In the past year, I have walked through fire—navigating the depths of perimenopause while also unraveling the spiritual and physical layers of Hashimoto’s.
Both of these experiences have been initiations, demanding that I face what has been unseen, unspoken, and unresolved.
And through it all, I am becoming an even more powerful healer and leader.
The Spiritual Meaning of Hashimoto’s
Hashimoto’s, at its core, is the body attacking itself—an autoimmune condition that reflects deep-seated self-betrayal, exhaustion from overgiving, and a history of suppressing one’s truth.
Many who experience Hashimoto’s have spent years taking care of others, holding themselves to impossible standards, and carrying unspoken burdens. It is the body’s way of saying:
“Enough. You must turn inward now.”
It is a spiritual reckoning—a forced recalibration of the nervous system and a call to reclaim personal power.
The thyroid, which governs our voice and self-expression, holds the stories we haven’t told and the words we have swallowed.
Healing Hashimoto’s requires a radical shift in how we nourish ourselves—not just with food, but with rest, boundaries, and self-honoring choices.
The Spiritual Meaning of Perimenopause
Perimenopause is another sacred initiation, a transition from one state of being to another.
It is the death of who we once were and the birth of something entirely new. The body forces us to slow down, to listen, and to let go of old ways of operating that are no longer sustainable.
This process brings emotional intensity—grief, rage, exhaustion, and even an existential reckoning. It is a purification, stripping away illusions, unresolved trauma, and any part of ourselves still seeking external validation. The body becomes more sensitive, more intuitive, more attuned to the truth. It no longer tolerates what is out of alignment.
Perimenopause is a spiritual initiation into deeper wisdom, but only if we surrender to its lessons rather than resist them.
The Connection Between Hashimoto’s & Perimenopause
These two initiations—Hashimoto’s and perimenopause—are intimately connected. Both are a call to radical self-reclamation. Both demand that we stop overgiving, stop betraying ourselves, and stop shrinking our voice to make others comfortable.
Perimenopause forces us to face all the ways we have ignored our own needs. Hashimoto’s forces us to repair the relationship with ourselves at a cellular level. Together, they push us into deeper embodiment, stronger boundaries, and unshakable self-trust.
Why This Is Making Me a Better Healer & Leader
I am not the same person I was before walking through this fire. I have had to sit with my own wounds, my own shadows, my own deeply ingrained patterns of overgiving and self-sacrifice.
But through this, I have become stronger, clearer, and more deeply connected to my power.
I no longer lead from a place of depletion—I lead from sovereignty. I no longer hold space from obligation—I hold it from overflow. I have faced the void, the uncertainty, the discomfort, and I have emerged with a deeper knowing—not just in theory, but in lived experience.
This journey has reinforced what I teach: that healing is not about fixing ourselves—it is about coming home to ourselves.
And so I walk forward, not as someone merely guiding others through transformation, but as someone who has walked through the fire herself—and emerged radiant.
For those navigating their own initiations, whether through health crises, life transitions, or spiritual awakenings, I see you. This is not your breaking. This is your becoming.
You are not losing yourself. You are returning to yourself.
