Embracing Menopause - Sovereignty and Creative Rebirth

Join us as we welcome back Dr Saida Désilets for a transformative discussion about the empowering journey of menopause, challenging the misconceptions that often cloud this significant life phase. We explore menopause as a "power stage," a time where wisdom and vitality can flourish, shaking off the myths that suggest a loss of vitality post-fertility. With cultural stories and personal anecdotes, we emphasise the impact of shifting our mindset to embrace menopause as a rejuvenating period, a time of self-fertilisation and creative rebirth.

Our conversation delves into the evolving nature of desires, whether they are sensual, relational, or spiritual, and how these desires guide us toward a fulfilled life. By introducing practices like heart-centred meditations and conscious breathing, we underline the importance of building a deep connection with one's body, fostering sovereignty and emotional aliveness. This episode inspires listeners to look forward to every stage of life with anticipation and excitement, fostering open conversations that empower women to see menopause as a period of personal emergence and legacy creation.

As we navigate through the chapters, we celebrate the liberating phase where self-sovereignty takes centre stage, allowing for personal enjoyment and authenticity. The discussion extends to nurturing body sovereignty and health by emphasising the importance of understanding hormonal health and adopting practices that enhance well-being without relying on external interventions. From nurturing curiosity to embracing the power of choice even amidst grief, we wrap up with the transformative potential of recognising oneself as a sensual being, culminating in an exploration of life's "yum" moments that open us up to the beauty and pleasure inherent in everyday life.
