Lisa Boate provided a walkthrough of her menopausal journey and how it allowed her choose to put her needs first and walk away from an extensive career as an educator.

On average, 1 in 10 women leaving the workplace due to the lack of support. What woud you say is or was needed in your workplace that could've made you feel supported?

We need to pump up the volume so silent suffering is no longer optional. It is OUR job to normalize midlife & menopause by giving voice to the voiceless, create a safe space and each one, reach, period.

What did you call your treasure chest? 

We have to consider the quality of life you're sacrificing when you don't rediscover your dormant dreams, reconnect to your innermost desires that keep calling out to you, grabbing your attention and reignite your drive to live your best life by your own design just by tuning in to your body's wisdom.

The Body Keeps Score was such a life awakening journey for me and a staple in my personal library. 

 Are you a best selling author but haven't written a book as yet. You told yourself so many stories and chapter after chapter you have begun to take that nonfiction category and need to instead place it in its correct section; fiction.

Many life experiences remove you away from yourself but intentionally move into it, and as Lisa pointed out, create an anchor for yourself. Work through the emotions and bridge the gap from numbness to feeling all the feels because you create capacity for what you want. 

Lisa has created a magical mini-course with her colleague and it offers an embodied experience, no self-judgment, more compassion and true reconciliation. 

Scan your body, what needs your attention? Where do you feel the sensations in your body? 

One step at a time. Slow down, listen to yourself & your body. Create a regimen that serves ALL of you. Trust yourself. Get moving, even trying the resistant training that Lisa talked about. 

It's truly powerful permission to end the silent suffering. Repeat after me, no more silent suffering! One more time, no more silent suffering!
