    Sep 22 2024

    In this heartfelt episode of Musings with Me, I dive into the often-misunderstood world of perimenopause and menopause. I’ll share my personal journey through the emotional, mental, and physical waves of this life phase, touching on both the well-known and the lesser-known symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks, and those sneaky hot flushes. We’ll explore the metaphysical meaning behind what our bodies are telling us, and how diet, lifestyle, and emotional well-being play a huge role in this transition. If you’re looking for holistic remedies or simply want to feel seen and understood during this powerful shift, tune in for a thought provoking conversation.
