I went looking for the woman I used to be. I found someone better.

For a long time I did what a lot of us do. I put myself last, kept everyone else fed and functioning, and told myself the tired, the foggy, the quiet in my own body was just what midlife felt like now.

It was not. It was a signal.

When I finally started paying attention, to my hormones, my strength, how I was fueling myself, my desire, I did not get my old self back. I got someone I actually like more. Someone who knows what she wants and is not sorry about it.

MINE is what I wish someone had handed me at the start. Four pillars, Menopause, Intimacy, Nutrition, and Exercise, and the honest conversations no one else will have with you. About HRT and testosterone. About the body that changed. About wanting to feel like yourself, and yes, wanting to feel sexy, again.

I am not here to sell you the fear that you are running out of time. I am here to tell you the opposite. This is the chapter where you take yourself back.

You are not becoming less. You are becoming more. 💖
