This week Dilyana returns with an inspiring and clarifying conversation with Linda Bucher on navigating changes and cycles that occur during the menopausal years. Linda is a speaker, a Master-Certified Life Coach, a podcaster, and an author. Linda teaches people who are ready to see themselves, how to see themselves so they can unlock their gifts and talent, lead the life they’re meant to lead, and leave a legacy of positive change. She believes that each of us is here to use our unique gifts to make big, beautiful ripples that no one else can make. She's on a mission to inspire and impact millions of people to know their worth and share their gifts, deliberately creating big, beautiful ripples, and leaving the world a better place.
In this episode, Dilyana and Linda delve into the complex identity shifts women encounter during menopause, likening the process to a caterpillar's transformation into a butterfly. Linda highlights the importance of acknowledging and grieving old identities while distinguishing between 'clean' and 'dirty' pain. The discussion expands on strategies for managing these pains, including the application of Byron Katie's thought work. The episode transitions into exploring personal growth phases, from internal planning to the external actions of the hero's journey, culminating in the 'promised land' of new self-acceptance.
Additionally, they touch upon practical insights for women to harness self-awareness, establish boundaries, and make life changes confidently. Linda also shares updates on her new ventures, such as expanding her coaching services and launching her podcast 'Conversations Worth Your While.' This engaging discussion provides valuable tools and encouragement for women navigating the transformative journey of menopause.
