Menopause & emotional health

Leaving the wrong relationship doesn’t always lead straight to healing. For many of us, it leads into the spiral, where old wounds resurface and familiar pain disguises itself as passion.

Let’s make space for what’s real—and find your way forward, with clarity and compassion.
