This week's show is with Tania Elfersy. Tania Elfersy is the author of The Wiser Woman's Guide to Perimenopause and Menopause. She is a transformative coach, speaker and blogger, specializing in natural approaches to midlife women's health.

Tania has spent years researching what causes and what can relieve symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. She became free of her own physical and emotional symptoms through insight alone.

Tania set up The Wiser Woman project in 2015 to help women transform their experience of midlife change. Through her coaching, writing and teaching, Tania focuses on connecting women to the innate brilliance of their bodies, having seen that healing occurs with ease when we relax into the divine intelligence within.

In this conversation, Lian and Tania explored the topic of the powerful rite of passage provided by menopause and peri-menopause, what's in the way of women embracing it in that way, and the changes that Tania's witnessed in the UK in particular recently.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• Tania shared the recent changes she's seen in the UK in particular, in which menopause is being increasingly pathologised and medicated as the norm, this flies in the face of the latest research that many other countries are aligning with

• The changes the menopause brings are an important rite of passage that initiates women into the elderhood - their wise woman, we need these wise women in our communities

• I loved Tania's Medusa story, all of us have archetypes that can guide and support our embodiment and expression of what's true for us
