In this episode, I share an honest and raw conversation about the hormonal rollercoaster, mood swings, irritability, and all the midlife changes that came crashing in.

In today’s episode — we’re leaning into our wellness. Because yes, we’re educating little humans, managing homes, and keeping everything afloat... but we’re also women, with needs that change through seasons, cycles, and years.

So today we’re chatting about women’s health, the menopause journey, and how a little thing — like a cup of tea — can become a powerful part of our daily rhythm.

This one’s for you. 💛

To anyone home educating through menopause: you are doing something incredibly brave and beautiful. But please don’t forget—your wellbeing is just as important as your children.

Give yourself grace. Build in rest. Laugh when you forget what day it is. And remember, this is a season—and it will pass.
