This one is a little different. Today I'm taking you behind the scenes of a day that felt very real and very raw for me. We started the morning at yoga, grabbed coffee with a good friend, came home to meal prep a cozy dinner in my Our Place Dream Cooker, and then I headed out for something I honestly wasn't sure I wanted to share... a sleep study.
Here's the thing. I've been going through perimenopause and dealing with psoriatic arthritis flare after flare, and my body just doesn't seem to be recovering the way it should. My doctor recommended a sleep study to look at how I'm actually sleeping, because so much of our healing, our hormone regulation, our inflammation, and our ability to recover comes down to the quality of our sleep.
I'm sharing this because I know so many of you are going through something similar. You're doing all the things and still feeling like your body isn't cooperating. You're not alone, and I want to bring you along for all of it, the yoga mornings AND the vulnerable nights.
This is my perimenopause journey, unfiltered.
Have you ever had a sleep study? Or are you dealing with autoimmune flares and hormonal changes at the same time? Come talk to me in the comments, I read every single one.
