Centered Through Change™

Centered Through Change™
The Perimenopause Mood Support Companion

Support your changing needs. Stay connected to yourself.

When your mood, patience, sleep, or concentration feels unfamiliar, knowing what you need—and how to ask for it—can feel difficult.

Centered Through Change™ offers a gentle, structured space to reflect on your experience, recognize your support needs, and take manageable steps toward daily care during perimenopause.

Created by Dr. Maxine Goring-Rodriguez, Ph.D. in Psychology, this SoulCentements™ digital companion draws on the Soul-Centered Mental Wellness Model, with spirituality at the center and four supporting quadrants: Healthy Sense of Self, Psychological Flexibility, Perspective, and Daily Maintenance.

Spirituality is approached inclusively through faith, meaning, purpose, nature, or connection.

Inside your companion

Made for your actual capacity

Use one page, one prompt, or one small practice at a time. The 30-day plan can be paused, adapted, or repeated. Two guided reflection scripts are included for reading aloud or recording in your own voice.

10 digital files: five editable Word documents and five printable PDFs. Pages feature 0.75-inch margins and seven-inch writing lines with college-ruled spacing.

PDFs are designed for printing and handwriting and do not contain interactive form fields. No physical product or audio recordings are included.

A note about care

This is an educational wellness and self-reflection resource, not medical treatment, psychotherapy, or a diagnostic tool. The reflection assessment is not clinically validated. Use the companion alongside appropriate professional care for persistent, worsening, or disruptive symptoms.

Your needs may change. Your worth remains.
