There’s a shift that happens in our late 30s and 40s. Subtle at first—maybe it’s harder to sleep, you’re snapping more than usual, or you can’t quite shake the brain fog. You might chalk it up to stress or aging… but what you’re experiencing could be perimenopause—the transition period leading up to menopause.

And guess what?

You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not alone.

At My Sister’s Advocate, we’re creating space for women of color to feel seen, supported, and informed through every part of this journey—because perimenopause is real, and it deserves real support.

🌀 What Is Perimenopause—And Why Isn’t Anyone Talking About It?

Perimenopause is the 4–10 year stretch before menopause officially begins. During this time, your hormone levels—especially estrogen and progesterone—start to fluctuate. The result? A mix of emotional, physical, and spiritual changes that can feel… confusing.

Common symptoms include:

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Changes in your period

• Mood swings or anxiety

• Sleep disturbances

• Vaginal dryness

• Brain fog or forgetfulness

• Weight gain or fatigue

And if you’re a caregiver, working full-time, managing relationships, or all of the above? That stress compounds.

Many African-American women are underdiagnosed, overlooked, or simply told to “wait it out.” That’s not okay—and that’s exactly why we need each other.

💜 Why Community Is Your Most Underrated Health Tool

In a world where women are told to power through, a supportive circle gives you permission to pause and prioritize yourself. A sisterhood that understands what you’re going through can offer something the internet can’t: context, compassion, and cultural resonance.

In community, we:

• 💬 Share wisdom that isn’t found in pamphlets or Google searches

• 🤝 Normalize conversations about hormone health, intimacy, and self-care

• ✨ Replace shame with knowledge—and isolation with connection

🌸 The Sisterhood of Support (SOS) Community: Your Sanctuary for the Midlife Journey

Our private community, the Sisterhood of Support (SOS) Community, was created specifically for midlife women navigating perimenopause and all that comes with it. It’s a sacred space to be uplifted, educated, and empowered.

✨ Midlife Is Not a Crisis—It’s a Calling

Perimenopause is not just a hormonal shift. It’s a doorway.
To deeper self-awareness.
To rest.
To growth.
To reclaiming your voice.

And you don’t have to walk through that door alone.
