    The Menopause Queen Episode 21 - When your Nervous System gets Negatively Affected by Under Expression

    The danger when you under value & under express yourself There is a kind of exhaustion that does not only come from lack of sleep… but from holding yourself back from being who you truly are. When we start doing things “the right way.” Becoming smaller. Quieter. More acceptable. When we avoid taking up space, expressing ourselves, or valuing who we are out of fear of judgement, rejection, or being misunderstood… the body feels it. The nervous system feels it. Because part of us remains in constant vigilance. Constant adaptation. Constant self-suppression. And over time, something begins to contract within. The breath becomes shorter. The body tighter. The energy lower. We can begin to confuse safety with invisibility. But the body was never designed to live in the constant compression of the self. It needs space. Truth. Movement. Expression. Expressing yourself does not mean becoming louder or more perfect. It means becoming aligned with what you truly feel. Saying yes when it is yes. Saying no when it is no. Honouring your voice. Your creativity. Your presence. And sometimes, healing the nervous system begins the moment we stop abandoning ourselves in order to be accepted or loved. You do not need to become someone else. You simply need to stop leaving yourself behind. Take a deep breath. Take up space. And allow your energy to flow freely once again 🤍 Welcome to this safe space - please join the Queen on their journey right here https://www.skool.com/the-menopause-queen-1010/about Hosted on Ausha.

    The Menopause Queen Episode 20 - When everything is the energy you emanate & your choose the story you tell

    You are constantly emanating energy. Through your words. Your body. Your choices. Your silence. Your presence. And somewhere along the way, many of us began telling stories about ourselves that were never truly ours. Welcome to  ⁨@themenopausequeen⁩  by  ⁨@CharlotteSaintJean⁩  I am a self proclaimed menopausal Queen, corporate witch and passionate about life! This is a space I use for therapy for myself but also hope that along the way I can help, influence, guide or just take your hand and say "you see you are not alone" I tell stories, make sure that every day is a party and try and bring sunshine into my own life and yours! Stories born from pain. From fear. From disappointment. From survival. But your past is not a prison. It is part of your roots. You do not need to erase what has happened. You do not need to deny the chapters that shaped you. Healing is not forgetting. It is integrating. It is allowing your experiences to become wisdom instead of limitation. Power instead of shame. Presence instead of protection. At any moment, you can choose again. Choose the energy you wish to embody. Choose the story you wish to live. Choose the version of yourself you are ready to become now. Because your energetic DNA is not fixed. It is alive. Moving. Evolving with every conscious breath, every aligned choice, every truth you dare to embody. You are not rewriting who you were. You are reclaiming who you have always been beneath the conditioning, the fear, the masks. Breathe deeply. Stand fully in your truth. And allow your energy to speak before you do. ✨ Please join our free The Menopause Queen Community here https://www.skool.com/the-menopause-queen-1010/about And should you wish to dive deeper into your menopause journey and need help then get in touch with Charlotte https://charlottesaintjean.com/ Hosted on Ausha.

    The Menopause Queen Episode 19 - Welcoming Transition as a chance to grow

    Episode 19 of The Menopause Queen Podcast arrives under the powerful energy of the May Flower Full Moon 🌕🌸 A moment of blossoming.Of revelation.Of seeing ourselves — and our lives — through a new lens. In this episode, I explore the transformational perspective shifts that menopause can invite into our lives.Not as an ending… but as a deep recalibration.A return to what is essential, authentic, and alive within us. I also share the profound wisdom that trees offer us during times of change. Because trees do not stop growing simply because the seasons change.They continue to push their roots deeper into the earth…while expanding upward toward the light. And perhaps we are being asked to do the same. To root ourselves more deeply into our truth.To stop abandoning our authenticity.To trust what is trying to emerge through us. Like trees, we are not here merely to survive.We are here to grow.To embody.To radiate.To manifest the truth of who we are. Even after storms.Even through transformation.Even when everything feels unfamiliar. This episode is an invitation to soften into the shifts,to honour the wisdom of your own cycles,and to remember that your roots are stronger than you think. 🎧 Listen, breathe, reflect… and allow yourself to bloom differently.

    The Menopause Queen Podcast - Episode 18 Ground down to rise up. How to use the universe to manifest your queendom

    There are moments when the energy around us feels more intense…and right now, the energy of Aquarius is no exception. ⚡️ In this episode of The Menopause Queen I invite you to explore this powerful wave — one that can both shake you and awaken you. An energy that is fast, electric, almost unpredictable…pushing you to react, to respond, to move beyond your comfort zone. But the real question is:where are you responding from? From impulse?From the mind?From unhealed wounds?Or from a grounded, aligned, conscious space? Because manifesting what you truly desiredoes not come from reaction…but from presence. In this episode, I invite you to slow down in the midst of intensity.To come back into your body.To choose your response rather than be driven by reaction. And to remember this truth: Heal for the girl you once were.Protect the woman you are.And rise for the Queen you were born to embody. This is not a fight against the world…It is a devotion to yourself. 🎧 An episode to realign, ground, and navigate this energy with power and awareness.

    The Menopause Queen Episode 17 - Perspective, Comparison, Failure & Celebrating the Glimmers

    What if everything was simply a matter of perspective… 🤍 In this episode, I invite you to explore those moments of doubt — when comparison creeps in, when you feel like you’re not enough…Not far enough, not successful enough, not where you “should” be. That feeling of failure, so familiar at times,often comes from seeing yourself through the lens of others. But what if you shifted the angle?What if balance wasn’t something to achieve,but something to dance with — fluid, imperfect, deeply human? We explore comparison, the stories we tell ourselves,and the beauty of returning to your own rhythm, your own truth. And most of all… learning to celebrate the sparkles. ✨ Those small, often unseen momentsthat are actually the truest markers of a rich, full, vibrant life. A smile.A step forward.A moment of presence.A breath of gratitude. Maybe you’re not failing…Maybe you’re simply living. And what if today, you chose to see the gold in the ordinary? 🎧 Tune in if you’re craving softness, perspective… and a little more light in the way you see your life.

    The Menopause Queen Episode 16 - Self Sabotage, Limiting Beliefs & Trying not to just Gallop thorugh the year

    The Menopause Queen Podcast – Episode 16 What if the biggest obstacles in our lives are not the ones outside of us…but the ones we quietly carry within? In this episode of The Menopause Queen, I explore the subtle ways limiting beliefs and self-sabotage can shape our choices, our energy, and the stories we tell ourselves about what is possible. We also step into the symbolism of the Chinese Year of the Horse. It’s easy to imagine the horse galloping freely through the year — wild, powerful, unstoppable. But horses are not solitary creatures. They are deeply attuned beings who live in herds, communicating through an incredibly subtle language of presence, energy, and truth. A horse senses everything.Your breath.Your tension.Your authenticity. They respond not to words, but to alignment. And perhaps there is a lesson here for this year. True freedom is not about running away from ourselves.It is about standing in truth. It requires presence.Honesty.Clarity. Because like horses, life responds to the energy we bring. In this episode we explore: ✨ how limiting beliefs quietly shape our lives✨ the patterns of self-sabotage that often appear in midlife transitions✨ what the wisdom of the horse can teach us about truth, presence and integrity A conversation about awareness, courage, and the quiet power of becoming more honest with ourselves. 🎧 Episode 16 is now available.

    The Menopause Queen Episode 15 - the Modern Witch

    There was a time when lighting a candle felt “woo woo.”When pulling an oracle card felt strange.When speaking about energy, intuition, cycles or ritual felt like stepping outside the norm. And yet… our grandmothers prayed.Our ancestors marked the moon.They baked bread with intention, blessed the fields, whispered wishes into the wind. What we now call “woo woo” was once simply life. In this video, I speak about how ritual is no longer something reserved for special occasions or secret circles. It is becoming beautifully normal again. Practical. Grounded. Embodied. Ritual can be:– Five quiet minutes before the house wakes up.– Lighting a candle before you open your laptop.– Pulling a card at the new moon.– Anointing your face with oil before bed.– Stepping outside and noticing the sky. Not dramatic.Not complicated.Not performative. Just intentional. We are remembering that the sacred and the practical were never meant to be separated.That spirituality doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. That daily devotion can live inside ordinary moments. When ritual becomes part of your rhythm — each day, each week, each cycle — life softens.You slow down.You listen.You respond instead of react. This isn’t about escaping reality.It’s about inhabiting it more fully. The mystical is no longer on the fringes.It is in your kitchen.Your morning walk.Your breath. And perhaps the most powerful shift of all is this: Join me on the epic journey of menopause & to Queendom - join the community hub for free HERE or find out more about Charlotte here You don’t need permission to make your life sacred.

    The Menopause Queen Episode 14 - Brain Fug, Anxiety, Fear & Hope at the end of the Tunnel

    Menopause – The fog, the fears… and the magic beyond The Be A Queen approach Menopause often feels like entering a fog.An in-between space. There is the mental fog that comes unexpectedly.Words slipping away.Focus feeling fragile.A sense of not functioning “as you used to.” There can also be anxiety, unease,sometimes fears with no clear reason,as if something inside suddenly starts questioning everything. And yet…what you are experiencing is not a breakdown.It is a reorganisation. In the Be A Queen approach, menopause is not seen as an ending,but as an initiatory passage.A moment where thoughts become louder,where the mind tries to regain control,where old reference points no longer work. Yes, many things are linked to thoughts.They speed up.They amplify.They create stories that can feel bigger than reality. But what is rarely said — and deeply important to remember —is this: the brain reorganises itself. After menopause, new neural pathways form.New ways of thinking, sensing and deciding emerge.Less driven by performance.More guided by clarity, intuition and depth. The magic does not disappear.It transforms. This passage invites you to let go of the version of yourselfthat had to prove, push, hold everything together.And to welcome a Queen who is more grounded,more sovereign,more aligned. Menopause is not the end of your light. It is the moment when it stops flickering for othersand begins to shine for you. This is my approach and within Be A Queen, we walk this path together with one deep knowing: there is hope,there is softness to reclaim, and beyond the fog, there is a new form of power waiting. A calm power.A lucid power.A quietly magical one.
