Join me on my journey through menopause as I share my unique experience as a woman. This isn’t about negating anyone else's experience; I am offering my perspective with the hope that it might resonate with some of you.

Let’s explore menopause from multiple lenses. As a woman who honors the natural world and a psychologist who views human experiences through a distinct lens, I bring a dual perspective to this conversation, from silent bystander to active participant, sharing insights on the female body, life's cycles, and the impact of societal structures.

We live in a patriarchal system that often shames natural aging processes like menopause. If we shift our perspective to a matriarchal viewpoint, emphasizing feminine consciousness and holistic well-being we can approach menopause with curiosity and celebration. This has allowed me to navigate menopause with grace, not seeing it as something broken or wrong.

I’m sharing my journey with alternative healing and natural childbirth and how our narratives influence our experiences. These stories have shaped my approach to menopause, fostering a sense of awe and wonder rather than fear and confusion.

There is an interconnectedness of our physical and mental health, the importance of what we put into and onto our bodies, and how societal expectations influence our perception of menopause. By embracing a narrative of love, honor, and curiosity, we can redefine this stage of life.

Whether you're experiencing menopause, approaching it, or simply curious about a different perspective, I invite you to listen with an open heart. This is for anyone ready to explore a new narrative and find beauty in the natural cycles of a woman's life. 

Let's celebrate our bodies and the profound journeys they take us on.
