For this episode, Toni & Lesley are joined by Stephanie Shaw a menopause educator, health & wellness speaker and host of the Hello Hot Flash podcast. She helps women navigate menopause and reduce the impact the symptoms have on their lives.

She, Toni and Lesley share some simple yet powerful tips to help you tap into the power of keeping a health journal, moving regularly, eating right and taking care of your mental and emotional health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Even now, most women do not know much about menopause. Yet, with the right advice most of the symptoms can be reduced and sometimes eliminated.

• Educating our girls and boys about menopause is important.

• Working out like crazy creates another stressor for your already over-stressed body to deal with.

• Everybody´s menopause is different. There are 100+ different symptoms.

• Keep a health journal to help you identify patterns and triggers.

• Looking after your mental and emotional health is crucial. It takes a lot of stress off your body.

• Hot flashes can be triggered when we get emotional.
• Fix your gut. Avoid processed foods.
• To avoid temptation, don´t walk every supermarket aisle. Go straight to the fresh food.
• Always have some pre-prepared healthy food in the fridge. Preparation is key.
• Use plus 1, minus 1. Choose one bad thing and stop doing that. At the same time, choose one thing that is good for you and start doing that.
• Going through menopause is not easy, but many women find that they emerge from it with healthier habits and feeling far more in tune with who they are.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you are eating about 90% right you´ll be good. ’

‘We call it the fundies, the fundamentals – eat, move, sleep. ’

‘Taking care of yourself mind body and soul is super important. ’

Toni & Lesley are joined by V Chamberlin-Kidd a core shamanic practitioner who also taps into the power of plant medicine by using essential oils. In this episode, she talks about her work, family life, her recent ADHD diagnosis, and her autism.

V explains what a shamanic practitioner does, how it reconnects us with nature, feeds our soul and enables us to become an active part of the globe´s vast ecosystem once again.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Centuries ago, people from different totally unconnected cultures independently developed shamanic practices and healing knowledge that were very similar. It is this ancient universal wisdom that modern shamanic practitioners use.

• We have become detached from nature. Truly reconnecting with it feeds the soul.

• As we go through life we lose bits of our soul. You can get these back.

• Communication is particularly difficult with ADHD.

• If you find something annoys you, work out why.

• Neurodiverse people´s nervous systems are dysregulated which makes them highly strung.

• Accept yourself, admit your mistake and forgive yourself.
• You can learn the things you struggle with; often you just need to be taught it differently.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can lose bits of yourself (your soul) … especially as children when you´re put in a position you can´t cope with.’

‘No brains the same, it´s like a fingerprint.’

‘A lot of us are running on half batteries. ’
