Thriving Through Menopause: Embracing a New Chapter of Liberation with Angela Wilkins-Green
Manage episode 374177063 series 2929236
In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I am joined by Angela Wilkins-Green who, at the age of 42, felt her world begin to crumble when she confronted the unexpected onset of perimenopause. But what she thought was going to be the end of her life as she knew it, became the beginning of a transformative journey that uncovered her purpose.
Now, as a fully accredited ICF ACTP Personal Transformation Coach, Angela joins me to discuss how she overcame the challenges she faced and how she uses her lessons to empower her clients to embrace menopause and unlock a world of liberation and a vibrant new chapter.
Quotes
“My extent of knowing what menopause was, was that your period stopped, you’ll probably get some hot flushes, and you were probably going to be in your 50s” - 08:37
“All my doubts that I had throughout my 20’s and 30’s, perimenopause was just exacerbating.” - 10:55
“At one point I honestly thought, ‘Am I getting dementia?’ … because my brain fog - my memory function - just disappeared.” - 11:11
“When you’re trying to hold down a big corporate job, you can’t show that weakness.” - 12:52
“Our bodies are trying to help us. Lots of people think our bodies are trying to punish us… but it’s trying to help us recognise that something isn’t right and we need to do something about it.” - 18:03
“A lot of women that are doing the research for themselves might know more than their GP does.” - 19:36
