Honoring menopause as a life stage, not just a phase to get through acknowledges the weight of this transition. We live in a society that hasn’t given much room to understanding women’s bodies. While there is more information now than before, there are still large gaps in support for the physical, mental, and emotional experience of menopause. Too often, women don’t even begin to ask for information until we are already experiencing the challenges of shifting hormones. We turn to managing symptoms instead of caring for this pivotal transition.
In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I invited Marelda Rodrigues to join me in a conversation about honoring menopause as a life stage and yourself as deserving of care.
Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:
- Experiencing grief in physical transitions
- Societal norms, gaps in information, and becoming an advocate for yourself
- Health and self-care look different in different phases of life
- Slowing down and making room to learn your new body
