The Roots

For the past eight years, I have been navigating my 40s while experiencing significant (sometimes paralyzing) perimenopausal symptoms while balancing being a wife, a mom, a leader, and a friend. I have found little acknowledgement of the potential impact perimenopause can have on a woman's quality of life in the healthcare world and few resources for those experiencing this tidal wave of emotions. In an effort to help those in this stage of life not feel so alone in their perceived craziness, I finally decided to start writing about my own experiences. I founded Hormones, Madness and Mayhem - One Woman's Journey Through Her 40s with a mission to connect with other women looking for validation during this tumultuous period of life.  I hope it resonates with some of you.
