Hi love,
Perimenopause started for me in my late 30s, and on top of the physical symptoms, it left me questioning everything about who I was and the life I’d built.
At the time, I’d been on a path of personal development for many years, but I didn’t see this coming and it was like nothing I’d ever experienced before.
What I wanted more than anything was a place to be with women who understood.
So I’ve created one.
Alchemy & Ash now has a free, subscriber-only chat where women waking up through perimenopause can connect between posts.
It’s a place to talk about what this passage through perimenopause feels like with other women who get it.
I’ll share behind-the-scenes thoughts and the questions I’m sitting with, along with prompts to help us connect with each other and with ourselves. My hope is that it becomes a place where we can be in community together.
Women are already introducing themselves. Here’s the question we’re starting with:
Where are you in the perimenopause portal right now?
A. Curious about what’s ahead
B. Sensing something shifting
C. Deep in the void
D. Emerging on the other side
Come say hi and meet the other women in the chat. I hope you’ll join us there.
See you inside,
Jessie May ✨
P.S. The chat works best in the Substack app, where you’ll get a notification each time I start a new conversation. It also works on the web.
How to get started
Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like a chat bubble in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
