Perimenopause can feel like our whole inner world cracks open at once — even when we've done years of therapy and personal development. In this episode, I explain why that intensity is not a malfunction. It is a deliberate hormonal shift that ends suppression, opens the subconscious, and activates dormant potential simultaneously.
I cover:
Why the hormonal shift in perimenopause is designed — not a decline or an ovarian failure
The oestrogen veil lifting and what it opens in the subconscious
Why unresolved feelings, abandoned parts of self, and dormant potential all surface together
Cutting out the noise, slowing down, and creating the space this transition demands
The old self composting — why identity can feel like a costume, and why that's right
The 3am wake-up loop as a completion signal, and a practical way to work with it
Isolation as one of the hardest parts of perimenopause — and why we need our sisters
The broken transmission from wise women and why oral guidance from lived experience matters
Circadian rhythm support and living in tune with nature — what changed my sleep in two days
My own three years of perimenopause retreat, and what's supported me through
I also share my personal experience — including what it's actually felt like to go through this nose to the fire, and what I'm coming out the other side knowing.
