Menopause – the change of life, midlife crisis, the point of no return.
What are some of the other terms you have heard?
Here’s some slang words: menopostal, mental pause, men-o-pause.
Funny?
Here’s a special definition from the urban dictionary: “A special time in a woman’s life when they can’t have babies anymore. They get hormonal, mean, rude, short-tempered, angry, and awkward. Bad time for teenagers to live with their moms.”
Wow, no wonder this is a such a dreaded time in most women’s lives.
Big thanks to Dr. Anna Cabeca, who introduced me to the idea of the Second Spring during the Menopause Relief Summit.
Dr. Cabeca shared from her international studies, that the Japanese have very little or minimal PMS or peri-menopausal symptoms.
They use a word for the time of no more periods, that past reproductive time or menopause, called “konenki” – which means second spring.
What would it be like to breeze through menopause into our second spring?
I’m in, my friends. I’m owning it.
This is my second spring.
