Liz Young shares her personal story of how she turned a most dreadful menopause around and found peace in her body again. A few years ago, Liz shifted drastically from peri-menopause to menopause. She was struggling with extreme bleeding to the point of calling the hospital, terrible brain-fog, out of control hot flashes, fatigue and dreadful episodes of depression.

The way we treat ourselves during pregnancy and postpartum has profound implications on how we transition through menopause. Ashlee and I chat about the effect of nourishment or lack thereof during the powerful event of giving birth and how it shows up during the next natural, major transition for women we call menopause.

Tracey was obsessed about menopause. It is all she could talk about once she hit that phase in her life. Tracey grew up in a family where topics like menopause was not exactly to be discussed.

Trauma is an integral part of human life. We have all had trauma to varying degrees, some more severe than others. On the severe end, think domestic violence, war, physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault or loss of a loved one. But trauma can also be more subtle maybe caused by a divorce or a minor accident. In fact, life starts with a trauma called birth. Could you call it anything else, when you are trying to squeeze your head through a tight canal? Looking at the definition of the word

Every woman goes through menopause, whether she wants to or not. Of course, that only applies if she gets old enough. Although discussing this phase of life openly becomes less and less taboo with every year, we still don’t get all that much information from our elders, books aside.
