“Menopause is not the end—it’s a rite of passage. A wild, weird, and holy season where we get to reclaim ourselves, rewrite the script, and raise a little hell (or at least raise our voices).” – Bryn Meadows
Ready for some radical truths and unfiltered education on the menopausal journey from peri to post? Then this is the #MentalHealthMonday Recovery Education session for you!
Obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Tracy Wayn, and clinical counselor, Bryn Meadows, will delve into what happens to our bodies and brains during perimenopause and postmenopause, including hormonal shifts, symptoms, and long-term health impacts. They will identify and challenge common myths, cultural taboos, and outdated medical narratives that keep menopause shrouded in shame, confusion, and silence. And, will discuss science-backed approaches to managing menopause—including hormone therapy, non-hormonal options, lifestyle interventions, and complementary therapies.
Explore how this life stage can be an invitation to reconnect with purpose, values, and boundaries in your recovery. Learn how self-compassion aids in navigating the emotional, cognitive, and identity shifts that come with menopause. Embrace a shift in narrative from decline and invisibility to empowerment and new possibility!

🚺 Explain the biological reality of menopause
🚺 Debunk myths and misinformation
🚺 Explore evidence-based treatment options
🚺 Center self-compassion as a core practice
🚺 Reframe menopause as a rite of passage
