Pass it along to folks you know who could use this message right now :)

🤔To HRT or not HRT?
🤔 Why am I experiencing so much brain fog?
🤔 Is there a link between menopause and dementia?
These question and so much more will be answered, inside of The Menopause Summit.
I'm stoked to be talking about all things burnout and why we see an uptick during the peri menopause years.

Hope to see you on the inside.

My head hurt so bad, that the Dr. told me to go and lie down in a room in the back of the office.
I was there for 4 hours in the darkness before I could even contemplate getting up to go home.
For 3 days, all I could do was stay in a dark room.
Even putting my head down hurt.
I remember thinking at the time, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy .

I was in my 20s and it was the first and only migraine I've had, until a couple of years ago.
It was half way through dinner that it started....
A headache and pressure so bad that I knew.
Sh*t.
I've got a migraine🙈
It lasted a few days. Same as before. ..and then it went away.
It didn't come back again until 28 days later ⏰
Same thing.
The third time it happened, I knew it had to be cyclical.
Somehow, something was up with my hormones and it was contributing to migraines.
I went straight to my naturopath and shared with her what was happening.
Two supplements and a tincture later, the migraines were gone, never to return (at least so far).
I'm grateful that I had the awareness to recognize that it was cyclical. ..and I'm especially grateful that I was able to work with an expert to find a solution quickly.
Hormone fluctuations in peri/menopause are NORMAL.
Yet, these fluctuations can bring on a myriad of symptoms that go far beyond hot flashes. 🔥🔥🔥
We're living in a time where there is extraordinary research happening in the field of women's health and peri/menoupause.
Empowering ourselves with a deep understanding of what's happening in this season of life is paramount to thriving and navigating these changes with more ease.
That's why I am beyond excited to be participating in the 2023 Menopuase Summit with host Jacqueline Gray Rose.

"This interview is what I needed to listen to many years ago."
Years ago, my friend and colleague Kendall Jones was working incredibly hard. Today she's still driven, but things are very different.
At that time, she was working for a company that used up every single piece of her mental energy and time. She was focused and giving so much to her career and earning potential that she was neglecting her internal signs.
It resulted in a stress induced illness. Then she fixed it, but the cycle remained.

She was very ambitious. She would work hard and give everything she had to my career and others, and internally, she would be left with zero. She was under years of chronic stress. In her mind, there was a marriage between success and burn out.
At the time, she had never met a woman that she thought was extremely successful that wasn’t busy and stressed.
I sat down with Kendall recently to record a podcast interview on preventing burnout and unlocking the stress cycle. When we were finished, she shared,
"This interview is what I needed to listen to many years ago."

Today, Kendall works with ambitions, driven women to provide exceptional Business and Personal Finance Coaching, specialized in developing strategic plans designed to relieve anxiety, stress, and untangle financial complexity...without the burnout!

🤘🏾👏 The feeling you have, when one of your clients, who is only half way through the Bend and Flex program says...⁠⁠
"I have less pain in my neck than I've had in 30 YEARS and I've had more weeks in a row of no pain then I can remember in a long time. On top of that, I can perform more reps in my cross fit works out than ever before, so much so that others around me can't keep up"⁠⁠
✅ All of this without doing any manual therapy, no needling and no hands on treatment, just focusing on clearing up the mindset blocks that were preventing healing and retraining the head to toe movement and mobility to allow the body to heal itself and function optimally. ⁠⁠
If you've been struggling with pain that just doesn't seem to be getting better, no matter what you do, the bend and flex program might be the missing link for you. ⁠⁠
DM me for more info. I'd love to help you have this same result!

Woot Woot!
