Changing Conditions, Changing Terms™
Individualized support for Black and Brown women navigating perimenopause and menopause as their lives, needs, and circumstances change.
Perimenopause and menopause happen in the middle of a life already being lived.
Your body is changing. At the same time, you are taking in new information, making choices about your body and care, responding to changing needs, reconsidering what works for you, questioning what you have learned, and determining what matters to you now.
All of this is happening within the rest of your life, your relationships, work or business, family, responsibilities, sexuality, finances, culture, community, healthcare, plans, and sense of yourself.
What worked before doesn't automatically work now. What you accepted before isn't necessarily what you accept now. What you need from yourself, other people, and the systems around you is changing too.
When you're left to bring it all together
Information, care, resources, and support are often fragmented across different people, places, and systems. There are also real gaps in what is known, available, accessible, and responsive to the experiences of Black and Brown women navigating perimenopause and menopause.
So much of the work of bringing it all together can fall back on you. Finding what you need. Figuring out what is relevant. Making choices. Coordinating people and resources. Following up. Making adjustments. And doing all of that while continuing to live the rest of your life.
That's executive overload.
Changing Conditions, Changing Terms™ is six weeks of individualized, one-to-one infrastructure support.
We begin with what is happening in your life and what is true for you. That includes what you know, what you're experiencing, what you're questioning and learning, what you have access to, what you need, and what is getting in the way.
Together, we work with the information, resources, relationships, choices, and systems surrounding what you're navigating.
That includes:
• Finding and evaluating information, resources, and support
• Strengthening support and identifying what is missing
• Preparing for conversations, appointments, choices, and changes
• Connecting parts of your experience that have been treated separately
• Bringing in specialized expertise when it is needed
• Putting practical support around the changes you decide to make
Understanding is part of this work too. There is room to question what you've learned, consider new information, make connections, and decide what something means in the context of your own life.
What you learn needs to become useful to you. And what is called support needs to function as support in your actual life.
A useful resource you cannot access is not yet support. A choice you cannot put into practice is not yet change. A plan that depends on you continuing to hold every piece together simply creates more work.
What becomes possible
Over our six weeks together, the goal is for you to have a clearer understanding of what is happening and what matters to you now, changes you are able to put into practice, and stronger support around what you need moving forward.
The aim is to make the conditions around you more supportive of the life you are actually living.
