Mastering Menopause And Midlife

When the Business You Built No Longer Fits (Part 2) — And What to Do Next

Dr. Adrienne ND Season 2 Episode 4

Let’s be honest—there comes a moment when the business that once lit you up… just doesn’t fit anymore.

It’s not broken. It’s not bad. But something in your body says, “this isn’t it.” And if you’re in perimenopause or the menopause transition, this feeling gets louder.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing what it looked like for me to pivot—not because I was burned out or bored—but because my body, mission, and truth were asking for something deeper. I walk you through the moment I realized my business model was built from proving, not presence, and what happened when I began reimagining it through the lens of nervous system regulation and energetic alignment.

If you’ve been craving a slower, truer way of doing business—and want permission to trust your instincts and stop performing success—this episode will feel like medicine.
