When my boys laugh, it’s music to my ears. No matter what’s going on, it always puts me in the best mood.

I know MLMs aren’t everyone’s thing.

And honestly? I don’t have to agree with every single thing a company does to like the products they make.

I use products because they work for me. I believe in them because I’ve seen the difference in my own life. If something helps me feel better, have more energy, or supports my health, I’m going to share it.

Yes, I make a little money when someone decides to purchase through me. But here’s what I don’t understand…

How is that different from influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers getting paid to promote protein powders, skincare, supplements, or workout clothes?

One is called “influencer marketing.”
The other gets labeled an MLM.

At the end of the day, they’re both recommending products they use and earning a commission.

You don’t have to buy from me. You don’t even have to agree with me. But I’m never going to apologize for sharing products that have genuinely helped me.

I’m just a 40-year-old wife, mom, and full-time working woman sharing what’s worked on my health journey. If it helps someone else feel better too, that’s a win in my book.

Why is everyone putting everything on my kitchen counter? I fully understand that it’s the first place we mostly stop when we enter our home.

BUT STOP PUTTING THINGS ON MOMMAS KITCHEN COUNTER 😂😂😂

If I was just starting my perimenopause journey, these are the 3 things I would do first:

✨ 1. Stop assuming feeling miserable is “just part of getting older.”
Constant fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, poor sleep, stubborn weight gain, and feeling like you’re not yourself aren’t things you have to just accept.

🥩 2. Prioritize protein and strength training.
Building muscle has been one of the best things I’ve done for my body. I focus on eating enough protein, lifting weights consistently, and moving my body—even when motivation is low.

🌿 3. Start supporting my body instead of fighting it.
For years I thought I just needed to work harder. Now I know that sleep, stress, gut health, hydration, and the right supplements can make a huge difference in how you feel.

Perimenopause can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to change everything overnight. Small, consistent changes add up.

I’m still learning, but I finally feel like I’m working with my body instead of against it.

💬 If you’re in perimenopause, what’s been your biggest struggle? Brain fog? Weight gain? Hot flashes? Anxiety? Tell me in the comments. Let’s help each other.

I always make a plate for Austin. He doesn’t always eat it. And that’s ok. I want him to feel included. There was a time not that long ago where his food was limited. Slowly but surely, with exposure, he’s increased his food palate.

Trust me, there is still a LONG list of foods he doesn’t eat.

A couple of years ago, a two day trip to the water park wasn’t going to be possible for me. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I didn’t have the energy. I would have been sitting on the sidelines watching my husband have fun with my boys.

Then I started focusing on me. I started pouring back into my cup. And that made all the difference.

Now I’m front and center in vacation. I’m keeping up with my boys. I’m in the core memories.

That was a non-negotiable for me and I did what I had to do to make it happen.

I’m happy with myself in both of these pictures. Let’s get that straight right now. But in the one of the left, was 2020. I had just had my second kid and the world shut down. I gained 50 pounds.

I lost who I was. I was sleeping horrible. I was snapping at people. I had no energy. I wasn’t me.

I started focusing on me a few years ago. And then 40 and perimenopause hit. It was like I was starting over again.

Focusing on me has been the biggest difference. Now I have energy to be in my kids core memories.

I didn’t close all my rings today on my Apple Watch. I didn’t workout today. I didn’t hit all my steps. And that’s ok.

I deep cleaned my house. I spent time with my boys. My husband and I went for a walk on the pier tonight.

I worked out Sunday through Friday. Missing one day isn’t going to hurt me.

I was like you…irritated at everything and everyone. Just my husband breathing made me want to punch him in the throat. I would get mad at my boys for things that they couldn’t control. I woke up tired no matter how many hours I slept. I slept horrible. The hot flashes made me want to keep my head in the freezer. I had this belly fat that sprung up overnight and never left. I felt trapped in my body.

I went to my doctor who referred me to specialists. The specialists didn’t listen. I’m only 41, so my symptoms weren’t taken seriously.

So I took matters into my own hands. I focused on my gut health.

Now I sleep like a husband. I’m not wanting to punch my husband in the throat. What used to irritate me no longer does. My hot flashes are rare. And my belly fat is disappearing.

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Comment CORTISOL to find out how to be you again ♥️

I don’t take it lightly knowing that I’m raising someone’s future husband.

I know that I live in a frat house that I created. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m the CEO of this frat house.

Do we all have the same 24 hours in a day? Nope. My day doesn’t look like yours, and yours doesn’t look like mine.

But I’ve got goals. I’m breaking cycles. I don’t have the best family health history. I’ve got a child with developmental disabilities that will always live with me. I’m making sure that I can get off the toilet at 80 and still wipe my own butt.

I’m not going to make the staff at the retirement home jobs easy.
