Have you had this thought?
Hang on a minute, I've done so much for others for such a long time, when will it be my time?
My guest this week, Kirstin Bouse says, "If not now, when."
Kirstin is a Clinical (and Forensic) Psychologist with over 25 years of experience. She has always had an interest in supporting women through significant periods of transition in their lives (motherhood and menopause).
Now, having begun her own journey of perimenopause around 5 years ago, and with a few challenges along the way, Kirstin now focuses her energies on understanding, advocating and supporting women.
You will hear us talk about...
- Taking time to do a life audit - who we are, who we want to be, how we want to show up in this stage of life
- A shifting of identities and a desire to reinvest our energies
- The opportunity to bring back into our lives activities that, before adult responsibility, brought us joy and creativity and freedom
- What to do if you feel your career is no longer serving you and you crave a change
- What Kirstin believes are the gifts of menopause
- The dark place that Kirstin went to during her own perimenopause saw her feeling lost, overwhelmed and unhopeful. And how she still navigates good and bad days.
