In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Ashley Turner, LMFT — licensed psychotherapist, psychedelic therapist, and founder of the Metamorphosis Mentorship — to explore menopause as a sacred, psycho-spiritual initiation.
Ashley shares her own journey through postpartum, perimenopause, and a Dark Night of the Soul — a season of identity loss, spiritual reckoning, and ultimately, radical rebirth.
Together, we go beyond the physical symptoms to name the deeper truth of this time: a dismantling of old identities, a reclamation of feminine power, and an awakening into embodied leadership.
Inside this conversation:
- The truth about perimenopause, menopause + postmenopause
- Why hormone therapy (HRT) saved Ashley’s life — and what she wants all women to know
- Womb grief, hysterectomy trauma + healing our second chakra
- Reclaiming feminine identity after the loss of cycle, libido, or societal “value”
- Why unhealed wounds from our Maiden years resurface at midlife — and how to meet them with grace
- How psychedelic therapy is transforming personal healing and intimate partnership
- The rise of the wise woman — and why it matters now more than ever
This is for the woman in the threshold. The one who knows something deeper is calling.
