Feel better Fast!

Feeling ‘tip top’ all the time is not normal, let's be honest. Most of us will experience fluctuations in our mood on a daily basis. Think of the emotions like a ladder, there will be events throughout our day, week, or month that might cause us to take a step down or up. We cannot expect to always be perching at the top. The trick is to be able to spot when we are riding a bit low for a bit long and have a supply of strategies to boost our mood and buck the trend.

This episode I am chatting with Members of the Menopause Collective to explore ideas and suggestions that can really lift your spirits. Join us for this fun conversation for some top tips that can help quickly and don’t break the bank.

Trauma and Menopause; What's the connection

Join me as I chat with Melody Murray; Licensed Therapist and author of the book "Mourning The Living - When the loved one you've lost is still alive".

We chat about how trauma and adverse childhood events affect us as adults and how they can impact our hormonal journey to Menopause.

Trauma can lead us to experience negative thought patterns, disrupted sleep, disproportionate behavioural reactions, anxiety and depression.

STOP dismissing your own needs, take back control and figure out your own magic formula to live at your top level.

LEARN how to 'bookend' difficult situations with clear communication, boundary setting and self care strategies to deal with a challenging event or encounter.

Perhaps you are avoiding the things that could be so good for you. Avoidance is our self preservation programme when faced with life threatening situations. But leaning into our discomfort might just help us to move nearer to a resolution.

If you have checked out of your body, movement can really be the means to reconnect, learn to love and care for ourselves again or for the first time.

I hope you enjoy this conversation, please share it with a loved one and spread the message that you can heal yourselves. You might just need a little help. 😀

My sincere thanks to Melody Murray Licensed Therapist
