Menopause
Menopause is not just about what is happening to your body, but also about what is happening inside your body. It is often described as a period of transition and transformation, one that not only has a profound physical impact, but also in your emotions. Remember, we are like a machine and, as a finely tuned one, every system in us is interconnected. Every internal system is influenced by this change, initiating a transformation that touches not only the body but also the emotional well-being and the sense of self. Though overwhelming, this process can also foster growth by reshaping perspectives and redefining priorities for the next step.
