So the goal of this training is threefold. So number one is how our menstrual cycle changes in perimenopause. So that’s the first goal. Number two, how menstrual cycle awareness can still benefit us despite things changing. OK, so that’s number two. And number three, the three steps of menstrual cycle awareness. That is, how you can start getting to know your menstrual cycle. I mentioned that menstrual cycle awareness can still benefit us because somebody recently told me she didn’t think it was worth getting to know her cycle now that things were changing. She was in her late 40s and perimenopausal, and she believed menstrual cycle awareness was only for women with regular cycles. But this couldn’t be further from the truth, as you’re going to see in the rest of this training.
