Before Menopause, There’s This

A Calm Guide to the Mood and Anxiety Changes of Perimenopause

If you feel like your emotions have changed overnight—but no one can quite explain why—you’re not imagining it.

Perimenopause often begins years before menopause, and for many women the first signs aren’t physical. They’re emotional. Anxiety that comes out of nowhere. Mood swings that feel unfamiliar. Irritability, overwhelm, or a constant sense of being “on edge,” even when life hasn’t changed.

This book exists for the women who sense something is happening internally—but haven’t yet found clear, grounding answers.

Before Menopause, There’s This is a calm, practical guide to understanding perimenopause mood changes, perimenopause anxiety, and the emotional shifts that can quietly disrupt daily life. It explains what’s happening in a clear, reassuring way—without medical jargon, fear-based messaging, or dismissive advice.

Rather than telling you to “just manage stress,” this book helps you understand how hormonal changes during perimenopause affect the nervous system, emotional regulation, and mental resilience—and what you can do to feel steadier again.

What You’ll Learn Inside This Book

This Book Is For You If:

• You’re in your late 30s, 40s, or early 50s and feel emotionally different

• You’re experiencing mood swings, anxiety, or irritability without clear answers

• You feel more sensitive to stress than you used to

• You suspect perimenopause but haven’t been clearly guided

• You want calm, non-medical support—not dismissal or panic

• You want to understand your emotional changes, not fight them

Perimenopause is not a failure of resilience, strength, or mindset.

It is a biological transition that affects emotions long before it affects periods.

Understanding what’s happening can bring relief, self-trust, and a sense of calm back into your life. This book helps you name the change, understand it clearly, and navigate it with steadiness—before menopause, and before you lose confidence in yourself.
