Lady G ... when i started and went through menopause is when I became out of control depressed and overly anxious. It came on so gradually that I didn't notice how bad it was until I wanted to die by burning down the house WITH my family in it as it would solve everyone's problems.

I'm all for medication as needed! On it and better [much] for it.

BUT! If I had mentioned some of the more subtle signs in the beginning, maybe I too could have been 'spared'.

Thank you for sharing so that more people/women can speak up and hopefully find relief.! Huzzah!

The sound is GREAT!! I’m actually out and about and using my fancy noise cancelling headphones and it’s like you’re in my ears! Like one ear each! It’s really clear and crisp so a good investment for sure! Also I think everyone should put googly eyes on those fuzzy mic heads.

Also your dog stole the show this week! So cute.

And finally, eff ya to taming the mones!! I absolutely needed that nudge to get in and do the same!

Have an amazing weekend everyone!

Hi you two! I had the most remarkable experience with your sound, as I was listening through earbuds...Lady G on my right, was coming through the left earbud and Lord G on my left, was coming through the right earbud. I kept wanting to adjust where I was sitting.🤦🏻‍♀️😂 Thanks as always for the bits of light! 😘 Sarah, I thought to add that when I started perimenopause, I kept asking my various practitioners for help with what was a rollercoaster of wacky symptoms. Science hasn't actually caught up with the shifts a woman's body goes through during this window, because women mostly suffered in silence....my mother included, so she was no help. I didn't know what the fuck was up with me, until I actually did the legwork and researched independently. I actually discovered bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, which was a game changer, period! I couldn't have made it through the last couple of years without it, as I was struggling with mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats something fierce, and unwelcome weight thickening my usually fit body. Sometimes, we have to go the extra mile when practitioners are no help and we won't take no help as an answer. Ladies, there is hope, you just may have to fight for it. 💗

Oh, one more thing I wanted to share... I made a promise when I got pregnant that I would be a conscious parent; that I wouldn't repeat the cycles in my family that were hurtful and destructive. One of my inspirations was Brene Brown and her Wholehearted Parenting manifesto, which we follow in my house; we keep a copy on the fridge as a regular reminder...you can download a copy here: https://brenebrown.com/art/the-wholehearted-parenting-manifesto/. I think the greatest gift we can give our children in a challenging world is emotional intelligence and a mind to think critically for oneself. 💗

I LOVE Mexican chocolate anything. I can't wait to try this cake! I love that spicy bite to it.

I am so glad you are reading What the Wind Knows. It's such an amazing story and I learned so much history in it too!
