Unraveling Together is a podcast for women who opt out of the narrative that our best years are behind us and that we are now relegated to the back burner of society. We know our best is before us. The Unraveling Together Podcast is where we are free to talk about the things "we just don't talk about". Sharing wisdom with those who come after us is a crucial aspect of our personal growth.

Episode 072: Awash In Stress, Wading In Past Trauma And Clinging To The Side Of The Hormone Pool
Monday, 16 January, 2023
During one of my spiritual pleadings early on in perimenopause, I vowed that I would not let another woman suffer through peri like I was, if I just made it through it! Ever pray to the porcelain gods? It was like that but the nauseating head-spinning feeling did not end in 24 hours or less... I was having a very difficult go at it and looking back, I'm not sure how I held on in the beginning. I'm still in the throes of peri, but I am no longer suffering, nor am I going it alone. And you don't have to either. I found that the source of my suffering was awash in stress, wading in past trauma, and clinging for dear life to the side of the hormone pool. Once I dialed in a workable approach to all three aspects at the core of my suffering, I began to heal, really heal. I've experienced, and continue to experience, the kind of healing I'd only flirted with before. I thought I was "doing the work" by attending seminar after seminar, reading book after book, and taking course after course. I was just rearranging the furniture in a hoarder's house. If I only knew then what I know now. Though Brené Brown says you cannot manage an unraveling in her seminal blog post, "The Midlife Unraveling", I believe you can minimize the fallout. In this episode I share how I put an end to my suffering by getting my head, my heart, and my body into congruence. As a result, the suffering stopped. And the clean up from the unforeseeable and unanticipated fallout continues.
