As we wrap up this first season of the Perimenopause Summit, I wanted to bring us together in a closing circle.
We find ourselves in the midst of Navaratri — the Nine Nights of the Goddess — and it feels so aligned to close under the gaze of Shakti herself. Each night honours a different form of the Goddess: fierce Durga, abundant Lakshmi, wise Saraswati. She protects, she creates, she dissolves, she renews.
Perimenopause has its own Navaratri. It asks us to shed, to rest, to rise. It invites us to call on the Goddess to carry us across doubts, through rage, and into truth with courage, compassion, and clarity.
Over these past days, we’ve heard from so many incredible women. The feedback has been beautiful:
Jane McCann’s raw honesty was “so refreshing, inspiring, and real.”
Listening to Katie Rose felt like “two old friends catching up,” while Nat Kringoudis offered “so much knowledge on hormones and health.”
One listener loved the line: “When oestrogen drops, your give-a-shit drops.”
Another wrote: “I’m careful what perimenopause conversations I put in my ears, but this one was worth it.”
A woman in her mid-30s shared how much these conversations matter to her now — as a mother and practitioner preparing for what’s ahead.
And many of you told me you feel “shifted, more in tune, and held by a community of women, even if we don’t know each other in person.”
Nearly 1000 downloads later, I’m humbled and grateful. I never set out to do this work or be a voice for perimenopause, but Dharma has a way of finding us. And here we are, breaking the taboo, changing the conversation, and beginning to see this season differently.
Inside this closing session, I share:
✨ Practices you can take into daily life — mantra, meditation, rest, adornment, beautifying your thoughts and rituals.
✨ Reflections on the wisdom we’ve heard from all our incredible speakers.
✨ A blessing for your own journey into the next season of life.
💛 If you loved the summit, please take a moment to leave a review on your podcast app — it helps more women find these conversations and feel less alone.
🌸 This is not the end. Another season of the Perimenopause Summit will be coming soon.
And if you’d like to keep walking together, the doors to the Marigold Membership are open. Inside we continue this work — Ayurveda in feminine form, yoga and nidra, seasonal cleanses, and a circle of women walking side by side. As a welcome, you’ll also receive a one-to-one Ayurvedic wellness session with me.
✨ Thank you for being part of this first season. May we carry Durga’s courage, Lakshmi’s abundance, and Saraswati’s wisdom into our own journeys — and walk forward not in fear, but in power, grace, and sisterhood.
