Hi I'm Michelle Kapler and I deeply f*cking care about spreading the word that the definition of "healthy" is relative. What health means for you might look completely different than someone else. It depends on so many things (including what your baseline starting point it and what is accessible and doable for you as an individual)

My message here... don't compare yourself to others.
It almost never ends with feeling empowered or hopeful.
It usually just leads us to feel like we are inadequate..
or incapable
or unable to "figure it out"

The only person you should compare yourself to is yourself. And even that isn't always the best use of space in your brain.

But here is the good news. You get to decide what YOUR version of health is.
(and ps - it can change from day to day)
Be gentle with yourself, my friend

Have you listened to this Perimenopology episode yet?

I'm talking all about why perimenopause can be such an emotionally tumultuous time for a lot of folks.

There are 4 main contributors that I am going to talk about in this episode.
This list is not exhaustive. We need to remember that perimenopause is a highly individual experience. Although these themes are nearly universal in western culture, there will be individual nuances that will affect the way people experience them.

Is this thing ACTUALLY a problem or am
I just being "hormonal"?

If you have ever asked yourself this question, this class
is for you.

We know about this thing called gaslighting.

As people socialized as women, we often experience it
on a daily basis from others (our partners, our
colleagues, even our doctors).

And sometimes we actually do it to ourselves.

But what if it actually IS just our hormones?

How do we know?

I answer all of these questions in my online class
called The (Peri)Menopause Mood Swing Solution.

So if you're in perimenopause or menopause...

If you menstruate and experience mood changes
throughout your cycles...

Or if you just want to know more about managing your
mind around mood swings...
you need this class!

By the end of the class you will learn:

-The 4 (nearly) universal reasons why this transition
can be such an emotional rollercoaster

-How to tell if what you're upset about is really a
problem or if it is just hormones

-How our socialization and conditioning impact how
we experience mood changes caused by hormonal
shifts

-My secret to creating noticeable relief from hormonal
mood swings.

You can access the class RIGHT NOW for FREE!

Your. Intense. Feelings. Are. Real. And. Valid.

If we have an emotionally intense reaction to something (AND we are experiencing hormonal fluctuations like PMS or perimenopause) it doesn't mean that our feelings are invalid.

We can acknowledge that our emotional experience is influenced by our hormones AND ALSO know that our thoughts/feelings/concerns/irritation/outrage are VALID.

It doesn't have to be one or the other.

This is black and white thinking.

And with hormones and feelings... it almost ALWAYS lands somewhere in a grey area.

What would your perimenopausal emotional experience be like if you could hold space for your hormonally heightened feelings AND ALSO know that your concern/irritation/outrage/grief/anger/sadness is valid?

To learn more about what this might look like, check out The (Peri)Menopause Mood Swing Solution.

Hi I'm Michelle Kapler and I deeply f*cking believe that you deserve to feel at home in your body. And this doesn't mean that you feel good or happy or peaceful or comfortable all the time. But it still feels like home.

And this can mean a lot of different things to different people.

It might mean that we work together to navigate perimenopausal symptoms that are getting in the way of you fully enjoying your life and putting together a plan to address those symptoms in a way you feel good about.

It might mean digging into body image stuff that tends to come up for many folks socialized as women as we move through this transition.

It might mean having a conversation about how to get the most out of your s*x life.

Or maybe you know that you want to take this transition as an opportunity to create whatever the f**k you want in your life…
And I’m here to help you with all of it.

Let's work together:

09/22/2023

The nearly universal experience of living in a human body is that at some point, its going to do something that we don't like/is highly inconvenient or downright gross or painful.

It often doesn't look the way we would like.

It often has terrible timing.

This is inherent in the experience of being human.

And (peri)menopause is a time when this happens often and at a seemingly increased intensity!

In this week's episode, I'm talking about what to do and what not to do when your body doesn't cooperate with the treatment strategies you are trying, to address your menopause symptoms.
