Have you recently not been feeling quite like yourself?
Perhaps you’re sleeping worse. Perhaps sudden mood swings or fatigue catch you off guard, with no relief even after rest. Maybe you feel your concentration, energy, or mental resilience fluctuating. Maybe your cycle is beginning to change. Or perhaps you quietly sense that something in your body is shifting.
For many women, this is how perimenopause begins.
Perimenopause and menopause are still often described mainly as hormonal changes associated with the end of reproduction. In reality, however, this phase significantly affects the brain, neural system, and a woman’s overall psychological functioning. That is why it can be surprisingly challenging even for highly capable, high-performing, and otherwise emotionally stable women.
For a long time, this stage of life was discussed very little or only superficially. That is gradually changing. More and more women are allowing themselves to speak openly about what they are truly experiencing — and that in itself brings enormous relief.
Still, we often hear one understandable concern:
“I’m not sure if I want to share such intimate feelings with other women who I don’t know.”
This hesitation is completely natural. Most of us were not encouraged to have open conversations about menopause, emotions, or what is happening inside our bodies and minds.
Yet in my own practice, I repeatedly witness a very different experience. Whenever I open this topic in a small group of women — whether at a professional meeting, in a café, or in an informal setting — the response is strikingly similar. Women immediately become attentive, start asking questions, sharing their experiences, and gradually join the conversation. The sense of relief is almost tangible. Often someone says, “We should be talking about this more often!”
A conversation that many initially fear naturally transforms into something deeply human, relieving, and empowering.
And that is exactly how our group programs unfold.
It is important to remember one essential truth: every woman experiences this transitional period differently.
Your experience is unique. Comparing yourself to others often leads to uncertainty rather than understanding. What truly helps is a safe environment where you can understand the connections, make sense of what is happening in your body and mind, and be in contact with women who are in a similar phase of life.
When women meet and speak openly, taboo and shame quickly lose their power. A topic that was unnecessarily hidden for so long becomes a natural part of life. The atmosphere becomes relaxed; relief comes, sometimes even lightness and humor. Very quickly, we discover how much we share.
If you feel it is time to stop going through this alone, we warmly invite you to join our group program for women in this life transition.
It is a space for sharing, understanding, and mutual support. Because this stage of life does not need to remain unspoken. On the contrary — when women talk about it together, relief, understanding, and new inner strength emerge.
