Our guest today is Tamu Mosley, who is a student of Alexandra and Sjanie’s Menopause: The Great Awakener course, and is an initiated Sacred Woman, wholistic wellness facilitator, teacher, and mama. Tamu was guided by her mum to track her cycles from her very first bleed, and now, a few years post menopause, she sees how cycle awareness guided her through her menopause initiation.

When Tamu was entering perimenopause she was studying with the world renowned spiritual teacher from Burkina Faso, Sobonfu Some, who said that when a woman enters menopause, she becomes the carrier of the water of life for the community. In our conversation Tamu shares about the water medicines that supported her through the fire and heat of the five phases of her menopause process, and have become core to her life purpose in her third act. 

Tamu is the founder of Wholistic Shine and Uchū Botanical and is a kitchen alchemist, a home herbalist, a flower essence practitioner and a student of cha dao (the way of tea). Tamu is guided by a deepening relationship with and devotion to the sacred element water through daily practice, prayer and intention.

We explore:

• Hot flashes as an invitation to burn away self-defeating thoughts. 
• How Tamu honours the anniversary of her final menstrual bleed each year with a water and tea ceremony, and how sitting with tea for over 300 days in a row has supported her relationship with her partner. 
• What it has meant for Tamu to move from her earth body as a mother, to her water body during menopause, and how it has helped her to slowly and steadily create a new creative and work life, post-menopause.
