When I was thirteen, all my friends used Secret deodorant. I chose a crystal one. I couldn't have told you why. It just felt right.
Those kinds of choices stayed with me. Not obsessively. Just consistently. In my thirties it got more intentional: yoga teacher training, two weeklong silent meditation retreats, and a lot of learning about how we live, not just what we eat.
By 40, a lot of people thought it was too late for me to have kids. I had my first at 41, my second at 43, and my third at 48. Naturally.
The question I get more than any other is some version of: how? I don't have a clean answer. What I do know is that by the time anyone could see it, so much of the work had already been done.
When perimenopause started showing up, I went looking for a clear, honest guide and couldn't find one. So I started building it.
