The Superpowers of Menopause
I know the coronavirus is first and foremost on everyone’s mind, and I want you to know I’m here and will continue to update you as needed. I hope you are doing well and taking good care of yourself.
If you find yourself with some extra time at home and are going through perimenopause or menopause, I invite you to dive in with me today for our final video of the perimenopause series!
Today we’re talking about the HUGE hormonal shift that we experience as we transition into menopause. Many women don’t understand it, which can make us feel like we’re going crazy.
In this video, I talk about why this transition can be so beautiful. It’s just 5 minutes and will really help you understand the true power of menopause:
Highlights from today’s video:
- Women’s hormones shift during this time. Estradiol, the dominant form of estrogen during the fertility years, declines and estrone becomes the dominant form of estrogen. It’s like getting a completely new operating system.
- Estradiol supports the superpowers that any busy working mom utilizes during this time, such as multi-tasking and being able to focus most of her attention on others.
- In menopause, however, we gain a new set of superpowers. These help us to be more focused and more internal. These superpowers also support us in becoming the wise woman we are meant to be during this time. It’s a beautiful opportunity to ask questions like, “What do I want? What can I contribute?”
- In this new phase of life, we are now the wisdom keepers of the tribe.
Although society may tell us differently, menopause is a time for women to step into their power and claim their sovereignty. As the wise women, it’s time to offer our gifts back to the world. It can be such a beautiful time of life.
Sending you all so much loving support,
