I Love Being A Woman

Allow me to state, this is my personal journey.

I am not a medical doctor.

Everyone’s story and journey is different.

This is simply a record of my own.

I’ve been feeling dizzy, weak, and sometimes even blacking out, unable to stand for more than a few moments without feeling like I might collapse.

I think I have been hiding it pretty well, except to those that are really super close to me.

At first, I thought it was just stress or exhaustion from everything going on, but it’s become clear that something deeper is happening in my body.

Something biological.

Our biology is mysterious and spiritual in nature, and so this has been one of the greatest transformations of my life.

I know I’ve been living with Hashimoto’s for over a decade and I take medication for it, but with the perimenopause, and feeling like garbage all the time, I didn’t fully realize how much it had progressed.

That’s the thing about it—it moves so slowly that you don’t notice how bad you’re feeling until you hit a breaking point.

Looking back, I can see the signs have been there for a while: fatigue that won’t go away, brain fog, feeling like my body is heavy and sluggish, struggling to recover from the simplest things.

Now, perimenopause has added a whole new layer to it.

My hormones are shifting, and that has put even more strain on my thyroid.

Estrogen and progesterone affect how my thyroid functions, so as they fluctuate, my thyroid hormones are even more unstable.

Some days, I feel like I’m in an energy crash I can’t get out of, and my body is completely drained.

Then there’s testosterone—mine is low, and I can feel it. I never realized how much testosterone impacts blood circulation, muscle strength, and energy levels until now.

Without enough, my blood pressure is unstable, which explains the dizziness and why I feel like I’m about to black out when I stand up.

My muscles feel weak and shaky, and even holding myself up for too long feels exhausting.

I don’t last long standing up.

It can be frustrating because this isn’t just me being tired—it’s something deeper.

It’s my thyroid struggling, my hormones fluctuating, and my body not getting what it needs.

The worst part? It’s taken me so long to realize just how bad I’ve been feeling because it crept up on me slowly, piece by piece.

I know healing is a slow process, and it can take months—or longer—to feel fully like myself again.

But I also know that now that I see what’s happening, I can start making the shifts I need to truly support my body.

I’m seeing a holistic doctor who is super thorough. Most of what I’m going through can be controlled with diet.

And I can continue to see clients that resonate and understand where I am.

This isn’t just about pushing through; it’s about actually addressing the root of it all—my thyroid, my hormones, and my nervous system.

So grateful for all of my clients and those that come to see me regularly.

Thank you for supporting my business and family while I am simultaneously doing my own deep healing.
