The powerful gift of the menopause
This week’s show is with Alexandra Pope & Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, co-founders of Red School teaching a radical new approach to women’s leadership, creativity and spiritual life based on the power of our menstruality consciousness.
I was so excited to have Alexandra and Sjarnie back on the show, this is their second time and their first was one of our favourite episodes and I know went down beautifully with you listeners too. I’m also a huge fan of their book Wild Power – if you haven’t read it yet, I can’t recommend it enough!
In this episode, we explored the gifts of menopause… what your menopausal symptoms really mean, why it’s a spiritual initiation, how menstrual cycle awareness prepares you for it and much more.
I’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.
What you’ll learn from this episode:
If you’ve been tracking your cycle, the menopause feels like a natural evolution – like it’s time to remove your training wheels and be who you really are to a whole new level
Your symptoms of menopause (and perimenopause) are there to teach you what’s not in alignment in your body and in your life. Just as in your autumn of your menstrual cycle you don’t have the tolerance for additional stress or toxins, this is also true in the menopause.
Self care is non-negotiable… good food, rest, detoxification, time alone… all of these are the nourishment you need to move through this initiation with the dignity and grace that’s your birthright.
The menopause isn’t only a gift to each women personally, it’s a gift to the world… it allows a woman to serve the world more powerfully and deeply and it’s a mirror and a catalyst for the transformation needed in the world as a whole.
