The Menopause Disruptor Podcast

In this episode with Kristin Wilson, we delve into a discussion about the importance of community, spirituality, and empathy during the menopausal transition.

Kristin is a the host of the Solidarity Sister! Podcast. Her podcast and corresponding Facebook group are designed to empower women with practical tools for building powerful communities and leaning in through both joy and trauma.

In our conversation Kristin touches on her personal experiences including a goal to read all scriptures before age 12, raising 8 children ranging in ages 5 to 23, coping with her husband's serious health issue during COVID, and the tragic loss of two children from her small community. Kristin knows what it's like to desperately need help and not know how to ask and to see a friend in need and not know how to show up. She is on a journey to figure this out and is inviting other women to do it alongside her.

Kristin emparts her wisdom of the scriptures and its value in providing solace and guidance through life's transitions, including menopause. Our discussion also explores how menopause can fit into a woman's broader spiritual journey, advocating for more openness and support within communities to navigate this phase with grace, understanding and more education.

Books mentioned include:

King James Version Bible,

Book of Mormon, and

The Gifts of Imperfection by Dr. Brené Brown

In Episode 14, we address the Sandwich Generation with Allison K. Wyman. As a family caregiving attorney, consultant, and coach, Allison helps caregivers reduce conflict and regret, save time and money, and sanity. A two-time cancer caregiver to her parents and current caregiver for her mom, Allison has spent nearly 20 years personally and professionally working in the caregiving space, which she considers to be among the greatest honors of her life.

She is very astute but real when she states, ‘The people we love only die once. There is no dress rehearsal. No do-over!’ Allison’s mission is for every family to enter this eternal chapter from a position of strength, and she empowers her clients with a sense of peace instead of regret after the caregiving ends.

To do so, Allison created a unique, one-of-its-kind digital course “How Your Family Wins in Caregiving” which launches in January 2024! Register here using this unique link: https://allisonkwyman.com/sales-page-5929-4857-6868-9671?am_id=mary427
