Aging. Menopause. Two things that many of us quietly go through, but rarely talk about out loud.
➡️ From my recent article in IamExpat, (link will be added in the comments) I mentioned that these life transitions don’t have to be full of fear, shame or silence. They can be moments of deep self-discovery, strength, and growth.
We all notice the shifts: the way our bodies change, the way sleep comes differently, how mood and energy change. Yet, it’s possible to move through this with kindness, self-compassion, and empowered choice. What if Menopause could be spoken about openly, without shame or secrecy…but a chapter we embrace with courage and clarity?
If you’re navigating this now, or know someone who is, here are three things that I believe can help:
1. Open conversations: with friends, family, or professionals. Speaking out helps reduce the weight.
2. Small, intentional self-care: whether it’s better sleep, nourishing foods, gentle movement, or mindfulness.
3. Reclaiming your story: recognising that this phase isn’t “something to get through,” but something to live fully.
If this resonates, I’d love to hear: what has helped you feel more confident or centred during Menopause or aging? 💜
➡️ Ready for more? If you’re curious how to practice this in your own life: better rest, balancing energy, regaining confidence, send me a DM. I’d be happy to offer ideas, tools, coaching or just be an active empathetic & compassionate listener.
