I've learned that following what you love
magnifies your talent. You just have to
have the faith to invest in it.
-- Leslie Rector
My expertise comes from 4 main sources:
- my personal experiences through the menopausal journey and midlife;
- my training in many healing modalities;
- my passionate belief that simple spiritual practices and wellness habits can turn menopause and midlife into a blooming new springtime for ANY woman;
- and my compassionate commitment to share all that I have learned with YOU!
The beginning of my story probably
sounds a lot like yours…
When I was a young woman in my 20s and 30s, I wanted to find my place in the world, and so I worked hard to make money and gain status. I spent a lot of my time attempting to meet the expectations of others. I modeled my appearance and behavior on the latest trends. But when I turned 40, even though I had achieved much of what I wanted, I found myself feeling a mixture of dissatisfaction and fear, a panicky sense that something was missing, that it was time make changes.
Although I didn’t know it, this was my inner wisdom awakening. It was telling me that I had been looking for myself in the wrong place—outside instead of inside. I didn't know what to do with these stirrings, so instead I indulged in rebellious behavior—what we usually call “midlife crisis”. Though this was not very healthy, it was an important expression of the frustration I felt. I eventually began to repeat a prayer that went something like this: "Whoever is in charge up there, show me the way."
Then my turning point…
My prayer was answered, when at 45, I found my spiritual teacher, Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. Through her teachings, she helped me reconnect with a sense of being mothered—not by her, but by Spirit and by myself. I began to feel myself loved and cared for. I began to see my own beauty and value, regardless of my age.
Once I felt this powerful sense of being valued and connected to the all-pervading Source, I was able to look inside myself and authentically decide what I wanted to create with my life. I began to make choices in my career and relationships that were based on my personal passions, not on a need to fit in or find approval. And those choices, because they are authentically from me, are deeply satisfying.
How I celebrated my 60th birthday |
Today…
I am now in my 60’s and I am more empowered, inspired, and excited about life than I ever thought I could be. I am in a wonderful, supportive relationship. I have developed the practical skills I need to support my dreams—such as restructuring my finances and studying the principles of abundance in order to create prosperity. I also have a deep understanding of the spiritual principles that have supported me to create this amazing second half of my life and a commitment to continue growing and exploring. |
