106 How to embrace your second spring with Kate Codrington

Kate Codrington is the author of Second Spring: the self-care guide to menopause, which is a rather lovely and revolutionary new book. She’s a menstrual and menopause mentor, speaker, workshop facilitator, writer, podcaster and a therapist for nearly 30 years. She’s passionate about bringing a more holistic approach to the menopause transition and to enabling women to embrace fully this powerful stage of life. We talk about: - Where Kate is in her menopause journey - How the book is very different to other books on menopause - How Kate sees menopause as something very positive - How cyclicality is core to the book and how this impacts women throughout life - The earthiness of the book and the power that comes from that - Yoga Nidra and its role in the book and in our menopause transition - The importance of going inward in menopause - Embracing the change rather than fighting it - Menopause as a spiritual journey - Things that annoy us both about the prevailing menopause narratives - What Kate learnt from her own menopause transition And more!   If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share it and leave us a 5* review on iTunes or wherever you’re listening.
