The Menopause Map
March Gathering: Progesterone & the Anxious, Wired Woman
You're not losing your mind. You're losing progesterone.
Do you find yourself lying awake at 3 a.m., heart pounding, while your partner sleeps soundly beside you?
Does the smallest inconvenience send a surge of rage through your chest?
Do you long for the feeling of being able to truly relax again—but your nervous system feels stuck in the "on" position?
You are not broken. You are not alone. And this is not just "stress."
In perimenopause, progesterone—our body's primary calming hormone—is often the first to decline. When it drops, anxiety, insomnia, and irritability can skyrocket. To make matters worse, everyday stress triggers cortisol, which further depletes the little progesterone we have left. It's a hormonal theft happening inside your own body.
This month, we're getting to the root of the wired, anxious feeling and mapping out a path back to calm.
What to Expect:
You are invited to pull up a chair (or a yoga mat, or a cozy blanket) and join us for an honest, judgment-free conversation about the anxious, wired side of perimenopause.
This is not a lecture. It's a gathering of women who are tired of being told "just relax" and are ready for real answers and real support. Together, we'll unpack the "hormone chatter" you hear online, translate the science into plain English, and leave you with one gentle, doable practice to soothe your nervous system.
Come as you are—tired, frustrated, hopeful, or all of the above.
What to Bring:
Your curiosity: Bring your questions about progesterone, anxiety, and what's happening in your body.
A journal and pen: We'll have moments for reflection and note-taking.
Something cozy: A favorite mug for tea or cacao, a soft blanket, or comfy socks. We're creating a space where you can physically feel safe and at ease.
An open heart: This is a space free of judgment. Your story is welcome here.
