“Menopause is not a problem to be fixed. It’s the ultimate wakeup call to trust yourself more than anything or anyone else. The uncomfortable symptoms are invitations to voice what has been suppressed, shed what doesn’t serve you, and step into a renewed and more powerful version of yourself.”

“Menopause is like being hijacked by the universe in the most exquisite way. It is an opportunity to build a new relationship with your body where you listen to what you need.”

“A hot flash signals that there is something that is not serving you that needs to be burned away. It could be a food I’ve eaten, I'm stressed and haven't set boundaries, or I need to speak my truth.”

“During menopause, your intuition and visionary abilities are heightened. Be the menopausal woman who speaks her truth.

“Menopause has helped me soften within myself, act with love, and be in the flow of my life. When you feel safe, you can let go of control, surrender, and be present with whatever happens.”

“I add a sacred pause to my responses to honor myself. When somebody asks me if I can do something, I pause to ask myself if I would be doing it out of obligation, and if by saying yes, I am saying no to myself.”

“Jane Hardwicke Collings invites us to embrace the teachings of our female ancestors as “the red thread” that connects us. Decide that you're going to be the person that breaks the cycle of narratives that don't serve you.”

“Menopause has made me feel alive. I've finally given myself permission to be me. Not the version of me that has to hustle and be everything for everybody else. The mask has come off and I’m not pretending. I am saying no to other things and saying yes to myself — to more adventures and more self-care.”
