We hear the advice so often: Get out of your head and into your body. Listen to your body. Trust your body. But what do those things actually mean, and how do you achieve them—especially if you're a woman in the throes of perimenopause or menopause?
My guest on this episode of the More Beautiful Podcast is the lovely and inspiring Gabriella Espinosa, the founder of Women’s Body Wisdom, an online coaching and movement platform that empowers women to own their pleasure, power and purpose in midlife. Gabriella works with clients to help them feel more at home in their skin, as well as deal with issues such as lackluster energy, anxiety and decreased libido. She also assists people in healing old emotional wounds and trauma—which often surface during midlife. Among the many valuable takeaways you'll get from my candid conversation with Gabriella:
- What happens to your body when progesterone and estrogen start to decline—not just the "bad" symptoms, but the powerful and positive stuff? And why are we so hesitant to discuss sexual problems with one another?
- Why you may be feeling a sense of disconnect from your body and/or losing trust in it, especially if you're in perimenopause and menopause and beyond. And why that lost connection shouldn't be ignored
- How to reignite your spark for life, rediscover what brings you joy and lights you up
- Tips for tuning into your body, reawakening your senses and reprioritizing pleasure
- Why feelings of grief commonly show up in midlife and how you can move on from mourning to embrace an even better version of yourself
- How to access your body's inner wisdom, realize the abundant gifts you have to offer, and change how you show up in the world
- Strategies to quash those limiting self-beliefs, boost your confidence and approach your body from a place of abundance vs. lacking
