WOMEN ARE SUPERHEROES

As I’ve been helping more women, I’ve realized how we need to look at the transition into

menopause as the gateway to the second half of life and start to look forward with goals, active pursuits and achievements. It’s time to put the shovels away, stop digging the grave. Start looking at this time as a new adventure, time to do the things you couldn’t when you were younger and taking care of family or trying to figure out your career and life path. This is a second chance to dream the big dream!

We often focus on the struggles of women; everyday you can watch the news and there is a story about women’s rights being chiseled away in many different forms. I’m not political and I hate controversy so I stay in my lane and do what I can to help women one at a time. With that said I strongly feel that we need to empower women to feel safe and confident when asking for their needs to be met. After all, WOMEN ARE PRETTY AMAZING!

Here's a list of pretty amazing things women can do in case you’ve forgotten or need reminding:

• we can have babies!! We propagate the human race- no man has that power.

• We can find anything – how many times has your family member asked if you’ve seen

the pencil with the cool eraser head or the new bottle of probiotics we bought a month

ago. Women have an uncanny ability to know where everything is ALL THE TIME!

• We multitask like nobody’s business (well, at least we used to before hormones

scrambled our brains)

• We are emotionally connected to everything and that brings with it a certain type of

empathy for others. Without it this world would not exist

• We can find the missing sock

• Keep it going..... what can you do that is amazing???

I realize I may be inflating the awesome superpowers of women just a bit but only to pull you

out of the hormone funk and maybe consider that this next period of life is YOURS! You can

make it what you want. Imagine the amazing and fabulous YOU in 5-10 years.

If we can have babies, which is the biggest superpower I know, then we can do anything. And we can do it together. If we help each other, support and advocate for each other, listen, respect and HUG each other the world will take notice.

So slap that patch on and imagine how incredible this next adventure can be.
