Hormones, Healing & Thriving Womanhood

If you’re on HRT and still not feeling like “yourself,” you’re not alone. It’s not because your body is broken... it’s because hormones can’t do their job when the foundations underneath them are struggling. Your liver, your cortisol, your gut, your muscle, your nutrients, your lifestyle… they all matter more than we realise. This blog will help you understand why HRT sometimes doesn’t work the way it should, and what your body actually needs to feel balanced, supported, and like you again.

We’ve had it backwards all along. It’s not do more → have more → be happy. It’s Be → Do → Have. Because when you start being — calm, aligned, and connected — everything you do flows naturally, and everything you have begins to reflect peace and balance.

I had the most interesting conversation with a friend over lunch, and like most women at this age, we ended up talking about hormones and perimenopause (because how can we not?). What started as a story about a friend’s “rage phase” turned into something deeper: a reflection on self-agency, awareness, and the power of not losing ourselves in the chaos. Hormones might influence our moods, but they don’t get to write our story, we do.

Part 3 of the series: "The Mind of Perimenopause". I used to think my emotions were a sign of weakness... the rage, the sadness, the flat days where nothing felt worth it. But I’ve learned they’re signals. Your body isn’t broken, it’s communicating. When you start responding with nourishment, rest, and compassion instead of shame, everything begins to shift.

Part 2 of the series: "The Mind of Perimenopause". Understand your mood swings by learning to track your “inner climate change”. Awareness is your power.

Part 1 of the series: "The Mind of Perimenopause". In perimenopause, estrogen doesn’t fall in a neat, gentle line, it behaves more like the stock market: predictably unpredictable. One moment you feel calm and focused, the next you’re overwhelmed or weepy for no clear reason.
