Perimenopause: puberty’s evil twin sister has arrived, and she’s reverse engineering your body without leaving the instructions. She’s tampering with the thermostat, interrupting your sleep, and filing your thoughts somewhere even you can’t find them. Meanwhile, everyone still expects you to know what’s for dinner. One minute you’re a functioning adult. The next, you’re crying over a puppy-food commercial, negotiating with your waistband, and looking for the glasses currently sitting on your head. Welcome. You’re in good company. Natalie Mills has been there, done that, and bought the sweat-wicking T-shirt. In Perimenopause for Beginners: A Humorous Survivor’s Account, she combines personal experience, researched information, and a generous helping of humor to help you make sense of changes nobody thought to explain properly. Inside, you’ll find: • Clear explanations of perimenopause and the changes you may notice. • Practical ways to approach hot flashes, disrupted sleep, brain fog, and changing moods. • Guidance on preparing for healthcare appointments and discussing treatment options. • Honest conversations about intimacy, family demands, work, and asking for support. • Permission to take your symptoms seriously while still laughing at the absurdity. Part of the Boundaries & Breakthroughs series, this is a warm, candid companion for women who would appreciate useful information without being assigned an entirely new lifestyle. You’ll also find music to match the mood, with songs by Kerry Anne Boer, the woman behind the Natalie Mills pen name. You deserve answers, support, and a little laughter… Preferably with the window open.
