In this weeks Dissected Woman Podcast episode you are going to go deep with us- exploring what it means when a woman steps into her POWER.

Have you entered the peri-menopause or menopause cycle and have you noticed a huge positive awakening that has changed EVERYTHING for you?

Has your body been guiding you towards a new career, a more intimate relationship with yourself, are you suddenly craving deeper meaning and pivoting your business?

If so your hormones and body wisdom is guiding you forwards to the next stage of your life

The menopause is a powerful and symbolic time of spiritual transformation and there is no one better to be in conversation with than menopause expert, Petra Coveney of Menopause yoga™️.

She tells us exactly how her own peri-menopause symptoms coincided with deep grief & bereavement.  This mimicked what can be felt as a grieving process from the fertile stage of a woman’s life to a to new cycle of life.

This episode really pays tribute to this poignant and powerful time and how Petra created a global resource and network from her experiences

It is a deeply emotive episode, which educates us with fascinating information.

We discuss:

  • Holistic approach to menopause - and the recognition of a huge biopsychosocial spiritual transformation
  • Why peri/menopause is such a pivotal and necessary time to create change in the world
  • How leadership by menopausal women is exactly what the world needs for global, local and community change
