🌿Perimenopause: A Test From the Universe

Not many people realize that perimenopause is more than meets the eye…

What if perimenopause isn’t just a hormonal imbalance, but a profound life transition designed to realign you with your true self?

What if this phase is not random, but a checkpoint — asking whether your life, your body, and your inner truth are still moving in the same direction?

When a woman lives out of alignment for too long — emotionally, energetically, or spiritually — the body eventually responds.

Perimenopause is often the moment when the body stops compensating and starts communicating.

Through hot flashes, anxiety, brain fog, weight gain, fatigue, and sleep disruption, the body sends a message:

Something deeper needs attention.

Why Perimenopause Symptoms Feel So Intense

If you’re struggling with perimenopause symptoms — night sweats, mood swings, digestive issues, joint pain, or stubborn belly weight — it can feel like your body is working against you.

But from a holistic perspective, the body isn’t malfunctioning.

It’s responding to prolonged misalignment.

Perimenopause often arrives after decades of:

  • Putting everyone else first

  • Suppressing emotions to stay “functional”

  • Living in constant stress or responsibility

  • Ignoring early body signals

  • Eventually, the nervous system, hormones, and metabolism can no longer carry that load.

The body doesn’t break.

It interrupts.

Perimenopause Weight Gain, Anxiety, and Fatigue Are Messages — Not Failures

You might be wondering:

  • Why am I gaining weight in perimenopause when I eat well?

  • Why does anxiety appear out of nowhere?

  • Why am I exhausted no matter what I do?

Because the body is asking for grounding, safety, and coherence, not more discipline.

  • Perimenopause weight gain often reflects a need for containment, warmth, and nourishment and self-love.

  • Anxiety and insomnia signal a nervous system stuck in survival

  • Brain fog points to cognitive overload and energetic depletion

  • Rage and mood swings reveal unexpressed truth and weakened boundaries

These are not flaws.

They are directional signals.

Why Every Woman’s Perimenopause Journey Is Different

No two women experience perimenopause the same way — because no two women live the same life.

  • Some experience insomnia and nervous tension.

  • Others digestive shutdown and bloating.

  • Some emotional volatility or sadness.

  • Others joint pain, inflammation, or loss of motivation.

  • Your body uses the symptoms that will get your attention.

Comparison only disconnects you further.

Your symptoms are personal, precise, and purposeful.

When Perimenopause Shows Up as Relationship Crisis, Not Physical Symptoms

You may not realize it, but the truth is not all perimenopause symptoms show up as physical symptoms.

Sometimes the imbalance appears in your relationships — with your partner, your children, or the people closest to you. You may notice increased conflict, emotional distance, resentment, or a sudden inability to tolerate dynamics you once managed quietly.

This, too, is part of perimenopause.

When inner alignment is lost, tension often surfaces in relationships before it manifests as physical discomfort. The soul uses whatever channel will be most effective. A relationship crisis can be just as much a signal as hot flashes or anxiety — a message from the universe asking you to realign with your truth.

  • You may be outgrowing old roles.

  • You may no longer be able to self-abandon to keep peace.

  • You may be called to redefine boundaries, needs, and emotional honesty.

These relational disruptions are not failures. They are initiations — invitations to live more authentically, communicate more truthfully, and return to alignment not only within yourself, but within the life you are living.

When the message is heard and integrated, both the relationships and the body often begin to soften.

When Manifestation Is Out of Alignment, the Body Pushes Back

There is another layer many women encounter during perimenopause — often without realizing it: trying to manifest a life that isn’t aligned with their soul’s plan for this lifetime.

You may be visualizing, affirming, striving — trying to create success, stability, or a certain version of life — yet feeling blocked, dissatisfied, or deeply confused.

This misalignment creates internal resistance.

You may notice:

  • Constant overthinking

  • A need to control outcomes

  • Emotional flatness despite “doing everything right”

  • A sense of being off-track without knowing why

  • Perimenopause amplifies this tension.

The body becomes less willing to sustain a life built on effort instead of truth.

What once felt tolerable now feels unbearable.

This is not failure.

It’s course correction.

Stop Fighting Perimenopause — Start Listening to the Body

The turning point comes when you stop asking:

“How do I get rid of this?”

And start asking:

“What is my body asking me to realign?”

  • Is exhaustion asking you to rest — and live more honestly?

  • Is weight gain asking for grounding rather than restriction?

  • Is anxiety asking for nervous system regulation and inner safety?

  • Is anger asking you to reclaim boundaries and voice?

When you listen, the body softens.

When alignment begins, symptoms lose their urgency.

How to Know If You’re on Your Aligned Path

Your intuition is always nudging you — through gut feelings, repeated patterns, quiet longings, or persistent discomfort. But in a noisy world filled with responsibility, fear, and conditioning, intuition alone can feel unclear.

This is where deeper insight becomes essential.

Inside my 1-1 PeriPowerful Coaching, one of the most powerful tools I use is a psycho-astrological chart reading.

This is not predictive or fatalistic.

It’s a map of your inner architecture.

It helps you understand:

  • Your in born energetic blueprint

  • Your soul’s main themes in this life such as wounds, talents, unresolved themes requiring attention

  • Where forcing creates resistance — and where flow is meant to exist

  • What are your likely lessons and the aligned path you should be taking

How your current perimenopause symptoms connect to deeper misalignment

When a woman sees her life reflected back with clarity, something settles.

  • Decisions become easier.

  • Self-doubt loosens.

  • The nervous system calms.

And often, the body responds with relief — because it no longer has to break down to be heard.

When your outer life aligns with your inner truth, manifestation stops feeling like effort — and starts feeling like movement with the current.

How to Support Hormone Balance Through Alignment, Not Force

Perimenopause does not respond well to force — but it responds powerfully to alignment.

Healing begins when you:

  • Choose gentle, nervous-system-friendly movement

  • Eat warm, grounding foods that support digestion and metabolism

  • Slow your rhythm to match your body’s changing energy

  • Practice emotional honesty instead of self-silencing

  • Reconnect with meaning, purpose, and inner truth

As inner peace grows, the body no longer needs to shout.

Perimenopause is an invitation to:

  • Stop living from obligation

  • Return to your natural rhythm

  • Realign your body, mind, and soul

  • Live in a way your nervous system can finally support

This phase feels intense not because something is wrong —

but because something wants to change.

When Inner Alignment Returns, the Body Follows

When a woman reconnects with herself — emotionally, energetically, and spiritually — the body responds.

  • Sleep improves.

  • Digestion settles.

  • Inflammation eases.

  • Hormones stabilize.

  • Weight begins to normalize.

Not because you forced the body —

but because you returned to alignment.
