Publisher's Synopsis
The Perimenopause Journal is created for the bold, curious women who are interested in personal growth and who want to understand and care for themselves while they go through the process of perimenopause. They go to yoga, but might cringe at the chanting. They get the giggles in a gong bath and close out their mindfulness class with a glass of prosecco. They are sharp, they've busted glass ceilings, they've burned out and (hopefully) recovered and are now longing to learn how to live their lives sustainably and stylishly. They don't want to be patronised, they need a reassuring guide to understanding themselves, managing their symptoms and allowing them to blossom into a creative life postmenopause. They bought period pants and moon cups are now entering perimenopause and finding that there is no one there who speaks their language or gets their situation. The perimenopause journal is for those women.This undated journal can be started at any point in the year, and guides readers through the phases of perimenopause, allowing them space and time to really engage with their symptoms, and how their changing lives can be a source of excitement and joy. Written by artist and facilitator Kate Codrington, The Perimenopause Journal is a year-long experience of this unique time of a woman's life that helps to chart the course to a smooth and fulfilling "second spring". Based around the seasons and the lunar year, the journal shows readers how to recognise and track their symptoms of perimenopause, and how to care for themselves, and embrace their energy over 52 weeks.Also included are four seasonal Yoga Nidra meditations, with an accompanying audio guide shared via QR code to give readers a chance to slow down for 20 minutes and truly feel where they are at that moment. The easy-to-use journal pages make keeping track of symptoms a natural process, and Kate's kind and encouraging voice is there on the page to make the reader feel supported as she explores this new way of being in the world.
