Want to learn how to strengthen your mental health and happiness in the thick of hormonal shifts?

How to tell if it’s perimenopause/menopause vs depression, anxiety, even ADHD
The difference between emotional health and mental health
How these are fluctuations and not a sign of decline
How to prepare for menopause like you prepare for your future
