When the graceful and glittering Estrogen starts fading from the halls of the Endocrine Inn, the body’s rhythms fall into a curious chaos. Hot flashes flare. Sleep disappears. Mood swings dance in without warning. Old patterns no longer hold. And everyone—from Progesterone to Pituitary, from Hypothalamus to Heart—wants to know: Where did Estrogen go?
Told through poetic storytelling, rich metaphor, and watercolor whimsy, this book follows Shanaya’s inner journey through perimenopause—as she navigates the mystery of hormonal change, meets the wise and quirky characters who inhabit her inner world, and discovers that this isn’t an ending—it’s a reweaving.
Both playful and profound, Where Did Estrogen Go? invites readers of all ages to laugh, learn, and feel seen on the path of hormonal transformation. Whether you’re in the midst of the change, preparing for it, or simply curious about the beautiful intelligence of the body, this book is a heartfelt companion for the journey.
Kerry has a way with words, and this book is no exception. She found a way to explain this delicate transition in a poetic, profound, artistic way!! Very grateful for Kerry sharing the knowledge of transitions written in such an enjoyable way. ~ Laura X.
Optimizing Existence: Navigating the Mundane and the Mystical offers readers an opportunity to explore intricate landscapes of human existence through a non-conventional perspective. Life is a dynamic journey where we can embrace the cosmic interconnectedness that unites all things while navigating the diverse aspects of earthly life. Living our everyday lives within the mystery of life, balancing the imminent and the transcendent, can foster deeper self-awareness, enabling us to recognize and embrace our true selves.
From our connection to everyday life to our connection with all that is, the material in Optimizing Existence explores topics such as the complexities of emotional and cognitive experiences, relational dynamics, personal power, change, and transformation, as well as intuition, societal constructs, perceptions of reality, notions of truth, myth, human evolution, and the mysteries of consciousness. The chapters, which can be read independently, are a journey through the complexities of the human experience with an overarching theme of optimizing our existence.
In "Pathways of Intentionality," Kerry shared, with vulnerability, her life story. It was a liberating and transformative experience for Kerry to be part of this book. Kerry very much enjoys honoring the life experience of others, regardless of the lessons their souls came here to learn on this Earthly plane.
​
The narratives shared in this book do not have the intention to tell others how to live or promote the notion of a "perfect" life, but rather to inspire the reader with life stories that have been powerfully experienced and are now vulnerably shared. The overall objective of this manuscript is to provide readers with an opportunity to journey with the writers while participating in moments of self-reflection regarding their own lives. We, the authors, are led by the premise that, as humans, we have much in common. Sharing our stories with one another can become a pathway toward ongoing wellness and living through the power of intentionality. While our stories are a moving target, we rely on the power of intentionality to guide our constant development of awareness that can foster on-going active engagements.
As writers, we understand that stories are constantly in a process of construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction. Yet, at any given time, stories demonstrate the magic of our journeys. We hope that our stories become an encouragement for you, as the reader, to continue journeying into your own heart. We express gratitude for your willingness to journey together with us as we all continue to live, learn, laugh, and love!
