Lulu’s Pause
Menopause, that dreaded word for every woman where everything goes flying everywhere. Where we lose control of our own bodies. When we tend to pause life itself to get by.
This is where I walk you through the journey of my big pause : Perimenopause through Menopause. The journey of a decade and some and still running!
Symptoms ranging from the common to the bizarre. A journey of change and transformation; some forced while some came with ease. Acceptance and surrender became the key words of a transitionary phase that has been confusing like hell but proved as enlightening as Nirvana. The journey of a lifetime, one symptom at a time. Be a part of the journey as I share what helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Be a part of a movement where we intentionally inspire women to put themselves first, now more than ever when our bodies deserve the attention and care it has always yearned for during this challenging journey of transitioning through menopause.
