THE CALL OF MENOPAUSE:
RECONNECTION, ROOTS
AND THE SACRED PASSAGE
Somewhere along the way, we were told that
perimenopause and menopause meant the beginning
of the end — the fading out. But I see it differently.
To me, this is the beginning of a deeper becoming. A
sacred homecoming.
A return to self.
This is a time to soften, to stop pushing, and to start
nurturing.
Not in the way we’ve always done for everyone else…
but for ourselves.
MENOPAUSE
MENOPAUSE MATTERS
MATTERS
This is not your decline. This is
your divine unfolding.
Nurturing the Body — With Soul
In midlife, the body whispers — or sometimes screams — for rest. Real rest.
Not just sleep, but pause. Digest. Exhale.
This is not weakness. This is wisdom.
Nurturing now looks like slow mornings with herbal tea.
Wholesome soul food made with love.
Carving out space for quiet. And yes — a piece of good-quality dark chocolate savoured slowly
under a blanket.
The gut, the liver, the adrenals — they all need time to reset and breathe.
So let your meals feel grounding, your breath feel full, your pace feel gentle.
This is the medicine.
