Wise Power: How Your Menstrual Cycle Prepares You For Menopause

Wild Flow with Charlotte Pointeaux

Did you know that your menstrual cycle is teaching you how to work with your inner power, ready to become a wise woman at menopause? The wise women founders of Red School, Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer have released their cutting edge book Wise Power: Discover the Liberating Power of Menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging. I'm THRILLED to have had the opportunity to chat with the authors and Menstruality leaders about how we can practice menstrual cycle awareness as a lifestyle that ultimately builds our self-trust, resilience, and capacity for presence, so that when the time comes, we can surrender, die and be reborn through the "mother of all initiations" that is Menopause.

What a power conversation this was! Whether you're through Menopause already and want to understand what the hell just happened, you're teetering on the precipice right now, or you're years away, but want to become more readied now - there is much gold in here for you.

We traversed enquiries including:

1. The definition of Menopause and why Red School works with the psycho-spiritual-emotional realms of Menstruation and Menopause, beyond just the physical symptoms we may encounter.
2. What Menstrual Cycle Awareness (MCA) is and how working with our menstrual cycle now can build our capacity to navigate Menopause.
3. How we can take permission for ourselves and invoke our inner rebels to practice conscious Menstruation in a world that doesn't support us to honour our menstrual cycles and Menopause experiences.
4. The potent gifts available to us in Menopause, as well as some of the challenges.
5. and much more besides...

I know you'll find the medicine you need for the phase of your menstrual journey in this conversation, so do listen, share your favourite insight with us here, and pass on this much needed information to sisters, mothers, daughters, friends and colleagues everywhere.
