In this conversation with Havva Mahler, a Chinese Medicine practitioner and Intentional Health and Wellness Coach, we discuss different cultural understandings of perimenopause and menopause and explore ways to ease suffering and cultivate joy in and beyond midlife.


This podcast includes:

  • The power of becoming aware of our cultural conditioning so we can move beyond it.
  • What Bree is taking on her solo retreat in the jungle. (a yoga mat, a journal, and a book)
  • Why we hurt.  Why we suffer.  And what to do with that information.
  • How Western culture has normalized "suffering"
  • Why your emotions are always valid
  • The Chinese medicine perspective on the "gifts" of growing older
  • How to cultivate joy and find greater ease
