# Menstrual Cycle Awareness for Perimenopause ##### Get to know your cycle, even when perimenopause turns it into a hormonal shit show. --- > Perimenopause can feel like climate change: all your inner seasons in one day. One minute you know where you are in your cycle; the next, you don’t have a fucking clue. > > That doesn’t make menstrual cycle awareness pointless. It can help you notice what’s changing, track symptoms, work out what you need and advocate for yourself when you need help. > > In this training, I’ll walk you through how your cycle changes in perimenopause and the three steps to get to know it: monitor, decode and create your own blueprint. --- ## Watch the Full Training  --- ## Workshop Lessons (with transcripts) 1.
