The Black Dragon Edition
Hot flashes still don't care about your schedule.
Brain fog still steals words.
The dragon still has notes.
This special second edition of Wiser Dragon's Perimenopause & Menopause Field Guide brings together real-life survival strategies, nervous-system-friendly tools, healthcare advocacy tips, and compassionate reminders that you're not lazy, dramatic, or losing your mind.
You're becoming the wiser dragon.
Pull up a blanket. Grab some water. The dragon saved you a seat. 🐉🖤A Survival Kit for Hot Flashes, Brain Fog, Anxiety, Missing Words, and Other Unexpected Dragon Behaviors
No one warned you that your body would suddenly become a mystery.
One minute you're a competent adult. The next you're standing in the kitchen wondering why you walked in there, sweating through your shirt, crying over a dog food commercial, and trying to remember a word you've used your entire life.
Welcome to perimenopause.
In this funny, honest, and deeply practical field guide, Dora Bond shares the real-life survival strategies that helped her navigate hot flashes, brain fog, insomnia, anxiety, rage, exhaustion, disappearing vocabulary, and the grief that comes with realizing your old operating system has been quietly replaced.
Inside you'll find:
Real-world survival tools that actually help
Scripts for talking to partners, children, coworkers, and doctors
Ways to manage anxiety, overwhelm, and self-gaslighting
Tiny rituals that support your nervous system when everything feels louder
Practical guidance for advocating for yourself in healthcare settings
Permission to stop treating yourself like a problem to solve
Through humor, personal stories, and the wisdom of the Wiser Dragon, this book offers something many women never receive during this stage of life:
Validation.
You are not lazy.
You are not broken.
You are not losing your mind.You are transforming in the wiser dragon.
Pull up a blanket. Grab some water. Touch your dragon.
You're not alone anymore.

The Dragon Philosophy
These cards aren't about burning calories.
They aren't about fixing yourself.
They're about maintaining a relationship with your body during seasons when energy is precious.
Because movement doesn't have to be big to matter.
Sometimes the most courageous thing a dragon can do is stretch, take a few steps, breathe deeply, and call it enough.
And enough is enough. is about.
