Bio
E.B. Ferdig
In my mid-40s, I entered perimenopause and started gaining weight. I didn’t think much of it at first—being a body-positive person, I wasn’t overly concerned. But in 2019, I decided to quit drinking. That choice brought major relief to my perimenopause symptoms, but also opened the door to deeper truths I couldn’t ignore.
Over time, I came out as gay and ended my 25-year marriage.
I was scared—of being alone, of being too old to start over, and of whether I could support myself as a self-employed woman. But I knew I needed to take care of myself in a new way—not out of punishment or shame, but from a deep inner knowing: I needed to get strong—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—if I was going to step into the next chapter of my life with clarity and power.
That’s when I began lifting weights, working with a coach, and learning what no one had ever taught me about women’s bodies in midlife.
I had spent decades teaching yoga and practicing self-compassion—but I didn’t yet know how to hold myself accountable with love.
I didn’t know how much protein I actually needed.
I didn’t know the number on the scale had nothing to do with how strong I was becoming.
Now I do.
I know how disorienting midlife can be—but also how liberating.
You don’t have to do it alone.
