Perimenopause: A special reparenting opportunity

How and Why We Must Fill Our Cups - Plus My Personal Top 5 Ways


When we're not getting our self-care needs met, we aren't functioning optimally.


Our relationship with ourselves AND others suffer.


And needless to say, our parenting suffers.


When we feel depleted, we're just not as available to be there for others - such as our children - in the ways they need.


Here are my top FIVE current ways of keeping my own cup filled:


  1. Taking 10-15 minutes before bedtime each night to let go of

the day by doing yoga poses and focusing on my breathing


  2. Going for a walk almost daily (with or without my kids)


  3. Pre-arranging 'me time at least 1-2 times a week so that I can do something that brings me j       joy/satisfaction (examples: walking on the beach, going to a yoga class, working on a creative project, etc.)


  4. Getting regular, monthly massages


  5. Coaching sessions (yes, I have my own coach)


Being on the receiving end of coaching is most certainly self-care for me...


I feel SEEN, HEARD, and UNDERSTOOD. Sessions help me gain clarity and leave me feeling empowered to show up in my life authentically and more connected. 


And my own clients report having very similar experiences. 


During sessions, clients are looking within, getting grounded and tuned in to their own needs and desires. They are learning new ways that serve themselves and their families better. My clients are literally transforming themselves and their parenting!

Perimenopause: A special reparenting opportunity

By Janet Namdari • March 17, 2026
I’ve made the conscious choice to reject the toxic negativity I see and hear surrounding the topic of perimenopause. To clarify, I’m choosing to view this phase in my life as a natural transition and a sacred invitation. An invitation to show up for myself - like a parent does for their child. To show up in a way that’s conscious and supportive. (NOT judgy and shaming) Feeling called to join me? I’m choosing to recognize that big changes are, indeed, taking place… Reminiscent of the pre-teen and teen years… Anxiety, irritability, pimples, headaches, inflammation, forgetfulness, shifts in sleep patterns, feeling extra tired, body appearance changes, etc. A recalibration of hormones is, indeed, taking place. And I’m choosing to have faith in my body’s process. And if we REALLY pay attention and listen, we gain insight into ways to offer ourselves support… It’s an opportunity to reparent ourselves, by offering compassionate, responsive care. Examples: -Resting when we feel tired, as opposed to ‘pushing through.’ -Noticing and validating uncomfortable feelings that manifest. -Replacing body-shaming tendencies with love and appreciation. Want to join me in cultivating a new, kinder and more functional relationship with yourself? And regardless, of what life stage you’re currently experiencing, I’m here to help.
