MY TOP TIPS FOR SURVIVING MENOPAUSE

When you have a high-pressure life, work environment or situation that creates stress, this can worsen your menopause symptoms.

Which is why it's important to develop mindfulness practices to help manage stress and minimize discomfort.

Through my journey I've learned that it's absolutely okay to experience a range of emotions, such as anxiety, sadness, and even anger. You win by letting them come, sit with them and release them.

My darling friend, embrace the beautiful complexity of this natural process; breathe in the wisdom, strength, and resilience that it provides.

But above all...

Acknowledge Your Feelings - identify the emotions.

DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE...I'M NOT READY FOR THIS?!!

Watching an episode of Fresh Prince for old times sake I heard loud and clear.."my life got flipped upside down" and I felt connected to it this time.

I had heard about the frustrated lately with the physical and emotional changes that comes with menopause but sometimes when you're caring for an aging parent who has dementia...I look to the heavens and say, "I'm not ready for this"!

I remember vividly the day I realized I was entering menopause; I was standing in the kitchen and felt an intense hot flash, followed by waves of anxiety and fear.

At that moment, I knew my life was going to change. This was not uncommon, as menopause commonly begins between the ages of 45 - 55 years old. And we also have added responsabilites with caring for our aging parents.

I experienced irregular periods, chills, night sweats, and mood swings, which are all classic symptoms of menopause.

But despite these challenges, I was determined to overcome them and live life to the fullest with mother-in-law under the same roof.

It's important to understand the life changes that come with menopause which is what I will be sharing with you in my upcoming post & videos, but it's even more critical to embrace them and seek help when needed.

YOU ARE NOT YOUR MOTHER - IT'S TIME TO BREAK THE CYCLE AND CREATE YOUR PATH.

Breaking the cycle of upbringing means being open-minded about unfamiliar ideas and being willing to learn more about yourself outside of what was passed down from generation to generation.

So this week I gave myself permission to experience Float Therapy.

I've learned to take advantage of moments when I have someone sitting with my mother-in-law whose in dementia.

It felt sooo good to let go and float. So many emotions just engulfed me. At first I couldn't stop my mind from all the thoughts, the anger, the prayers, the tears and then I let go.

I let go and went inward to silence myself and just floated. Then I laughed and enjoyed my experience of floating in a large container filled with salt water, spa music and stars above.

I vowed to do this act of self care 1x a month for 1hr.

Can you imagine how long it takes to silence yourself?

It took 30 minutes for me to be quiet.

This is what my Chicago retreat is all about..giving yourself permission.

I GOT LOST SOMEWHERE IN 2022...
.. so I told myself that loving me would be without guilt, no hesitation but serving me the way I should have all along.

That means no more guilt for serving myself first. When you're married, caring for an aging parent or in a relationship, it's funny how you prepare their food first without thinking about it. Because you're taught to serve others throughout your life.

I love serving others and there is nothing wrong with that! But stop and think for a moment about where in your life you've been putting yourself last and internally suffering. Do you remember? Is it recent? Have you ever been there?

Listen doll, this doesn't mean you have a me first attitude. It simply means you're filling your cup 1st to be able to fill the cup of those whom you love.

Perhaps like me, you were taught to put others first, but when you know better you do better.

It's time to learn to love yourself deeper.. no negative conversations in your head, in your heart or outloud.

Stop it, girlfriend!

It's time to be your QUEEN and Ignite Your Inner Chic. Everyone can wait while you adjust your crown 👑.

If you're ready to break this cycle then join me in Chicago to IGNITE YOUR INNER CHIC RETREAT

See you there darling!

FRESH OR DRIED HERBS WHEN TO USE

Yesterday I had a conversation with a student in my cooking class about herbs. And this is the simple truth I let them know about herbs usage.

There are 2 types of herbs: culinary and medicinal

Culinary herbs are used to add flay-vah 😉 to food. Using fresh at the end of cooking, heat off and dried herbs during cooking to break down the flayvah.

Like most people you're probably using the leaves in food and tossing the woody stem. But the stems also have flavor so you don't always want to toss that!

Spices are a unique story in themselves. Your medicinal herbs leans towards being bitter in taste and smell and aren't used in cooking.

As a menopausal woman wouldn't it feel amazing to be able to turn the heat down just by using the right herbs plus spices culinary and medicinal 😉?!

Isn't this great news???

As a Gourmet Chef & Wellness Coach I will be sharing all about food and herbs that are medicinal + Culinary + aphrodisiacs in my upcoming Ignite Your Inner Chic Retreat Chicago May 11-15, 2023

You'll also learn how and when to use each so you'll walk away much more confident in your skin as well as your kitchen. Not to mention, being able to share your experience. This is for the savvy chic woman who loves fabulous experiences.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FEELINGS?

It's easy to get discouraged when things don't go as planned or when you make mistakes along the way.

Let this emotion come by welcoming it and let it go...release it.

Whenever this happens, be kind to yourself and remember that failure isn't permanent - it's only temporary!
