From Motherhood to Menopause: Announcing A Year of Nourishment and Renewal

Ignite your inner wisdom, honor life’s rhythms, and embrace the journey ahead.

This weekly program for my paid subscribers is a thoughtful invitation to honor yourself as you navigate the beautiful and often complex transitions of midlife—whether you’re experiencing perimenopause, menopause, or beyond. It’s also a space for women of all ages, because the most empowered journey through these transitions begins with preparation, awareness, and care long before they arise.

It’s a journey of rediscovery, one that embraces every stage of this natural process as an opportunity to connect deeply with your body, mind, and spirit. Over the next year, you’ll be introduced to holistic tools and gentle practices that build upon one another—week by week—to support your physical vitality, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth.

Alongside movement, nutrition, and mindfulness, you’ll discover the healing power of herbs and essential oils, which have been used for generations to bring balance, nourishment, and relief. Whether it’s sipping calming chamomile tea, diffusing hormone-supportive clary sage, or adding adaptogens like ashwagandha to your daily routine, you’ll learn how to integrate these natural allies to nurture your body and ease the transitions of midlife.

Starting the first week in January, you’ll receive an article in your inbox detailing the week’s lesson.

There will also be a chat available for you each week where you can ask me questions and share your experiences.

Thank you for allowing me to walk with you on this journey. Together, we will embrace this transformative season of life, celebrating the strength, beauty, and possibility that comes with it.

This program is available exclusively to paid subscribers of Stirring the Senses and will be found in the Motherhood to Menopause part of this newsletter. If you’d like to try it, you can sign up for a 7-day free trial subscription—and cancel at any time if it’s not for you.

What You’ll Discover on This Journey

Throughout Tending the Sacred Fire: A Year of Nourishment and Renewal, you’ll be guided step by step through simple yet powerful practices to support your body, mind, and spirit during midlife and beyond. Each week introduces a new focus—small, meaningful actions that build upon one another to create lasting transformation.

As the journey unfolds, we’ll explore hormonal harmony through food and herbs, making it easy to add natural, nutrient-dense allies to your life:

• Harness the Power of Maca: Find out how adding a teaspoon of energizing maca root to your smoothies or oatmeal can help balance hormones and boost your vitality.

• Boost Your Mood with Omega-3s: Enjoy delicious, nourishing foods like fatty fish, flaxseed oil, and chia seeds to support emotional balance and reduce inflammation.

When it comes to managing stress and emotional balance, you’ll be introduced to simple practices that calm your mind and restore your inner peace:

• 5 Minutes of Daily Breathwork: Learn how to use slow, intentional breathing to melt away stress, bring clarity to your thoughts, and calm your nervous system.

• The Power of Gratitude Journaling: Discover how writing down just three things you’re grateful for each day can shift your perspective and invite more joy into your life.

You’ll also reconnect with your body through movement and body awareness, inviting gentle strength and flow into your daily routine:

• Wake Up with a Gentle Stretch Routine: Start your mornings with 5-10 minutes of easy, energizing stretches that improve circulation, flexibility, and mood.

• Nourish with Restorative Exercise: Explore restorative practices like Yin Yoga or Tai Chi—movements that calm your body while helping you feel deeply centered and balanced.

Finally, you’ll embrace sacred practices and emotional nurturing—tools to create meaning, connection, and alignment in your life:

• Align with Nature’s Rhythms: Explore moon cycles and seasonal nourishment to bring harmony to your body and deepen your connection to the natural world.

These examples are just the beginning. Every week, you’ll be guided through practices that are simple, accessible, and deeply transformative—inviting you to care for yourself in new ways, find balance in the midst of life’s changes, and ignite the fire of wisdom and strength within you.

This program is your opportunity to slow down, nourish yourself deeply, and embrace midlife as a sacred time of growth, renewal, and possibility. Together, we’ll kindle the sacred fire within you—helping you feel connected, vibrant, and ready to thrive.
