Episode 250. The Grit of Perimenopause, aka Getting Fit For Menopause (Sjanie and Alexandra)

Today we’re talking about the reality of the grittiness of the forties; the physical health challenges, the emotional intensity, the responsibilities, the overwhelm, the stress. And we also explore how the forties are also a meaningful preparation for the great spiritual awakening and initiation of menopause.

Sjanie and Sophie share their personal stories from this life phase, which we call the Quickening at Red School, and we explore how to practically navigate the challenges that come up including; how to manage our energy, find nervous system regulation inside the fullness of life, hold the tension with intense reactivity and grow the emotional muscles to be inside the many mini death-and-rebirth moments of perimenopause.

In This Episode:
  • How to work with the uncertainty that can come from shifting menstrual cycles in your forties, and what to do when you find yourself outside of the map of the inner seasons.

    ‍
  • The importance of finding ways to slow everything down, even if it’s just inside yourself, when you’re navigating the edges of perimenopause.
