When Istra Bauza says, “This transition isn’t the end—it’s the moment you become more of you,” she captures the transformative potential of menopause. Beyond hot flashes and physical changes lies an invitation to profound self-discovery and authenticity.

In our third conversation together, Istra—now a licensed professional counselor—shares how midlife transitions often spark more than symptoms. They can trigger a radical reassessment of identity, boundaries, and what it really means to live well.

We talk openly about the physical realities—disrupted sleep, joint pain, weight shifts—while reframing menopause as a season of growth rather than loss. What if the changes you’re experiencing are actually guiding you back to your truest self?

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why menopause is more than symptoms—it’s an identity shift
• How hormonal changes invite deeper emotional and mental work
• Why self-acceptance and inner wisdom matter more than quick fixes
• The surprising freedom many women find from external validation

🎧 Whether you’re moving through this transition yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers practical wisdom and a fresh perspective on midlife.

"This transition isn’t the end—it’s the moment you become more of you." —Istra Bauza

Ever notice yourself stretching without thinking first thing in the morning, before bed, or during a midday slump? That spontaneous reach-and-sigh might be more than a reaction to stiffness.

In this “Did You Know?” episode of the Wellness Inspired Podcast, Sheri Davidson, wellness coach and acupuncturist, unpacks the fascinating biology and energetic significance of natural stretching, also known as pandiculation. From nervous system resets to liver Qi flow, discover how these involuntary movements are your body’s way of restoring rhythm and resilience.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What pandiculation is and how it resets your nervous system
• How stretching stimulates the vagus nerve and improves circulation
• The Traditional Chinese Medicine view of spontaneous movement and Qi flow
• Why these natural stretches may be releasing more than just tension

“That stretch you didn’t plan? It might be your body’s way of saying, ‘I’m here, I’m recalibrating.’ It’s not just a reflex—it’s a subtle reset, a conversation between your brain, your body, and your energy.”
