If there is one thing I wish every woman knew about perimenopause, it’s this: you deserve to understand what is happening in your body.
Not every symptom is “just getting older”. Not every change needs to be endured. And you certainly don’t have to get through this transition armed with a handful of Google searches and a vague sense that something isn’t quite right.
Over the years, I’ve created a whole library of conversations, guides, and personal reflections to help women make sense of this season, from the science of hormones and HRT to brain fog, weight changes, blood sugar, cholesterol, mental health, sleep, movement, cycle changes, and the strange experience of sometimes feeling like a stranger in your own skin.
There are also conversations with experts including Dr Louise Newson, Dr Andrea Caamaño, Kate Codrington and Cynthia Thurlow, NP, alongside practical guides and resources you can return to whenever you need them.
So, for Perimenopause Awareness Month, I’ve gathered them all together in one place.
Whether you’re wondering “Is this perimenopause?”, trying to understand your hormones, supporting a friend or partner, considering HRT, or simply looking for reassurance that you are not imagining what you’re experiencing, there is something here for you.
And please remember: knowledge isn’t about becoming your own doctor; it’s about becoming a more informed participant in your own healthcare. As Dr Louise Newson says in our conversation, “Understanding how hormones affect your whole body and brain matters, and women should not suffer in silence.”
Consider this your Perimenopause Library. Save it. Come back to it. Share it with a woman who needs it.
You are not failing. Your body is changing. And understanding that change can be incredibly empowering.

There is quite a lot here. And that’s actually the point.
I’ve spent years creating these resources because I kept hearing the same thing from women: “I just don’t know where to start.” And, honestly? I never had one place to send you.
Until now.
I’ve gathered my most personal and practical resources into one collection because you shouldn’t have to go searching through years of my work to find the thing you need today.
So if you’re navigating perimenopause, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand this transition better, start here.
And if you want the resources themselves — trackers, workbooks, journals, and practical tools for the wider midlife journey — I’ve gathered those together too.
There’s the reinvention work: the honest, sometimes uncomfortable process of looking at your life and asking what still fits and what quietly stopped fitting a long time ago.
There’s the body work: a comprehensive perimenopause and menopause symptoms tracker, because you cannot advocate for yourself if you don’t know what’s actually happening, and a gut health and metabolism tracker for the woman who wants to understand her body rather than fight it.
There’s the identity work: a confidence journal, a seasonal planning workbook, a relationships & connections journal, a Human Design guide for the woman who is done living by everyone else’s blueprint and is finally ready to understand her own.
And then there’s the poetry.
Becoming Whole: Poems for Midlife Growth and Grace is perhaps the most personal thing in this collection. Poems don’t explain. They don’t instruct. They just sit beside you in the moment and say, “Yes, me too!”
I wrote those poems in the same late evenings as everything else. At the same kitchen table. With the same cold tea.
Knowledge doesn’t mean you have to figure everything out alone. It means you can walk into the conversation better informed, ask better questions, listen to your body, and make choices from a place of greater understanding.
You are not imagining it. You are not failing. And you are not alone!
