"What started as a way to survive my negative self-talk and the way I felt about my changing body became a collection of inspirational daily meditations. During perimenopause, I felt terribly alone and feared I was losing my mind. Through a number of self-loving practices — physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual — I learned to embrace the transition and thrive. I quit dieting, overcame disordered and emotional eating, and made peace with my weight and food. I share my thought-provoking, yet humorous, writings with other women so they know they are not alone and can learn to love their body and their life," said Bartlett.
