You've spent years figuring out how to function in a world that doesn't always work with your brain. So why does everything suddenly feel harder?
Maybe your ability to focus has changed. Your sensory sensitivities feel more intense. You're more easily overwhelmed, your emotions feel less predictable, or the systems you've relied on to stay organized are no longer working.
Perhaps you've always experienced some of these challenges but managed to compensate for them. Or maybe you're noticing patterns that have you questioning whether ADHD or autism has been part of your story all along.
And then there's perimenopause.
Hormonal fluctuations during midlife can influence sleep, cognition, mood, and stress responses. For neurodivergent women, these changes may interact with existing differences in executive functioning, sensory processing, and emotional regulation.
So how do we begin making sense of what's hormonal, what's neurodevelopmental, and where they overlap?
Join Veraluna Wellness for a FREE educational webinar exploring the intersection of perimenopause, ADHD, autism, and the internal experiences of neurodivergent women navigating midlife.
ADHD, Autism & Perimenopause: Understanding the differences and areas of overlap, including why these experiences can be difficult to distinguish.
The Hormonal Connection: How fluctuating estrogen and other hormonal changes may influence attention, cognitive functioning, sleep, and emotional well-being.
Executive Functioning in Midlife: Why organization, working memory, task initiation, and managing competing demands may become more challenging.
Masking, Compensation & Burnout: How years of adapting, overfunctioning, and meeting expectations can affect capacity during midlife.
Sensory & Nervous System Experiences: Understanding changes in sensory tolerance, overwhelm, irritability, and the need for recovery.
Our Internal System: Exploring protective patterns, self-criticism, perfectionism, and the emotional responses that may arise when familiar strategies stop working.
Support & Self-Advocacy: Identifying accommodations, supportive strategies, and appropriate medical or neurodevelopmental evaluation.
This webinar is for women who identify as ADHD, autistic, or AuDHD; women exploring the possibility of neurodivergence; and professionals interested in understanding how hormonal transitions may interact with neurodevelopmental differences.
You don't need to have a formal diagnosis to benefit from this conversation.
Our goal isn't to determine which label explains every experience. It's to build a more informed, compassionate understanding of how multiple factors may be interacting—and what support might help.
This webinar is educational and does not provide diagnosis, individualized medical advice, or therapy.

You know something feels different. But finding the words to explain it isn't always easy.
Maybe you're more easily overwhelmed. Your sleep has changed. You're struggling to concentrate, experiencing unfamiliar anxiety, or noticing that your patience and capacity aren't what they used to be.
Maybe you're doing all the same things you've always done, but suddenly, they aren't working the same way.
For many women, these experiences can be connected to perimenopause—a hormonal transition that can affect far more than menstrual cycles and hot flashes.
Join Veraluna Wellness for a FREE educational webinar exploring how perimenopause can influence the body, brain, nervous system, and emotional well-being.
Understanding Perimenopause: What it is, when it can begin, and why symptoms may appear before menstrual changes.
Beyond Hot Flashes: Common and lesser-known symptoms, including brain fog, joint discomfort, anxiety, irritability, and sleep disruption.
The Brain–Body Connection: How changing hormones can influence cognition, mood, stress responses, and physical well-being.
Our Internal System: How emotional responses and protective patterns may emerge as we navigate physical and psychological changes.
Curiosity & Compassion: Ways to better recognize your experiences, understand your needs, and seek appropriate support.
Workplace Awareness: An introduction to Illinois' new menopause-related workplace accommodation protections taking effect January 1, 2027.
Whether you're navigating these changes yourself or supporting someone who is, this webinar offers education, practical perspectives, and a more compassionate understanding of this stage of life.
This webinar is educational and does not provide diagnosis, individualized medical advice, or therapy.
Perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep, concentration, temperature regulation, energy, mood, and other aspects of working life—often during an employee’s most experienced and influential career years.

Participants will learn how to:
Understand the workplace impact of perimenopause and menopause

Respond appropriately to sensitive conversations and requests for support
Protect employee privacy and avoid common leadership mistakes
Consider practical workplace adjustments
Evaluate accommodation procedures, manager training, benefits, and employee communications

The goal is equitable access to contribution, support, and professional opportunity.
Who should attend: HR and benefits professionals, executives, people managers, employee-relations teams, legal and compliance partners, and workplace wellbeing leaders.
Duration: 90 minutes
This webinar provides general workplace education and does not constitute legal or medical advice.

Explore the feelings, needs, and protective patterns showing up in perimenopause with the PerimenoParts Get to Know the Parts card deck.
A little room for the parts carrying a lot.
Part of you keeps pushing. Part of you is exhausted. Part of you wonders why things that once felt manageable now ask so much of you.
In this second deck of the PerimenoParts series, Get to Know the Parts invites you to slow down and listen to these inner responses. This deck offers questions and prompts to explore the feelings, needs, and protective patterns that may be showing up during perimenopause.
There is no correct response to uncover. You get to decide which words fit, what feels useful, and how deeply you want to explore.
Inside this 50+ card deck, you will find-
● Named parts that offer possible starting points for reflection.
● Questions and brief prompts for exploring feelings, needs, and patterns.
● Invitations to consider what a part may want you to know or may be trying to protect.
● Guidance informed by the qualities of curiosity, compassion, and connection.
This may be your starting point if…
You recognize familiar patterns such as pushing through, people-pleasing, withdrawing, or trying to control everything—and want space to understand them. You may also be looking for a gentle way to begin journaling or bring something meaningful into therapy.
How to use it
Choose a card that catches your attention. Notice what fits and what does not. Consider one question, write a few words, or simply sit with your response. You can rename the part, set the card aside, or explore it with a therapist.
What’s included: One Get to Know the Parts physical card deck.
A little language for a body doing a lot.
When your body feels unfamiliar, it can be hard to know where to begin. Meet the Parts offers a compassionate introduction to the physical experiences that may accompany perimenopause—with relatable illustrations, accessible education, and humor that makes room for the absurdity of it all.
This first card deck in the PerimenoParts series helps you notice what is happening, find words for your experience, and bring more focused questions to your healthcare conversations.
Inside the 48+ card deck, you will find-
● Illustrated cards introducing a range of perimenopause-related experiences.
● Educational explanations of what may be happening and why.
● Common experiences to notice and questions to discuss with a healthcare provider.
● A welcoming introduction to the PerimenoParts approach.
This may be your starting point if…
You want to better describe what you’re noticing in your body. You appreciate information that feels approachable and human. Or you would like a tangible way to begin a conversation about experiences you have struggled to explain.
How to use it
Choose a card that connects with your experience. Read it, note what feels relevant, and jot down questions or patterns you want to discuss with your healthcare provider. You do not need to identify with every card.
Find more ways to use the deck in the card deck introduction, as well as on the PerimenoParts webpage.
