Have you ever wondered where all the information is for women navigating the huge life transition that is menopause?

As women we’re fully prepped in our younger years for the onset of puberty and the arrival of our menstrual cycles, but there’s little to no societal preparation for menopause, leaving women in the dark about the unsettling physical symptoms it brings and with no solution to alleviate them.

In this episode my guest, holistic women’s health expert, Whitney Erwin shares how to embrace rather than fear this big life change and how preparing for menopause ahead of time can reduce its negative impact and ease the transition.

Episode highlights:

  • A breakdown of what to expect and a definition of exactly what perimenopause is
  • Understanding the difference between perimenopause and menopause
  • How Ayurveda works, what it is and how Whitney uses it to help her clients
  • Reframing menopause from a transition to dread to a rite of passage
  • What happens to your body during menopause
  • The role nutrition plays in exacerbating unwanted symptoms
  • How to prepare for menopause ahead of time
  • Using Ayurveda to boost your self-confidence
  • Ayurvedic self-care practices you can do at home, including Abhyanga (self-massage)
  • The importance of a morning self-care routine to set yourself up for a good day

It’s crucial to have more conversations around women’s health and what to expect physically and emotionally during menopause, so I hope this conversation has given you some tools that will help.

Lemons and Pineapples - Episode 4: 10 Tips to Improve your Communication Skills
play

11/15/24 • 24 min

Send us a text

It's EPISODE 100 of the PODCAST!!!!
This week's episode is all about improving your communication skills.
Do you struggle to get your point across? Are you constantly experiencing some sort of friction with people in your life or work? Maybe you wish people would listen to you more?
I hear you!
The good news is that effective communication is a skill, it's one you can learn and once you master it, it'll change the way you interact with everyone in your life. Learning to communicate with patience and kindness has been a journey for me and in this episode I share the strategies I've implemented to vastly improve my relationships AND get my needs met in the process.
Episode highlights:

  • Listening to understand, not simply to respond
  • How learning to really hear what someone is saying will deepen your connection
  • Being mindful of non-verbal cues and what body language reveals
  • The enormous value of using "I" statements when communicating your feelings and needs
  • How and why to ask open-ended questions
  • The art of patience in conversations
  • How to stay present in the moment when you're talking to someone
  • Why being direct is important
  • Reflecting back what you've heard to ensure you've understood what's been said
  • The art of coherent communication

Mis-communications and missed communication comes up frequently in my client coaching sessions. We often interpret what someone has said to us through the lens of our own perceptions and world view which can cause confusion. I help my clients to communicate clearly and calmly when they are both speaking and listening.
Clear, compassionate and kind communication is a skill I love helping my clients develop and it's a game changer, so if this is something I can assist you with, please pop me an email to find out more - [email protected]
AND if you're curious about how coaching could help you improve your life in general, feel free to apply for one of five FREE 60 minute sessions I'm offering this week here
