Get Happier Meditation’s FREE Mindful Menopause Guide

Honestly, it’s hard to believe I’m at the age for perimenopause. I feel young in many ways, despite the exhaustion of parenting two young kids. And I’ve always felt somewhat eternal, doing whatever I want to do at any age, without regard for what other people think or believe.

But here I am—forty-five, dealing with all kinds of hormone-related symptoms, including brain fog, mood swings, and most recently, anemia from heavy bleeding.

I haven’t yet experienced most of the physical issues that plague many women at midlife, like hot flashes (fun!), sleep disturbances, and weight gain. But I’m deep enough into the start of the change to recognize that I need a plan and tools to navigate this new chapter without losing myself or my mind.

That’s why I was thrilled to learn that Happier Meditation recently partnered with mindfulness expert Diane Winston to create The Mindful Menopause Guide—a free resource designed to help you move through this transition with more clarity, steadiness, and self-compassion.

Inside, you’ll find:

Guided mindfulness sessions tailored for menopause
Personal notes from Diana Winston on navigating change
Reflective prompts to help you connect with yourself
Meditation practices to support stress, sleep, and emotional balance

People don’t always want to talk about menopause. It can feel embarrassing, and it’s a confession of aging, which society tends to view negatively—despite it being inevitable for many and clearly better than the alternative!

None of us wants to be seen as weak, deteriorating, or less than. But avoiding the conversation just makes us feel more alone, and it prevents us from getting what we need to thrive as we age, which I fully intend to do.

If you’d like to do the same—if you’re determined to embrace your changing body and reclaim your calm and confidence as you navigate the emotional rollercoaster of your shifting hormones—I highly recommend that you check out The Mindful Menopause Guide. It’s totally free and absolutely invaluable.

We can’t change what we’re going through, but we can choose to meet it mindfully to reduce stress and feel more at home in our bodies.

I hope the guide is helpful to you!
