In this episode of SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, host Nicole George connects with a Julie Beck, SOVEREIGN Magazine®’s Perimenopause (Peri-Power) Columnist to discuss the April Full Moon theme of finding balance during perimenopause. Julie shares why many women feel lost, disconnected, and out of balance as they juggle caregiving, careers, and constant obligations while expecting their bodies to perform as they did in earlier decades, often leading toward burnout. She reframes perimenopause as an invitation to slow down, accept support, and prioritize self-care, and introduces her “ABCs” framework: Acceptance, Boundaries, and Care. Julie offers journaling prompts to identify imbalance, what nourishes energy, where “yes” overrides inner truth, what to release for peace, and how to invite gratitude and joy, and Nicole encourages listeners to connect with Julie in the community.
