Up to 40% of women experience depression or other mood changes in perimenopause (sermin, 2010).

We now know that It’s the transition from low to high hormones (or vice versa) during the different phases of our cycle that causes the mood changes – ie ovulation, mid-luteal or pms time 1-3 days prior to flow or even postpartum that there is a shift in hormones which causes our mood to be affected.

And because our hormones are shifting so much- it’s our brains response to these shifts day to day pending on where we are at in our cycle that affect our mood.

Save this post and like it- I have a whole series about why our mood shifts in perimenopause coming out!

Perimenopause depression

As a female entrepreneur, you need to be at the top of your game.

Clear thinking. Steady energy. Restful sleep.

But lately…
• sleep feels off
• PMS feels unfamiliar
• your cycle seems to be calling the shots

This isn’t a personal failure - and it isn’t just stress.

It may be perimenopause.

Symptoms can be subtle and slow to reveal themselves.

It took me six months to recognize it in my own body — and this is my field. 🤦‍♀️

If you’re ready for a thoughtful, personalized game plan,
I’m a trusted health practitioner who understands this transition - clinically and personally.

Ever wonder why decisions feel harder lately? Many female entrepreneurs are quietly navigating perimenopause.

Mood shifts can show up as anxiety, irritability, or feeling emotionally drained - not because you’re failing, but because hormones are changing during peak leadership years.

When you’re running a business, this can mean:

😢 overwhelm in decisions
😶‍🌫️ exhaustion during negotiations or team conflict
😬 fear of being seen as “too emotional”

This isn’t a mindset or leadership issue.

It’s a physiological shift.

With the right support, emotional resilience and clarity return - without pushing harder.

Mood swings, sudden anxiety, and irritability are common during perimenopause - and they can feel especially disruptive when you’re running a business, leading teams, or navigating high-stakes decisions.

What I see most often:

• emotional exhaustion while working in your business
• stress feeling heavier than it used to
• fear of being perceived as “too emotional” in leadership spaces

This internal turbulence can quietly chip away at confidence.

✨ You are not broken.

This is a physiological shift, not a personal failure - and there are real solutions.

In my work, I support women by:
• balancing progesterone - our calming, grounding hormone
• building resilience with adaptogenic herbs, B-complex nutrients, and realistic lifestyle shifts
• supporting serotonin production through targeted supplementation and gut health (where most serotonin is made)

When the nervous system and hormones are supported, emotional steadiness returns - and leadership feels possible again.

Do you ever just want to escape to the beach… and disappear from your business?

You’re not lazy.
You’re not losing your edge.
And you don’t actually want to quit everything and move to the beach. 🌊

For many entrepreneurial women, perimenopause hits right at peak career momentum - when you’re scaling, leading, and carrying real responsibility.

But brain fog, fatigue, and emotional overwhelm can quietly chip away at:

• productivity
• confidence
• enjoyment of the work you once loved

Add in a lack of real support, fear of being vulnerable in leadership spaces, and zero recognition of how hormones impact performance… and suddenly “escaping” feels tempting.

This isn’t a mindset problem.
It’s a physiology + support gap.

With the right assessment and personalized support, you don’t need to burn it all down - you get to lead with clarity, energy, and calm again.

✨ You don’t need an exit plan.
✅ You need a hormone-informed one.

I would love to help!

When sleep starts to feel off, it’s often not “just stress” or bad habits.
 In your 40s, it’s usually a mix of hormones, nervous system load, and daily rhythms.

I focus on supporting sleep by working with:
 • Cortisol balance - so your body can fully wind down at night • Progesterone support - the calming hormone many women begin to lose • Nervous system regulation - helping you shift out of fight-or-flight and into res.

And we do this in very doable ways:
 ✨ Gentle lifestyle shifts ✨ Nourishing nutrition (what you eat during the day directly impacts sleep at night) ✨ Thoughtfully chosen nutrients and herbs when needed.

Because better sleep isn’t about forcing rest- it’s about helping your body feel calm enough to sleep again.

What ritual supports you right now? 🥰
One of my favorite conversations to have with women is about rituals- the small, meaningful moments in the day that help you feel grounded and cared for.

That might look like:

✅ journaling,
✅ reading,
✅ a walk outside,
✅ movement you enjoy,
✅ painting, or
✅ even a cozy nightly tea and skincare routine. ✨

Rituals don’t need to be complicated or time-consuming. They’re simply gentle ways to slow down, check in with yourself, and be present- especially after a full or stressful day at home or work.

Over time, these moments can help your nervous system feel more supported and bring a sense of calm back into your body.

We hear “self-care” everywhere, but at its heart, it isn’t about aesthetics or doing more - it’s about creating small habits that help you feel steadier, more nourished, and more like yourself.

If you’re reflecting on the year ahead and considering what you want to invite into your life, even one simple ritual can make a meaningful difference.

And if you’d love some support or accountability along the way, I’m always here for you. 🤍

🗨️ Share in the comments a ritual you’re hoping to begin or return to.

✨ Holiday Calm Starts at Home — for You and Your Kids ✨
I’m hosting a special Instagram Live with my dear friend Miss Michelle - a teacher who supports parents in coaching their kids to build resiliency, emotional regulation, and real confidence.

Why this matters so much to me right now ⬇️
During perimenopause, stress is not “just stress.”
It’s a foundational factor that can directly impact your hormones, sleep, mood, and energy.

And let’s be honest - the holidays can amplify everything.

That’s why I’m bringing Michelle into this conversation.
Because when our children are supported, our nervous systems soften too. WE feel better!

Michelle is currently guiding parents through a Christmas Challenge designed to support families before things spiral - and it’s such a beautiful alignment with the work I do with women.

✨ This Live is for you if:

• Your child gets dysregulated with holidays, excitement, or change
• Routines fall apart during winter break
• You dread sugar crashes, travel meltdowns, or sibling tension
• You want tools and support before you feel overwhelmed

We’ll talk about:

🌿 How to support kids through the holidays in a grounded, connected way

🌿 How co-regulation reduces stress for the entire family
🌿 Why calmer homes matter so much for women navigating perimenopause

This is about creating more ease, more regulation, and more presence - for your children and for you.

📅 Join us live- WED 10 am
💛 Come as you are
🎄 Let’s make this season feel more supported and less stressful

You don’t have to carry it all alone.
