Have you ever noticed how we’re all expected to work the same way? Focus on one thing. Follow a linear path. Stick with it until you “succeed.”
I spent years feeling like I was doing something wrong because I couldn’t make myself fit that mold. I’d get excited about a project, dive in deep, then feel my energy shift to something completely different. And instead of trusting that shift, I’d beat myself up for being “unfocused” or “lacking commitment.”
Sound familiar? Then I stumbled across human design. It gave me a fascinating lens to see myself differently. I was a Manifesting Generator with wiring that craves variety and multiple channels for my energy.
Ever notice how life comes at you in phases? One minute everyone’s getting engaged, the next they’re having babies, and just when you think you’ve got this adult thing figured out, there’s a whole new transition waiting around the corner.
I’m turning 40 this year, and suddenly menopause has appeared on my radar. Not because I’m experiencing it yet, but because I’m starting to realize it’s this massive life event that nobody talks about until it’s happening. And by then, most women are completely blindsided.
It’s wild when you think about it. We get the puberty talk. We have baby showers. But menopause? Complete radio silence. Like we’re all supposed to just silently suffer through one of life’s biggest transitions because… periods are icky and aging is scary? Give me a break. Half the population goes through this, and we still can’t talk about it without whispering.
Today our guest is Tamsen Fadal. She’s a news anchor who found herself collapsed on a bathroom floor from symptoms nobody had warned her about, only to discover she was in menopause. After being left to figure it out alone, she’s now fighting to change how we handle this universal female experience.
