The Midlife Initiation: What No One Tells You About Menopause, Power + Awakening with Ashley Turner


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Ashley Turner, LMFT — licensed psychotherapist, psychedelic therapist, and founder of the Metamorphosis Mentorship — to explore menopause as a sacred, psycho-spiritual initiation.


Ashley shares her own journey through postpartum, perimenopause, and a Dark Night of the Soul — a season of identity loss, spiritual reckoning, and ultimately, radical rebirth.

Together, we go beyond the physical symptoms to name the deeper truth of this time: a dismantling of old identities, a reclamation of feminine power, and an awakening into embodied leadership.


Inside this conversation:


  • The truth about perimenopause, menopause + postmenopause
  • Why hormone therapy (HRT) saved Ashley’s life — and what she wants all women to know
  • Womb grief, hysterectomy trauma + healing our second chakra
  • Reclaiming feminine identity after the loss of cycle, libido, or societal “value”
  • Why unhealed wounds from our Maiden years resurface at midlife — and how to meet them with grace
  • How psychedelic therapy is transforming personal healing and intimate partnership
  • The rise of the wise woman — and why it matters now more than ever



This is for the woman in the threshold. The one who knows something deeper is calling.
