Frozen burritos, perimenopause & starting over

YVETTE MEDINA

STYLE + WELLNESS

This one’s a little raw, but I’m sharing anyway, because I know I’m not the only one.

I shared something vulnerable on Instagram recently about being in the thick of perimenopause. And I heard from so many of you that you're feeling the same.

Here's the story:

I kept trying to lose weight the way I did before perimenopause.
Only to finally realize, that was no longer going to work.

And just when I finally started to accept that I’d need to do something different… my house flooded.

January 21. New year, new chaos.

Jump to six months of frozen burritos, broken routines, and feeling like a stranger in my own body.

But here’s the thing: I’m still standing.
Not because I hacked my hormones or found a magic solution…
but because I took small, honest steps.
Ones that helped me feel like me again.

✨ Drinking water (before coffee… most days)
✨ Moving my body in ways that actually feel good and easy
✨ Saying no to clothes that make me feel like I have to shrink to fit

I’m calling it a soft reset.
It’s not a before-and-after story.
It’s a “this is where I am now, and I’m choosing to keep going” story.

If you’re in a season like this too, where your body’s changing, your energy’s weird, and even your style feels off, please know, I see you.

And if you want the exact things that have been helping me climb out of the fog (slowly but surely), just reply to this email with RESET.

No pressure. No sales pitch.
Just what I use when I need simple things to help me get back to myself.

We don’t need to bounce back.
We just need to come back to ourselves.
And maybe… put on an outfit that feels like a deep breath.

With you,
Yvette 💛

A Soft Place To Land

I’m creating a space for women navigating perimenopause who are tired of Googling everything, feeling dismissed, or trying to figure it all out alone.

This will be a space for:
✨ Real support
✨ Simple wellness education
✨ Shared experiences
✨ That magical
“omg SAME” energy

💛 No pressure. Just a soft place to land.

Styled-ish

I style women for brand shoots who want to feel confident on camera without trying too hard. Styled-ish is about clarity, ease, and leaving room to be human-ish.
