There is a moment in every life that quietly divides time into before and after. It may not look extraordinary from the outside. There is no music, no announcement, no clear beginning or end.

There’s a moment many women reach in their early to mid-40s where something shifts. It’s subtle at first… and then undeniable. Your body feels different. Your tolerance drops.
