Did you know science shows that mindfulness can do more than just help you relax? It can improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and might even slow brain aging? That’s more than just symptom relief!

Diana Winston, director of UCLA Mindful, joins me to explore how meditation can support your menopause experience. She makes mindfulness accessible for everyone, even those who feel too busy or think it’s not for them.

Diana shares practical tips for beginners, like starting with just five minutes a day using free apps like UCLA Mindful, or the Happier app, which has just released a new mindful guide to menopause. She also introduces the simple STOP technique to help ease anxiety and break the cycle of rumination. 

Instead of viewing menopause as a loss, meditation can help reframe this season as an opportunity for greater authenticity, power, and freedom. Why not start here?
