The comfort zone feels sweet and safe, which is why so many find it hard to leave, even for their health and well-being. I mean, who doesn’t want to feel safe? But perceived fear can sabotage self-care, especially the perceived fear around things like aging and menopause. 

Consider the fear of communication and the isolation some experience because society perpetuates the notion that aging and rites of passage like menopause are undesirable and should be shrouded in shame and secrecy.

It makes sense that some people are afraid to seek support in navigating the challenges that sometimes accompany the menopausal transition. But there is support in communities like THE PAUSE POD, which reject old, outdated, and misleading paradigms for a new diverse, inclusive, and personalized approach that recognizes menopause as a transformative life stage and celebrates its inherent potential for growth, empowerment and well-being.

It all starts with caring and sharing.  In this podcast episode, Guinness World Record Marathoner and award-winning photographer Regina Fleming share her insights on getting creative, exploring new interests, and activating deep desires to increase health and well-being during menopause and beyond. 

It’s worth a listen. 

Let’s (peri)MenoPause and prosper!
