Working Within Periods of Ongoing Change

Perimenopause, menopause, and midlife often involve shifts that are subtle, ongoing, and difficult to name. These shifts can affect the body, energy, sense of self, and relationship to work and responsibility, often without clear markers or timelines. For many Black and Brown women, this unfolds alongside continued expectations to function, contribute, and carry responsibility.

This work exists because these experiences deserve attention without being minimized, rushed, or explained away. It offers a defined and intentional container where what you are noticing can be taken seriously, even as life continues to move.

Rather than pushing toward resolution or certainty, attention is given to what is actually happening as it unfolds. The pace is guided by what supports orientation and informed choice within ongoing conditions, not by urgency, expectation, or the idea that things must first be settled before you can move forward.

What This Work Is And Is Not

This work is not personal development, self-improvement, or performance-based change. It is not about becoming a new version of yourself or fixing something that is broken.

It is a time-limited space to attend to the shifts in your body, energy, identity, and needs as they are unfolding, without urgency or pressure to resolve them. The emphasis is on understanding and orientation rather than outcomes, improvement, or transformation.

For many Black and Brown women, rest, reflection, and honest emotional experience have often been shaped by external demands and expectations. This work meets that reality without trying to override it or rush it away.

It offers a contained way of working that stays close to lived experience, so that movement forward is informed by personal judgment and direction rather than external pressure.

What We Pay Attention To

The work begins by paying attention to what is already present.

What your body is communicating.

What is changing in your life.

What feels heavy, tender, or unclear.

What no longer fits.

What you need more of and less of.


These are not treated as problems to solve. They are treated as information that matters and helps clarify what is asking for attention right now. 

My Role

My role is to offer steady, thoughtful support within a defined, time-limited container as you make sense of what is shifting. I pay attention to what you are experiencing and reflect it back with care and precision, without directing or managing you.

This includes careful listening, offering perspective when it supports orientation, and helping name patterns that may be difficult to see from the inside, so you can make choices and take next steps that are more aligned with what you know about yourself now. The work remains grounded in your lived experience and is held with attention to pace, boundaries, and timing.
