#59 Part 1: Finding Compassion and Empowerment In Menopause

In Part 1 of this 3-part series, Lori shares her personal experience with menopause and the challenges she faces. She refers to menopause as 'Meno-slap' because it felt like a sudden jolt rather than a pause, especially with the physical symptoms, hot flashes, bloating, hair loss, and anxiety, to name a few, as well as emotional and psychological impact. Lori reflects on the lack of discussion and support around menopause in her upbringing and emphasizes the importance of compassion and self-care during this transition. She encourages women to redefine their menopause experience and find ways to empower themselves.Episode description
