Menopause, Energy & the Surprising Power of Your Second Spring | Katie Brindle

**Don’t you wish we spent more time talking about whatwe gain during menopause and less time talking about what we lose?** Katie Brindle has spent more than 20 years translating ancient Chinese wisdom for modern life and in Chinese medicine, menopause isn’t simply defined by declining hormones and symptoms; it’s a transition from mother into the powerful matriarch; into what is known as our Second Spring. But why are so many of us arriving there exhausted, overwhelmed and wide awake in the middle of the night? Join Lisa for an energetic and enlightening conversation.  Leave feeling impassioned and empowered about menopause! **In this episode:** ·      Is modern life making menopause harder? Katie’s “energy bank” theory and why we may be arriving at thistransition already depleted ·      From mother to matriarch: why Chinese medicine calls menopause our Second Spring and what Katie believeswomen gain, rather than lose ·      What your middle-of-the-night wake-up could be telling you: a fresh perspective on disrupted sleep you maynot have heard before ·      The surprisingly simple - and free -  practices Katie swears by: from shaking and tapping, to daytime rest and her evening foot-soak ritual ·      But perhaps the biggest idea in this conversation is how we’ve spent so much time talking about what women lose in menopause, that we’ve barely begun talking about what might be waiting on the other side. Chinese Medicine calls it our Second Spring. By the end of this conversation you mayunderstand why.   **Resources:** Katie Brindle is a Chinese medicine practitioner, bestselling author and founder of the Hayo’u Method.  MenoPositive is the fresh new voice of modern menopause.
