I’m Your Peri Godmother
by Shelly Horton
Think perimenopause is just hot flushes and the odd missed period? Bless. Think again. This is the first ever Aussie guide to perimenopause that says it like it is-raw, real, and ridiculously funny. Health advocate and journalist Shelly Horton went from media powerhouse to a hormonal hot mess in the ICU, all because she had no idea what perimenopause actually was. Spoiler alert: it’s not just for “old ladies” and it’s definitely not just a few sweaty nights.
I’m Your Peri Godmother is your ultimate survival guide through the hormone hurricane – with expert advice from menopause legends like Dr Louise Newson, Dr Mary Claire Haver, and Dr Kelly Casperson. Plus, it’s stacked with evidence-based treatments, laugh-out-loud stories, and brutally honest truths that’ll have you yelling “same!” Now, she’s breaking the silence and dishing up everything you really need to know with zero shame and a whole lotta sass.
The truth about HRT (and whether it’s your new bestie)
How to handle insomnia, anxiety, mood swings, weight gain and bleeding like a crime scene
Which supplements actually help (and which are just overpriced snake oil)
Why your vagina needs TLC – and we’re not kidding
How to survive work without rage-quitting on the daily
Shelly’s your fierce, fabulous, no-bullshit peri godmother. She’s here to wave her magic wand (and maybe a bottle of shiraz), hold your hand, and get you through perimenopause without losing your mind – or your sense of humour.
Buy it. Read it. Share it. Let’s smash the silence together.
