen, baby girl... now that you’ve reached this age, let me tell you what to expect when you get to your late 30s and early 40s. The proverbial shit will hit the fan, and everything you have become familiar with on and in your body will change in…

Oh wow, perimenopause hit me before I even knew what it was. That was more than 30 years ago when no one talked about it. Glad you are speaking up.

🙏🏾💙 There is no much information out there now. Thankfully, those of us going through it now, can get what we need if we look in the right places, and have providers so actually speak about it and acknowledge it.
Thank you for reading!

Great post trE. I think education about our own bodies, and the way they change over our lifetimes, has been terribly lacking over the years and it is not improving as much, and as fast, as it should. Cultural, and societal stigmas are often a hinderance but the biggest block to the sharing of knowledge is often embarrassment, and that is awful. No-one should ever be embarrassed by their own body.

Thank you for your honesty. I feel like we (especially women) don’t discuss our body and the changes we experience enough.

Girl trE, I’ll be hitting my mid-60s this summer and honey, nobody told me the road would be easy… but I don’t believe He brought me this far to leave me! 😜😲😝 I am still experiencing some “stuff” but I am grateful I don’t have greater health challenges beyond the hot flashes and occasional moodiness. You got this girl! 😱
