When perimenopause hit, I felt like my brain had turned into a junk drawer.
Appointments, meal ideas, symptom notes, work deadlines-everything was floating around in my head, and I was dropping balls left and right. My clients often say the same:”I feel like I’m managing everyone else’s lives and forgetting my own.”
That’s when I created a few simple planners to bring order to the chaos. Not perfect balance-just enough structure to feel sane again.
