Her Blood is Gold:
Awakening to the Wisdom of Menstruation
by Lara Owen

We menstruate more now than at any time in human history. Girls are starting to menstruate earlier due to protein-rich diets and hormones in food; women are less likely to die young; we have fewer children and therefore spend less time not menstruating. Increased work and family stresses, in addition to more periods, mean that women are more physically and psychologically vulnerable to negative attitudes to menstruation. So it is more important than ever that we investigate ways to make our periods physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy.

Women Who Run with the Wolves

by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

"Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to 'civilize' us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become overdomesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped."

Often it's the pure sense of surprise and delight in the colour, light, plants, buildings, and skies that grab us about our new country - the rest we think we'll figure out as we go along.

So menopause can be a big surprise on many levels - that's why we're here to help globally mobile women like you to rise and thrive through two huge transitions: moving and settling abroad and the menopause.

My expat journey has been accompanied by my ever loyal and totally laid back cat Tommie.

The sun light in my home office is what has continued to inspire me whatever challenges I'm facing.

You want to show up for yourself and for loved ones in the best way possible (even when things are challenging).

You need something that keeps you on track.

You want location-independent support just in time, right when you need it most.

Moving and living a globally mobile life is challenging right?

You deal with a new language, new climate and new culture. Sometimes it’s hard to recognise anything. Then! Just when you think you have everything sorted the menopause hits.

All the things you thought you knew are no longer quite true, the body you’ve lived with decides to change, the energy you once had takes a nose dive and fatigue sets in.

At the same time you might be kind of excited, wanting to make the most of new ambition and this stage of your life.

SERVICES

You want to up-skill and more importantly both with someone who's been through what you've been through and in a flexible way that you let's you juggle timezones, commitments and life in general.

Menopausal? Hot?
Tired? Confused?
Forgetting why you chose a global lifestyle?

Did you fall in love with that dog, that man, that beach?

Then, did what started as freedom, escape and self-discovery turn into sweat and stress?

Time flies by and now you need to know how do you figure your hot flushes out on top of the language, the taxes, the paperwork, the third culture kids, and the bureaucracy!

Freedom, spontaneity, and discovery as some point need to adapt.

Forgetting home and the job was one moment and now somehow the music has slowed down, there's a lot much to figure out including your health.

The good news is that this is when the adventure truly begins because it is a new stage for you.
