Menopause Rise and Thrive | Helping Women Navigate Midlife and Menopause

127. When It All Goes Up in Flames: Grief, Gratitude & Rebuilding in Midlife


Listen Later

Have you ever had a week that flipped your world upside down—and somehow also cracked you open in the most meaningful way?

In this raw and unfiltered episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal: the fire that struck my wellness center last week and the emotional rollercoaster that followed. But more importantly, I’m opening up about the real-life practices—the ones I talk about every week—that are helping me stay grounded and present during an incredibly difficult time.

If you’re navigating your own season of upheaval, grief, or just trying to hold it all together, this episode is for you.

 

In this episode:

  • The emotional aftermath of losing my clinic to fire—and what’s helping me move through it
  • Why I made the bold decision to step away from acupuncture (at least for now)
  • How real rest (not just more coffee) is getting me through
  • What movement looks like when you're grieving and exhausted
  • The unexpected power of connection—and why it’s your secret healing superpower
  • How regulating your nervous system really works in crisis moments
  • An invitation to rebuild your life with more intention, honesty, and compassion
