We talked about what it really looks like to come home to yourself as a woman, especially through perimenopause and menopause—not just through protocols or checklists, but through self-trust, nervous system healing, and unlearning all the ways we’ve been trained to abandon ourselves.In this episode, we explore:•Why menopause can be a portal to your most grounded, powerful self•The hormonal hierarchy that governs your body—and how stress affects everything•What happens to the female brain post-menopause (and why it can feel like freedom)•How to stop outsourcing your worth and start honoring your true pace•Mindy’s journey of learning to be alone, heal her inner child, and reclaim her peaceThe anchor tools that helped her regulate her nervous system and reconnect with herself•Why rhythm (not productivity) is the key to female vitalityThis conversation isn’t just about hormones. It’s about becoming the woman you were always meant to be.Resources:•Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz: https://amzn.to/3JuAMW8•Dr. Mindy’s Website:https://drmindypelz.comFollow Dr. Mindy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz
