Menopause: Initiation into Power

Perhaps there is no more significant time in a woman's life than when she experiences menopause. Joan Borysenko, Ph.D. - author of the classic New York Times best seller Minding the Body, Mending the Mind - refers to this compelling time in the feminine life cycle as the "Guardian" stage, when women become passionate protectors of their highest values.
What are the essential steps we need to take at this crucial point in our lives? With Menopause: Initiation into Power, Joan Borysenko brings together her unique training as a medical scientist, clinical psychologist, and teacher at Harvard Medical School to examine the "mid-life metamorphosis" from our 40s to our 60s. It is at this stage when a woman's focus extends beyond family and friends into an expansive view of her place in the whole of life. It is a time when her authentic self boldly emerges.

Listeners will join Borysenko to explore:
Energy and emptying: the empowering process of letting go of friends, jobs, and even marriages that no longer serve us
Reframing hot flashes: they can provide psychospiritual opportunities
Less estrogen plus more testosterone: this can lead to heightened intuition and drive
And much moreMore than 35 million women are estimated to be in or approaching their years as Guardians, making them a significant force to be reckoned with. Now Joan Borysenko leads listeners into this influential time of life with Menopause: Initiation into Power.
