Health is an ongoing relationship with ourselves, not a destination.

If you read the letter I wrote you in my first post, you might be wondering why I decided to build a Women’s Health and Wellness Coaching practice centered around women navigating hormonal changes. In my practice, perimenopause and menopause may be the doorway. Whole person health is the work.

But health and wellness wasn’t where my career started, but I’ve always been in the business of people. Before becoming a health coach, I spent more than 15 years in Recruiting and Talent Acquisition, most recently in Big Tech. Listening, asking questions, understanding what mattered to someone. I’ve spent years, both building robust talent acquisition strategies for Executive Leader’s organizational goals and managing the end to end experience of high achieving talent leading them towards the careers they were to building.

In many ways, I’ve been a coach my entire career — just in a different setting.

A big part of that work was learning how to listen, make sense of what hiring leaders were looking for, understanding their bigger vision, and distilling that vision into a plan that mapped talent to incredible, and often times, life changing career opportunities.

The name Pi Nourish was born out of wanting to honor my late grandmother who passed away in 2005. Her birthday was March 14 — Pi Day with 3, 1, and 4 being the first 3 digits of the infinite number representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter 3.14. Because π is infinite, I started to correlate this to one’s experience living well and landed on the belief that health isn’t a destination, but a cycle.

What I didn't fully see until I started coaching women is how much of my own life had been built on doing — producing, fixing, achieving — as a way of proving I was okay. And I'm not alone in that. So many of the women I talk to are exhausted not because they're lazy or undisciplined, but because they've spent decades equating their worth with their output.

Here's what I've learned, both in my own life and in this work: real, lasting change doesn't come from doing more. It comes from a shift in being.

You can hand someone a meal plan, a sleep protocol, a supplement list — the "doing." And sometimes that's useful. But if a woman doesn't first get quiet enough to hear what she actually needs, what she's been ignoring, what she's been pushing past for years — the doing won't stick. She'll white-knuckle it for a few weeks and end up right back where she started, except more discouraged.

This is the whole reason I built The Pi Method — Point, Precision, Practice, Permanent. It starts with Point: getting still enough to identify what's actually true for you, before we ever talk about what to do about it. Because perimenopause and menopause aren't problems to fix with more hustle.

Perimenopause and menopause will find every woman, usually in the middle of everything else — a career, a family, aging parents, a body you barely recognize. The things that used to work for your sleep, your energy, your mood, simply plateau. And for so many high-achieving women, that's when it becomes clear: the way you were operating was never sustainable. You were pushing through, overriding yourself for years. Your body just stopped letting you get away with it.

Now you've arrived at an inevitable, deeply personal point in your journey — one that asks you to slow down and get quiet enough to finally hear yourself.

That's the tagline I keep coming back to: helping women get quiet enough to hear themselves again.

This blog is where I'll be sharing that work — the framework, the science, the stories, the moments that don't get talked about enough. If you're in this season of life and feel like you're doing everything right but still feel off, I'm glad you're here. I think you'll find this is less about adding one more thing to your to-do list, and more about finally putting some of it down.
