I love a real, no-holds-barred conversation. Don't you!

I had the chance to join Dr. Bob Rakowski for an episode of his stellar podcast during which we discussed how I go about helping women pair their #lifestyle to their evolving #hormones during their #menopause transition.

If you're in the throes of this transition, please take a listen. If you're not yet knocking on menopause's door, please too, take a listen...

You can avoid many of the pitfalls I clawed my way out of by going into it with a toolkit that matches
#perimenopause's punch!

Don't think I'd forget about my #postmenopausal sisters, we talked about things for us too.

Dr. Bob was a great #podcast host - he knows how to ask the meaningful questions! While you're listening to our 30 minute episode, subscribe to his YouTube channel (@DrBobRakowskiTV) so you'll see his next episode pop up when he drops it.

I'm already looking forward to who he has on next - and our follow-up episode! (It will be on either his podcast or mine, maybe both 🤷‍♀️)

Let me know what you learn in the comments, and please tell me what you want to learn more about so I can address it in a future episode.

Unraveling.

Though often spoken of in a sense of the negative, I see it through the possibility lens.

When you unravel a physical thing, you transform it's shape or form. You're left with the same material and the possibility of building it back better (form) or giving it a new look (shape).

In my mind it is the same for you and me.

I focus my work on our midlife unraveling.

This is a phenomenon that affects each and every one of us in one way or another during our life journey. We don't get through midlife without some form of a shift. In other words, some part of our life (or parts), goes through a transition.

In my mind, midlife is fluid in timing. I see it as that time in which we have some life experiences that have both humbled as well as inspired us. We know there is so much more we want to explore, so we’re willing to rally and set forth on a path that actually serves us.

The unraveling may show up in our relationships. We need to renegotiate our agreements with others (and ourselves) during this life transition.

It reveals itself in our health and / or wellbeing, from the physical to the emotional to the spiritual in nature. We need to examine how we take care of ourselves during this transition to take forth what works for us and leave what doesn't.

The unraveling may occur insidiously or it may hit you like a ton of bricks.

The point here is that it is happening.

I look at our unraveling as an opportunity to make a choice.

The choice is to face the transition head-on, or to hope and pray it doesn't sting too bad when it happens. The former is the proactive approach and the latter is the all-too-commonly chosen reactive option.

I'm Team Proactive all the way.

You can pull any thread to unravel the universe. And you can do the same for your inner universe.

Choose your threads wisely.

I've "been there, done that", and I know how to compress the learning curve for you along your journey, I am a no-judgement zone. There is nothing you've thought, done, or experienced for which I will pass judgement.

Don't go it alone if your head and heart are asking for an assist. 💜

Say "New Year, New You" one more time!!



I mean seriously...aren't you sick of hearing that?



It's just one more way the hypesters (marketers) to set us up to feel like we've failed, yet again.



You are whole and complete, worthy and correct exactly as you are today.



And don't you forget it!



XOXO Sam 💜

Read my lips 👄 #BigPharma and your minions...

↪️ "Stop 'shoulding' on us! We'll decide what we 'should' experience. And I guarantee you this, it won't be one thing generated from your 'here, take this' machine." ↩️

#MidlifeWomen are not for sale. 🚫

🌎 Our experiences.
🚺 Our bodies.
💭 Our thoughts.

None of it is yours. They are ours, and ours alone.

We're taking over from here.

You've had your time. That time can no longer be found on our clock, biological or otherwise. ⏰

One of the most magnificent parts of midlife is the wisdom that accompanies it. That is, if you're willing to take a good, hard look into life as you've lived it up to now.

I get into it a bit in this episode on the The CEO Doctor Podcast with my new friend 👭 Char Watson. Take a listen and share with me what you are no longer tolerating in midlife. 💜
