Do you tend to relate to menopause as somehow being the end? The end of enjoying sex, the end of feeling like yourself, the end of having a waist? While many of us in the western world relate to menopause as something that is far from joyful, it is entirely possible to not just survive, but thrive through the transition into our “age of wisdom”. I am joined for this conversation today by Alison Bladh, a registered nutritional therapist and beauty therapist living in the wilds of Sweden.

Having worked in the health and wellness industry for over 30 years specializing in menopausal women’s health she now runs her own online clinic helping women worldwide manage the negative symptoms of menopause. Her mission is to support her clients with bespoke changes to diet, health, and lifestyle so they can harness their hormones and get their confidence and sparkle back.

She believes that all women, no matter what age, deserve to reclaim their health and feel great. Life is too short to suffer symptoms that hold you back! Every woman has the right to feel and look amazing in midlife.

Are you waiting for something to come along or to happen so that you can finally be happy and fulfilled? Many of us spend a lifetime chasing this elusive thing called happiness and fulfillment, but struggle to find it in the things we usually look to. My conversation today with the Happiness Mentor Karyn Seitz dives deep into how we actually cultivate happiness and fulfillment in our lives, regardless of our circumstances.

As a former spiritual healer, Karyn realized her clients were not getting better. She was

frustrated that she could not deliver the results her clients wanted even though she was trying lots of different healing modalities and coaching techniques.

Karyn knew she also wasn’t getting the changes she wanted in her life. She secretly lacked any confidence in her ability to change. Her adult life had stalled.

In a fresh new search for answers, Karyn found the missing piece that would ultimately

transform her life and her clients. There is something very profound in owning that she is the

problem in her life. This awareness pushed her to confront herself and get serious about herself and her life.

Karyn is now fulfilled in her life and teaches others the same journey she has taken to find

herself and be happy.

Karyn calls herself The Happiness Mentor and teaches an online happiness course for women called Awakened Grace.

Do you struggle with starting your day/week/year with good intentions only to find yourself doing literally everything but what you intended? In other words, the whole day/week/year goes to hell in a handbasket? In this episode, I’m unpacking how to finally break the cycle of self-sabotage and a lack of motivation. As a preview, it has nothing to do with pushing harder, doing more, or faking it until you make it.

Addiction, trauma, and struggles with mental health are something a large portion of our population struggles with. The treatment options that have been available in the past also have varying results. Today I’m joined by addiction and trauma expert and outside-the-box thinker Dr. Constance Scharff for a discussion on combining western knowledge of addiction and trauma healing with somatic and indigenous healing practices.

Dr. Scharff is an award-winning, bestselling author. She has published three books. Her most recent is Rock to Recovery: Music as a Catalyst for Human Transformation, published in 2021 by Around the Way Publishing. That book won a National Indie Excellence Award, received a GOLD Award in the Nonfiction Book Awards, and an Award of Distinction in the 28th Communicator Awards. She also wrote the Amazon #1 best-selling Ending Addiction for Good and an award-winning poetry book, Meeting God at Midnight. Dr. Scharff writes regularly for several blogs and websites, including Psychology Today, where her articles have received more than one and a quarter million views. Her book reviews can be found in the New York Journal of Books.

In her role as an addiction researcher, Dr. Scharff brings the latest in evidence-based addiction treatment information to those who suffer worldwide from addiction and trauma. She has spoken at conferences and shared information with researchers and mental health professionals in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. Her goal is to eliminate the stigma that is too often associated with addiction and other mental health disorders, so that individuals in need of care will be able to receive that support and lead productive, fulfilling lives. In 2019, she received St. Lawrence University’s Sol Feinstone Humanitarian Award for her advocacy and work on behalf of those with mental health and substance abuse issues.

Do you have a tendency to rush through things in an effort to get them done and off your list? This is a trap I’ve seen myself and every single high-achieving woman I’ve worked with struggle with. We don’t have any kind of radar for what giving something 100% is, because we only know somewhere around 120%-150%. And while that’s not always a bad thing (in certain exceptional situations), I know I have a tendency to apply that kind of thinking to EVERYTHING in my life.

And as I learned the past couple of weeks, if you try to rush things like deep trauma healing and work, you blow right past the capacity of what you can handle and end up sick, injured or both so you actually slow down and listen. It’s a tale as old as time, and this week I’m unpacking my latest lesson in falling into this high achiever pattern of doing life on this week’s episode of the Selfless Syndrome Show.

I also wrote about this in our brand-new newsletter that went out today. Writing is one of my gifts that I’m tapping back into more in the form of email missives and (dare I say it) a new book!
