Podcast 20 Menopause and Accepting the Changes and Celebrating them.

Menopause is a natural cycle in a woman’s life happening for most of us between the ages of 40 – 55 and marks the end of our child-bearing years. This occurs during one of our most involved and committed phases of life when many of us have careers, families, community involvement, and other passions we need and want to focus on.  Most of us will have at least some shifts in physical, emotional, and possibly spiritual baselines and norms we have relied on for many years.  

The lead-up to menopause is sometimes surprising to many of us – we do not have training or stories to rely on and inform us in our peri-menopausal and menopausal journey.  We offer some ideas, stories and suggestions in this podcast.  The best thing you can do is be kind to yourself as you move through this change. You are not alone and many new programs, apps and resources are available to help us track and understand our own menopause journey.  Ultimately menopause may offer surprising freedom and changes in focus worth celebrating.  Keep in mind, when women gather together and support each other, amazing things occur.
