I have leaned all the way into being an auntie and the auntie aesthetics. I know that with that comes many things, most are amazing until you factor in perimenopause. The night sweats, the hot flashes, the body aches, the itchy ears, and the brain fog are all bad, but I am bearing with them. However, what is problematic and unbearable is the way perimenopause tried to damage my sex life.

I have been a sexual and sensual centered woman most of my life. I attribute that to several things, and honestly, now is not the time to dive into that. Just know, I have been voluntarily sexually active since I was 13–yes, too damn young and another story for another day—but my relationship with sex has never been rooted in shame or secrecy. I have enjoyed intimacy and learned a lot through every season of my life—and if I am being honest, my sex life got spicier as I got older, because I became more confident, and more comfortable in my body, with my body, and with the woman I am.
