1: Awake at 3am and Losing Myself: My Menopause Sleep Story

from The Menopause Sleep Coach · host Costantina Bardis

What happens when you no longer recognise the woman you once were?  In this first episode, I share my personal menopause sleep story. The exhaustion, anxiety, and night-time awakenings that left me feeling lost and overwhelmed. From the outside, my life looked full and successful, but inside I was struggling to cope, waking at night with racing thoughts, low energy, and growing self-doubt.  I talk openly about the moment I realised I couldn’t carry on like this, the courage it took to step away from my career, and the journey that led me to support, understanding, and a renewed sense of self.  This episode is about being seen, heard, and understood, and why no woman should feel alone during menopause.  ______________________________________________________________________________ Get your free menopause & sleep tracker here:  https://subscribepage.io/X9hxGn  Download your free 7-day evening prompt & ritual journal here:  https://subscribepage.io/PIkVHS  Book a free 121 coaching 30-minute intro call:   https://cal.com/cbcoachingltd/30min?overlayCalendar=true  Contact me:  Email - [email protected]  Website - https://www.cbcoachingltd.co.uk/  Linktree - https://linktr.ee/cbcoachingltd
