Ep 8: What Happens When Menopause is a Spiritual Awakening

After hearing four women bravely share their menopause stories, I felt inspired to share my own journey in a deeper, more vulderable way than I ever have before. This episode is about what happened when my carefully built life started falling apart during perimenopause, and how that breakdown became the beginning of the most profound healing and spiritual growth of my life. I share how the hormonal changes of menopause diminished my ability to suppress difficult emotions and truths I'd been hiding from since childhood. From divorce and career upheaval to facing generational trauma and cultural shame, I explore how menopause became a doorway to discovering who I really am beneath all the roles I played and believed gave me value and worth. We start with a grounding practice, and I share the healing tools that supported me, including trauma work, Reiki, and nervous system regulation. If you're navigating menopause or midlife transitions and wondering if there's meaning in the chaos, I believe this episode may be supportive for you.
