#159 - Story Session: Perimenopause, Boundaries, & the Power of Self-Care Rituals in Midlife with April MacKinnon

In this story session, April MacKinnon, founder of Anointment Natural Skin Care, opens up about nearly a decade of navigating perimenopause. From the early waves of anxiety and disrupted sleep to the surprising strength she found through resistance training, she shares her very relatable experience. We explore how resistance training helped April through anxiety when running no longer worked, how skincare evolved from function to connection, and why saying “no, thank you” with no explanation might be one of the best midlife skills of all.This honest conversation is a reminder that growing into ourselves doesn’t always mean doing more. It often means redefining what matters most.Connect with April🏷 Save 20% on Anointment products with the code FEAST20 The Website: anointment.caMagnesium Products:  nourishedmagnesium.comInstagram: @anointmentLike what you learned?
