Movement was always the solution.But then perimenopause hit — seemingly out of nowhere — and for the first time, I couldn’t outwork my body. The harder I pushed, the more it pushed back. Suddenly, my old strategies weren’t working, and I was faced with a reality that shocked me: to feel better, I needed to lean into the opposite of what I’d always done — more rest, more sleep, more recovery, and tools for relaxation.In this episode, I share: 💡 My raw experience with the sudden shift of perimenopause 🏃‍♀️ How running went from my outlet to my wake-up call 🛑 Why you can’t simply “out-train” hormonal changes 🌱 What new strategies I’ve discovered to support performance, health, and sanity in this new seasonIf you’ve ever felt blindsided by perimenopause or frustrated that your go-to solutions suddenly stopped working, you’re not alone.
