Transition Time: Menopause!
Are feelings of self-doubt, lack of confidence or not knowing your life’s purpose crushing your spirit?
It can happen at different times for many women. You may hold yourself to unattainable standards or worse, believe all of the negative waves that beat down on you from media related to aging.
You’re too old to be doing that, dressing like that, trying that. You’re not thin enough, successful enough, sexy enough, or patient enough.
Enough already! Trust me, not everyone is as happy as they appear on social media! 😉
Times of Transition
During the transition of perimenopause and menopause, (as you approach your mid-40s when your perimenopause symptoms may start to show up (disrupted sleep, irregular menstrual cycles, mood swings, anxiety, hot flashes, etc.) there is more going on than you think.
These years are supercharged with change in everything; emotional, physical and spiritual. (Seriously, that one is an understatement!) There’s a lot going on and negative talk and self-sabotage may become worse. Most women aren’t ready or prepared to handle many of the issues associated with this time in our lives.
Well, let’s fix that!
Our Special Guest
Katrina McGhee, will inspire and motivate you no matter where you are in your journey. She is the founder of Loving on Me, a global empowerment movement that inspires and motivates women to be who they were created to be.
In her new book, “Loving on Me – Lessons learned on the journey from MESS to MESSAGE”, Katrina shares how you can break free from the status quo for good. Discover how to get more out of life than just going through the motions, and be ignited to live fully, completely and abundantly! (She even has a free 12 week video learning series included.)
Meet Katrina
Founder Katrina McGhee recognized the need to redefine herself when, in 2012, an unexpected crisis caused her to abruptly leave her dream job.
As she raced to find out what she should DO, she realized, through God’s grace, that she needed to find out who she should BE.
That led to a radical evolution in thinking – she realized that value and worth are NOT determined by the good things we do. Our value to this world comes from being the person we are created to be.
That is why she founded Loving on Me, a global movement that encourages women to love themselves more, to own their power to choose and to boldly embrace their divine assignment.
Katrina says, “For when we accept who we were created to be, our whole world explodes with possibility.”
Pretty cool, huh!
