EP 36 The deeper meaning of midlife, menopause the the seasons of life

The midlife crisis is one of the most poorly misunderstood transitions and no surprises that menopause is too. In this episode I talk about the deeper meaning of both and go into explaining the challenges of all the rites of passage we have.

I talk about:

  • What the developmental challenge of the individual rites of passage are,

  • What happens when you don’t address that

  • How you have to look at menopause through multiple lenses; biological, psychological, social and cultural and how these impact on each person,

  • That every individual’s menopause transition is unique and it is an invitation into preparing yourself to transition to your second half of life.

  • How midlife is transition into 2nd adulthood and what that means,

  • Elderhood and the role of elders in society,

  • How grief plays out in all of our transitions.

At the end of the podcast I refer to my INNER SEASONS content. If you click on the link you can get through to that are you will be able to download a copy of it for yourself.
