Unraveling Together

During one of my spiritual pleadings early on in perimenopause, I vowed that I would not let another woman suffer through peri like I was, if I just made it through it! Ever pray to the porcelain gods? It was like that but the nauseating head-spinning feeling did not end in 24 hours or less……

Allow me to paint the scene for you…in it, there sits a woman.  She could be anyone you know.   To the outer world, she is strong and centered.  She is the one everyone else turns to in times of trouble. All the while, she sits at rock bottom. Where she slips silently into a deafening internal…

Our libidos take a hit at every bend in the road of life and the switchbacks intensify during midlife.  As does our stress. First of all, most of us are so overextended we don’t know if we’re coming or going.  We say “yes” too often to keep in line with our role as the “put-er…

Have you ever noticed that one day you’re even-keeled, steady and everything you “touch” turns to gold?  Only to be followed a day or so later (maybe a week) when you appear to have been strapped into an emotional rollercoaster (against your will), taken for a wild ride (that is anything but fun), and now…

A common backseat driver of #perimenopause, and total nuisance, is #brainfog, AKA perimenopause brain.  It’s like pregnancy brain but then again, its not.   People are much more forgiving toward our forgetfulness, the occasional word loss, and our momentarily scattered selves when there’s a “Baby On Board”.  When it’s perimenopause brain, those around us can…

There is an ROI on both leadership development and talent retention that you may not have given much thought to. Seeing that you’ve invested heavily into hiring, training, and the professional development of the women in your company, when they stay and grow with your company that can add zeros with commas to the company’s…

As a result of my personal experience with perimenopause (peri) and the realization that peri is something we just don’t talk about, I made a shift in my professional focus.  We need to be talking about perimenopause. This is a conversation that belongs in every room in which there are women.  From the boardroom to…

In this episode, I pose some questions I believe every business leadership team needs to consider.   If you are a decision maker for your company, consider this:   How much talent, experienced leadership, and company wisdom are you hemorrhaging when women are faced with the lose/lose proposition that occurs when their needs during perimenopause…

You have more important things to be focused on than your love/hate relationship with your bathroom scale. Wouldn’t you agree? You’re up to big things in this world and wasting time engaged in a war with your weight is not one of them! The conversation around “weight loss” is not really about weight. Weight is…

To transform ourselves, we need our Inner Rebel to be fully engaged. Yet channeling one’s Inner Rebel is challenging for most. She’s “in there”, I promise. In this episode we explore the making of an Inner Rebel and why her recruitment is a critical piece for completion of our #holistic #transformation puzzle. This is not…
