🌟 Embrace Others 🌟

It’s easy to embrace people when they’re kind, thoughtful, and uplifting. But what about the ones who challenge us—the ones who frustrate us, misunderstand us, or even act unkindly?

Embracing others doesn’t mean you have to agree with them or excuse their behavior. It’s about choosing how you show up. 💡

Here are a few gentle reminders:

🌿 Pause before reacting. Sometimes a breath makes all the difference.

🌿 Practice empathy. We rarely know the full story of what someone else is carrying.

🌿 Set healthy boundaries. You can embrace others without sacrificing your peace.

🌿 Offer small kindnesses to strangers. A smile or a patient word can ripple farther than you imagine.

When we embrace others—even imperfectly—we create more space for connection, understanding, and compassion. 💕

✨ Remember: The way you embrace others is a reflection of your strength, not theirs.

👉 How do you embrace others when it feels difficult? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

🌪️ The Empath's Journey Through the Storm 🌪️

If you've felt a heaviness the last couple of weeks due to the aftermath from both Hurricanes, Helene and Milton, then this post is for you.

As an empath, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when a natural disaster strikes, like Hurricane Helene or Milton.

The devastation, the loss—it hits us on a deep level. We sense the fear, grief, and uncertainty of those affected, even from miles away.

But amid the chaos, I was reminded today, that there’s also an opportunity for light.

Symptom can be defined as:

1. any phenomenon or circumstance accompanying something and serving as evidence of it.

2. a sign or indication of something

If you are in any stage of peri/menopause, then you are most likely all too familiar with the variety of symptoms.

Today, my symptom of the hour is dizziness.

As someone who is in tune with any physical changes, it's quite noticeable for me when such changes occur.

Over the course of my peri-journey, I've learned that not everyone shares the symptoms and the pattern of when they typically occur can be very erratic, some occasionally to once and never again.

I've also had certain symptoms interfere with my daily routine and as a result, I've learned to treat the symptom the best way I know how.

So, for example, when I first started having the dizziness, I paid attention to any other symptoms and/or feelings I was experiencing.

In most cases, there were no new additional symptoms noticeable.

I also made note of when the symptom occurred - time of day vs time of month.

Additionally, I made note if it was around a mealtime, and if I hadn't eaten enough protein (this in itself has been a GAME CHANGER for me!)

It took me a while to make these connections, but the more I've tracked these occurrences, the more prepared I was to deal with and/or treat the symptom.

For dizziness, I usually take a Dramamine (which I keep for motion sickness).

Sometimes I'll eat a peppermint or even smell peppermint essential oils, both of which work!

If you've been following my account for a while now, you've probably noticed my "check-in" posts.

THIS is the reason why I started sharing these posts to hopefully help others bring awareness to not only how they're feeling emotionally, but also physically.

Tracking such information is also helpful over a period of time so that if/when you need a doctor's visit, you have documentation to share.

My Daily Check-in FREEBIE is still available - link in IG bio. This is especially helpful if you have ongoing, DAILY symptoms that you're navigating.

The good news, it does get better and more manageable over time.

What Does Midlife Really Feel Like?

Midlife is a mix of contradictions, a season where clarity meets confusion.

It's feeling wise yet still discovering new things about yourself.

It's the recognition that time is both fleeting and expansive, filled with the weight of responsibility and the freedom of finally saying, "This is who I am."

For some, midlife feels like a second chance at dreams.

For others, it’s the bittersweet reflection on roads not taken.

But most of all, midlife feels like a powerful reclaiming—a shift from people-pleasing to personal truth.

✨ It's more than just growing older—it's growing bolder.

It’s facing changes, embracing your natural self, and knowing you’re capable of more than you’ve ever imagined.

How does midlife feel for you? Let’s talk about it.

I came across a post mentioning negative effects of peri/menopause.

The same post also mentioned there being positives/benefits to peri/menopause, but others wondering what the positives were.

Unfortunately, there were so few responses.

I wanted to address this and change the narrative and challenge others to look for the positives during this time in our lives.

Like anything new and unexpected, it can be extremely difficult to see the positive in situations that feel like there is nothing but negative situations arising.

For me, over time I have learned to focus on the positive.

While it's not always easy, it's is doable but takes a strong mindset.

Due to these ongoing challenges, this is yet another reason for creating Modern Midlife Moxie.

If you're having difficulty with a positive perspective about peri/menopause, check out these 10 benefits.

This perspective focuses on the opportunities for growth and empowerment during peri-menopause, aligning with the values of Modern Midlife Moxie.

I challenge you to add to the list!

🌸 Navigating Perimenopause: Embrace the Change! 🌸

Perimenopause is a natural transition in every woman's life, marking the beginning of the end of her reproductive years. It's a time of physical, emotional, and hormonal shifts that can feel overwhelming, but it's also an opportunity to reconnect with your body and mind.

During this phase, you may experience symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, irregular periods, and sleep disturbances. While it can be challenging, remember that you're not alone! Many women go through this, and with the right knowledge and support, you can manage it with grace and confidence.

✨ Tips for Thriving During Perimenopause:

Prioritize Self-Care: Listen to your body and give it what it needs—rest, nutrition, and gentle movement.

Stay Informed: Understanding what's happening in your body can reduce anxiety and empower you to make informed choices.

Seek Support: Connect with other women going through similar experiences. Share, learn, and grow together.

Embrace Change: This is a time of transformation. Let go of old patterns that no longer serve you and welcome the new with open arms.

🌟 Remember, perimenopause is not the end—it's a new beginning! Let's support each other through this journey with love, empathy, and understanding. 🌟
