The Transformative Power of Midlife with Dr. Andrea Slominski with Dr. Andrea Slominski

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Andrea Slominski, a women's midlife coach who has dedicated her life to guiding women through life's seismic shifts, including perimenopause, midlife, and menopause. We delved into the concept of 'regency,' a unique life stage for women, the importance of community, and the potent role of archetypal psychology in navigating these changes. Dr. A's enlightening perspectives have inspired me, and I'm sure will inspire other women to view this period as a time of transformation, growth, and rediscovery.

In this episode we get curious about:

• Concept of "Regency"
• Women's transitions during perimenopause, midlife, and menopause
• Importance of community during challenging life changes
• Archetypal psychology and its role in personal understanding
• Economic power of women in midlife
• The power of narrative and storytelling
• Dr. A's online community, Women's Wisdom Village
• The significance of mythology in understanding life changes

With an insatiable curiosity and a mind that is at once intensely logical, yet wide open to all possibilities, she is a perfect fit for this quest. Which, of course, was always the Plan.
