Harnessing the Power and Potency of Your Wisdom Years

By: Susan Willson

Narrated by: Samara Naeymi

Menopause as a gateway to a rich and vital elderhood

It’s time to change the way we think about menopause. While medicine and popular culture fixate on menopause as a decline of women’s bodies and minds, we can choose to honor and embrace the powerful gifts that come to us in our elder years. “Nature did not create us to unravel and diminish in the prime of our lives,” says Susan Willson. With Making Sense of Menopause, this renowned women’s health practitioner offers a powerful and practical guide to experiencing perimenopause and menopause as a natural gateway into the next vital, exciting, and meaningful phase of our lives. Join her to explore:

• How menopause literally transforms us into new women
• How the biological arc of a woman’s life unfolds toward menopause—and how our earliest experiences inform the menopause we will have
• Becoming the Wise Woman—stepping into the essential role of an elder
• Practical guidance and insights on sleep, nutrition, stress management, exercise, pleasure, relationships, and much more

Good information; unfortunate narrator

This book has some interesting information that most books on menopause lack. It suggests exercises and rituals for processing this time of life and has a psychological perspective which was meaningful but unfortunately the narration is contrived and over eager which significantly taints the effect of the material. Still worth a read if you can ignore the narrator!

Incredible insights

Amazing book for women of all ages. Very inspiring and motivating and shows aspects beyond what most people see about menopause.

The deep thoughtful questions that we can ask ourselves.

I loved how thorough it was regarding a woman’s cycle and the importance of her childhood on how menopause will be felt and accepted.
