As a holistic health guide rooted in Ayurveda and women’s wellness, I’ve seen how seasonal resets can bring women back into balance. This isn’t about restriction—it’s about renewal.
For too long, women have been told that perimenopause is a problem to be fixed, a disease to be treated, or something to simply “get through.” But what if this season of life is actually one of the most powerful transitions a woman can experience? In today’s podcast episode, I’m reframing midlife not as a medical condition, but as a sacred rite of passage—one that calls us deeper into wisdom, truth, and freedom in our own bodies.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, pathologized, or overwhelmed by the changes of perimenopause, this conversation is for you.
Listen below and explore the show notes for key takeaways.
Episode 2 – Perimenopause Is Not a Disease: Reframing Midlife as a Sacred Rite of Passage
Published: August 19, 2025 Host: Jessica Robinson | Sacred Wisdom Wellness Podcast – Where Holistic Health, Spiritual Truth, and Real Freedom Meet
Episode Summary:
Perimenopause is not something to fear, medicate away, or hide. It’s not the end of your beauty or vitality — it’s a sacred initiation into deeper wisdom, sovereignty, and freedom.
In this episode, I invite you to see perimenopause in a whole new light. Through both cultural critique and Ayurvedic perspective, I share why resisting this transition often creates more suffering — and how embracing it can unlock intuition, clarity, and spiritual growth.
What We Explore:
Why perimenopause is more than just a hormonal shift
How cultural lies about aging keep women stuck in fear and resistance
Ayurveda’s perspective on the Vata season of life (and what your body needs now)
Why “anti-aging” is actually anti-woman
How midlife can become the beginning of sovereignty, not the end of vitality
We were never meant to fight our way through midlife with fear in our hearts and a handful of prescriptions in our purses.
Perimenopause is not a disease. It’s not the end of your beauty, your vitality, or your worth. It is a sacred rite of passage — a threshold into a season of deeper wisdom, freedom, and self-possession.
Yet in our culture, we’ve been taught to see it as something to resist at all costs.
The Cultural Lie About Aging
We live in a world obsessed with youth — where “looking younger” is marketed as the ultimate achievement and where aging is something to hide, correct, or fix.
In this new movement of “women who don’t age,” we’re losing something essential: the honoring of the midlife years as a powerful, sacred transition.
Perimenopause — the years leading up to menopause — is not just a biological process. It’s a spiritual initiation. But the way our culture frames it, many women are going through this doorway kicking, screaming, and clinging desperately to a version of themselves that no longer exists.
Why Fighting Nature Hurts Us
The more we resist the natural shifts of this season, the more suffering we create for ourselves. Instead of listening to the body and supporting it through gentle, aligned practices, we are encouraged to:
Medicate away symptoms with blanket solutions like HRT without addressing root causes
Augment our bodies to hold onto youth instead of allowing them to evolve
Overwork and overstimulate ourselves to match the pace we could keep in our 20s or 30s
The truth? These years are meant to be different. You’re not supposed to have the same energy, body rhythms, or needs you once had — and that’s a good thing.
Ayurveda’s Wisdom on Midlife
In Ayurveda, perimenopause marks the beginning of the Vata season of life — a time when the energy of air and space increases. This is a period for:
Reflection and integration of your life’s experiences
Simplifying and refining what truly matters
Turning inward for wisdom and spiritual connection
Releasing what no longer serves your body, mind, or soul
When approached with care, this transition can bring increased clarity, deeper intuition, and a freedom you didn’t have in earlier decades.
A Call to Embrace, Not Resist
Rather than trying to “fix” perimenopause, what if we honored it? What if we moved through it willingly, with grace — supporting our bodies with nourishing foods, gentle movement, herbal allies, rest, and spiritual practices?
What if we showcased midlife as the glorious window of time it truly is — where beauty is defined by presence, vitality, and wisdom rather than wrinkle-free skin?
This is not a season to dread. It’s a season to step fully into this rite of passage.
If You’re Ready to Step Into This Season with Grace…
If you’re ready to move through perimenopause with grace and vitality, let’s connect. I offer a complimentary 20-minute Clarity Call where we’ll talk about your top health challenges and how an Ayurvedic approach can support you in this sacred season. If we’re a good fit, I’ll share the ways we can work together for deeper support.
Episode 1: You Think You’re Free… But Are You Really? | The Truth About Health, Healing & Feminine Freedom
Welcome to the very first episode of the Sacred Wisdom Wellness Podcast – Where Holistic Health, Spiritual Truth, and Real Freedom Meet! This space is for the woman who’s done with quick fixes, surface-level wellness trends, and the mainstream lies about health. In this first episode, I’m laying the foundation for everything to come — sharing the truth about what real freedom and real healing actually require. Whether you’re deep in a healing journey or just waking up to a new way of seeing the world, this episode will meet you right where you are.
We talk a lot about freedom in this country, but when I look at how most women are living — exhausted, overextended, disconnected from their bodies and trapped in cycles of depletion — I have to ask — Is this really freedom?
In this first episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it means to live under the illusion of freedom — and how cultural conditioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic survival mode have kept us from our birthright: true, embodied freedom in our health, our minds, our nervous systems, and our spirits.
If you’re feeling the nudge to take your power back — to reconnect to the truth of who you are and begin a healing journey that actually nourishes you — this episode is for you. 💙
Let this be your invitation to stop waiting and start choosing healing.

Aloe is antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-cancer, anti-tumor, detoxifying, and immuno-stimulating.
I hope you are as impressed with this herb as I am, and best of all — this beauty might already be one of the plants in your home! If not, you can probably pick one up at a local store and they are extremely forgiving houseplants.
ALOE is very easy to grow at home.
My advice – Put them in a sunny window and avoid over watering. They need to dry out a little between waterings. My aloe plants live outside in the summer months and do just find indoors when it’s freezing outside. I love having them around to use whenever we need it, which is quite often in any household with kids.

For me, Autumn has always carried with it an air of nostalgia. Once the leaves start turning and the air feels crisp, memories start to surface. Smells of pumpkin, apples, and cinnamon come alive and I’m reminded of so many yummy things — my Grandma’s pumpkin roll, apple butter, and warm toasted nuts, among others.
It’s good to know that so many of the things we crave at certain times of year are actually your body’s way of telling you what it needs! Winter squash, pumpkins, root vegetables, more pungent spices, nuts, and hot teas are all good things to be incorporating right now to counter the cold, dry qualities that come naturally in fall and winter (depending on where you live).
Here are 3 tips for living in a healthy way this Autumn…
1) Prioritize a mid-day meal! In other words — don’t skip lunch! If you’re looking for a good meal to take to work, I recommend this One-Pot Kitchari. It’s EASY and quick and works well in a thermos. 2) Drink warm water instead of cold. Fill up an insulated water bottle with warm-to-hot water and sip at least 2 ounces every 15-30 minutes. Warm water hydrates your cells better! 3) Go to bed early. This time of year the daylight keeps dwindling until we get to the winter solstice (the shortest day and longest night of the year). Your body’s biology is being called to take more time for rest. Earlier sleep will pay you back in many ways – you’ll feel more rested when you wake, and your body will do more natural detoxification while you sleep if you go to bed before 10 pm.
I hope these tips are helpful! If you’re curious about what I’ve been up to lately, check out this post on Facebook (or on Instagram).

I know you know what it’s like to be in a funk – to feel stuck in an emotional/mental state that is uncomfortable and unwanted, but feeling helpless.
You want to feel better but don’t know what to do to get there OR – you know what might help, but you have no motivation to take the steps.
Maybe you even feel undeserving of feeling good.
Have you been there? We’ve all been there! A better question is…
HOW can you shift out of a funk?
There are many methods to shifting states, and it might take something different each time, but these are my top 3 tips for getting unstuck:
1) stop avoiding. sit or lie down, and just feel the way you feel. hold yourself sweetly the way you would comfort a loved one and give yourself permission to just feel however you feel.
*note – be careful not to mix up thoughts and feelings! when you’re down, feelings can color your thoughts so don’t believe the negative thoughts that go through your mind during times like this.
2) move your body! dance to a favorite song, go for a walk, or just do some jumping jacks. moving will shift your physiology which will shift your mood.
3) call on God! pray/talk to the Divine. you don’t have to hold the burdens of life alone.
If I asked you how you’re doing today, would you answer honestly, or give me the typical “I’m fine”?
If a friend asked if you need help with today, would you answer with a “no thanks, I’ve got it”?
Like most people, chances are you’d assert that you’re fine and don’t need anything, because we’re taught to make the best of things (which is a perfectly good quality) — but…sometimes we do need help.
We all need a little help sometimes. Life has struggles. That’s just the truth.
Sometimes we feel stretched to the max with our current circumstances – either physically, emotionally, or both.
Although it often feels easier to just keep plugging away, ignoring the overwhelm, or the pain, consistently living under pressure/stress is a major source of dis-ease and for someone who already has a condition, those issues become more and more complicated (harder to solve) with time.
Let’s just be honest. Instead of making it harder for ourselves, acknowledge the hurt/ pressure/ dis-ease, ask for help, and accept it when someone offers.

If you put on your critical thinking cap… the numbers just don’t add up.
The fact is…your body is WISE and has an innate ability to HEAL, however, this is in direct opposition to the mainstream narrative around health and healing, which would have you believe that you know nothing in regard to your own body/mind and that it’s crucial to your survival to give your autonomy over to those that ‘know better’, a.k.a. the medical system.
I believe that we are all born with the Divine right of Sovereignty.
The reason most people aren’t empowered by their own autonomy is that most of us have been told what and how to do everything since early childhood. We’ve literally been told when, what, where, who, and how to talk, play, learn, eat, pee, live, work, love, be with, and have sex.
We’ve been taught to push down our intuition, desires, deepest sense of self, inner guidance system, and even our involuntary bodily functions. We were told that this would make us more productive, successful, desirable even, but we’ve been lied to and stripped of our connection to the deepest, most authentic parts of ourselves and robbed of the Divine Right of our Sovereignty.
To become EMPOWERED, all it takes is the desire to know the truth and the courage to step off the merry-go-round at the mainstream clown show and connect with your inner wisdom.
