Five Reasons a Woman is at her Prime in Menopause

All too often, conversations around Menopause focus on oestrogen and progesterone, the hormones of fertility.

The gestalt of the situation is that around mid-life, as men's relative-testosterone drops, a woman's relative-testosterone peaks.

This affects your Libido, your boundaries, and rather than being numbed into mothering by your oestrogen, you can rise above your ovaries once and for all.

Testosterone gives us more getup and assertion to speak truth and action it.

Use your testosterone to get fit to get sexy to feel frigging incredible in your own skin

Use your testosterone to set boundaries and if you’re lucky enough to have some oxytocin thrown in, or you’ve done your work to honour the needs beneath your emotions (thank you Rosenberg) this will be easy.

It is far easier to speak your truth than it is to hold it in.

Much of the symptoms of inflammation and irritation throughout your body are because you have not spoken what needed to be said you have not done what needed to be done.

Now is that chance

do not let it past you by

Live life on your terms. It is your Birth rite

A woman’s power is in her autonomy to consent or otherwise

Menopause is about using your anger and regret to make better choices to structure your life and to communicate what really matters to you.

1. What if the anger and fatigue of menopause were simply acknowledgement of all the times you gave your power away and an opportunity to reclaim every single one?

2. What if the fatigue for the acknowledgement that you’ve not seen your life’s work for what It truly is? You’ve not seen the number of times you’ve had an impact which was not acknowledged, not recognised the dedication offered to your family, your spouse, your extended family and of course the hardest one, your children.

Then it wouldn’t be too late to look back on your life to shift the focus from “never enough”and the chase of the future now to what I created over the course of my lifetime and how might I honour it with the time I have left

3. What if the lower energy of menopause simply encouraging us to prepare for ageing? A reality check this stage of life is not about doing more being more.

When I think of the women I’ve admired my lifetime they have been women who were slightly worn by life, chilled out having expressed excess Lifeforce three years of breastfeeding and mothering

Grandmothers energy is patient … let it settle you

4. What if your wrinkles were a sign that you are more than your youth and fertility? You are your wisdom your experience. You’re your intelligence and your capacity.

5. And what if all this knowledge combined helped you realise that you now can harness your own creativity rather than give it away? This is why peri-menopause is the best time of your life.

Now, use it wisely, oh powerful one.

More than you know...

Your words leave a deep imprint,

Your gesture carries gravitas,

Your breath is presence,

Your fingertips are electricity,

so use them wisely.

They are more powerful than you could possibly believe.
