PERIMENOPAUSE!!!
I mean, what is this fresh hell that is perimenopause?  I didn't even know it was a thing until I was smack dab feeling the bullshit symptoms of it.

AND IT CAN LAST UP TO 12 YEARS!

So, I decided to kick off a whole mini series in our midlife conversations episodes to talk about the mindfuck that is perimenopause & to see if some of the weird shit that you are experiencing is actually tied to hormone changes and perimenopause.  
Today I talk about:
*My own story with perimenopause...this far.
*Facts and stats about perimenopause that may surprise you.
*My addition of thorough hormone testing & reading that is completely included in the THRIVE program so we can start getting answers and support.

This is a part 2.  Listen to part 1 first to get the most of this episode.
 
Everybody has stress. It's part of the human experience.  But sometimes, that stress seems to NEVER go away and we become chronically stressed or go into "survival mode".  Which can bring on a bunch of bullshit that can affect our lives, jobs, relationships, friendships, and even health.  
 
Worst part? It makes midlife just that much harder...and midlife is already rough.
 
BUT! You can get out of it!
 
Today on the episode I talk about:
Questions to ask yourself to confirm if you are in survival mode. What to start doing to get OUT of survival mode. A bunch of sweary geniusy things.

Cause you and I both know it is rough.
I know not everyone learns best from reading. I don't.  So I did a short podcast to tell you all about my brand new program called Thrive that I launched on Friday.
A brand new positive psychology program w/retreats for women over 40 to learn the knowledge, skills, and mindsets to thrive in midlife.


Unlearn the beliefs that don’t work anymore, get more joy on a daily basis, regulate your emotions, build deep self-worth, and learn how to feed & move the body you have NOW.
Because midlife is fucking rough.

I'm back with part 2 with Can we actually change?
New Thrive Program
Maybe we are at midlife and not too proud of the person we have become, can we actually change it?  Can you teach an old dog new tricks?
 
Yup. If you know how to change and as it turns out...we never learned it!
 
In this 2 part episode about changing in midlife (when we are a bit grumpier and stuck in our ways) I'm going to breakdown why we DON'T change. 
 
Today I talk about:
The mindsets we need for change The different learning gaps that can get in the way. What are the real pieces we need in place for change. How I can help you get there Listen up.  It's a good convo.
