Perimenopause: A special reparenting opportunity

Janet Namdari • March 14, 2025

Your life depends on it.


One thing’s for sure and usually obvious to the person who is stuck in survival mode…


There’s not a lot of JOY being felt.


Likely, there’s also not a lot of hope or a sense of overall satisfaction in their life, either. 


When we’re stuck in survival mode, it’s an indicator of where we’re at in our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). 


Typically, it’s that we’re hanging out a lot in the fight/flight zone.


We’re operating on auto pilot moving from one task to the next…


We may find ourselves in an oppositional space (fight).


And/or we may be trying to get away from something (flight).


When we find ourselves hanging out in this zone (and it’s not that we’re experiencing a true/real emergency and need to fight/flee for our safety), it means we’re experiencing emotional dysregulation. 


Simply put, we're not hanging out much (if at all) in the ventral vagal/parasympathetic zone of our ANS...


That is, we're generally not feeling settled, hopeful, grounded, calm, joyful, rested, connected to others, and/or healthy, etc., etc. (the list goes on)


The COST: feeling anxious, fearful, worried, panicked, irritated, and/or rage. Decreased immune response, digestion, oxygen to vital organs, etc. Increased blood pressure/heart rate and blood clotting. 


The GOAL: to move out of dysregulation and into emotional regulation.


One of my responsibilities as a personal coach is to help clients move from living in survival mode to living life in a more emotionally regulated state…


So that they can experience more joy, hope, health, vitality…and an overall feeling of satisfaction in their lives.

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.
