Navigating Menopause with The Menopause Midwife
Today we’re talking about the Big M - Menopause! This life phase leaves women frustrated, stressed, and even angry. Hot flashes, interruptive sleep, weight gain - oh my! If you're nodding along, feeling exasperated by the changes happening in your body, trust me, you're not alone. Like many others, you may find yourself caught up in the whirlwind of emotions, wondering, "Why is this happening to me?"
But what if there's another way to look at it? What if, instead of seeing menopause as something that's happening to us, we consider the idea that it could be happening for us? I know, it might sound radical, even infuriating at first. But bear with me because, let's face it, menopause is no laughing matter. And if there's a chance that shifting our perspective could alleviate some of the stress and anger we feel, wouldn't it be worth exploring?
To guide us through this mindset shift, we have a special guest today, Dr. Cari Schaefer, also known as The Menopause Midwife. With her background in traditional Chinese medicine, herbalism, and a passion for empowering women, Dr. Schaefer is here to offer insights, wisdom, and practical strategies to help us embrace menopause as a transformative journey rather than a dreaded ordeal.
Let’s explore Dr. Schaefer's holistic approach to menopause and uncover the tools we need to reclaim our vitality and balance in this new chapter of life. It's time to shift the narrative and embrace menopause as an opportunity for renewal and empowerment.
