A lot of the messages we receive about menopause are negative and most of them aren’t even true. If you feel like society puts you in a box as a woman in midlife, you’re not alone. You and I both know that not every 40-year-old woman fits in the same box. We’re all having unique experiences that come with unique needs, so how do we meet those needs in a world that treats us like we’re all the same?


In this episode of Midlife Rise + Thrive, special guest Susana Puelles and I are talking about everything society gets wrong about perimenopause and menopause and what you can really expect from this time in your life. We’re long overdue for some re-education, so why not take matters into our own hands?


Susana Puelles, L.Ac. is a holistic hormone and fertility specialist who has been helping women live in hormonal harmony for over a decade. 


Topics covered in this episode include:

• Reeducating ourselves about what’s normal in menopause 
• How toxins affect your hormones 
• Things to look forward to in midlife 

Menopause doesn’t have to be something you dread! If you have fears about menopause and midlife, this episode will help.
