🔥 Menopause Support

Empowered Transitions—Relief, Resilience, and Ritual

✍️ My Story: Menopause Wasn’t What I Expected

Whether it’s sudden (like mine, after a hysterectomy) or slowly creeping in over years, menopause has a way of showing you exactly who’s in charge: your hormones.

I used to think menopause was mostly about hot flashes and calling people by the wrong name at parties. But when it actually hit—my body, my mind, my soul—it was so much more.

The physical symptoms came first: night sweats that soaked the sheets, joint pain that made me feel decades older, sleep that wouldn’t come, and fatigue that never left. Then came the emotional symptoms: mood swings, anxiety, feeling like I was unraveling... or disappearing.

And no one really talks about that part—the identity shift. The grief. The way your body starts whispering (or screaming) for more attention, more softness, more truth.

After my hysterectomy, I didn’t just lose estrogen—I lost serotonin. My ability to handle stress plummeted, and I could feel the ripple effect throughout my whole system. I reached for support wherever I could find it, but most of what I found felt dismissive or outdated.

That’s when I started rebuilding.

I formulated a hormone support oil called Balancing Act, and applying it became a ritual—both physical and emotional. It helped ease my hormonal swings and gave me a sense of grounding during a time when nothing felt steady. When the emotional weight settled in, I leaned into Finding Joy, a blend crafted to gently support serotonin and remind my brain (and heart) how to find the light again.

But the real game-changer was understanding my stress response. My adrenals were tanked, my energy erratic. I created Not Today Satan to help regulate cortisol and bring my nervous system back to center—especially on days where I felt like I might snap or sink. This wasn’t about chasing youth; it was about rebuilding my rhythm.

I stopped trying to “bounce back” and started listening. I supported my thyroid, nurtured my nervous system, and let go of the shame around rest.

Because menopause is not a breakdown. It’s a breakthrough.

It’s a rite of passage—one we don’t talk about enough, but that connects us as women in the deepest way. And no, you’re not crazy. You’re becoming.
