I think about all of the identities that I’ve immersed myself in. I think about when I felt like I was losing my identity when I started my perimenopausal journey. Through perimenopause and through my transition into entrepreneurship, there were times when I felt like I was in an identity crisis….

When people think of Menopause, they automatically think Hot Flashes! But, as I've said before, menopause is so much more than hot flashes.  The impact of the menopausal transition on mental health is significant.  Over 50% of people going through menopause experience neuropsychiatric conditions like depression and insomnia.   Many talk about changing our diet and exercise routine to manage many of the menopausal symptoms. But, diet and exercise is really not enough. As we are experiencing "the change" we need to lean into changing our mind through this journey. In this episode,  learn why you need more than just diet and exercise to change the trajectory of your menopausal transition while you’re trying to build a business.  And to go deeper and learn specific mindset shifts you need to have to cultivate confidence in managing your menopausal symptoms/midlife challenges as well as confidence in building a business in these midlife streets, register for my FREE Virtual Masterclass, Menopause to Mogul: Harness Your Energy for Business Success on Wednesday, August 28th, 2024 at 6 pm est!!

There is research out there looking at the effects of music on menopausal symptoms. In addition to yoga and acupuncture, music intervention can actually be beneficial to dampening the symptoms of menopause. But, I wanted to look at music from a different perspective. What kind of music are you listening to these days? Are you listening to music that speaks to the prior version of you or are you listening to music that elevates you to the woman you are becoming? But before we get into the music, let's think about the active word here...listening. Are you listening to your body? Are you listening to what your heart wants in this season of your life? Are you listening to God or whatever higher power that is your guide as you evolve? In this episode, I discuss 3 songs that represent where I am in life right now and how I've settled into a place of acceptance as I continue to evolve. Tune in!!

Here's an unpopular belief....Perimenopause is the disruption that you need right now especially if you want to build a business in these midlife streets. But, there's also hormone disruptors and midlife interrupters that we have to learn to navigate to get to our NEXT level and live our BEST life. Hormone Disruptors, also known as Endocrine Disruptors, are detrimental to women's health.  And unfortunately, they are hard to avoid because we can encounter these hormone disruptors in our diet, the water we drink, the personal care products we use on our skin, and the products that we use that can contaminate the air that we breathe. In this episode, I discuss: *Hormone disruptors and how to minimize your exposure *Perimenopause is actually a benefit in your midlife journey *How to respond to disruption and to the midlife interrupters so you can build the business of your dreams. Tune in!!

Let's dive into the fascinating topic of the  menopause brain as I share my takeaways after reading the book, "The Menopause Brain" by Dr. Lisa Mosconi.  During the menopausal transition, our brains naturally undergo a process of pruning, getting rid of neurons that are no longer necessary while refining other connections. This transformation is not only essential for cognitive function but also serves as a powerful metaphor for personal and professional growth.  In this episode, I discuss how this mirrors the journey of building the business of your dreams during these midlife years.... Cognitive Changes in Menopause: Understand how hormonal shifts impact brain health and why "menopause brain" can actually be a time of renewal and refinement.Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs: Learn why it's crucial to prune away thoughts, habits, and beliefs that no longer serve you to make room for new opportunities and growth.Thriving Through Menopause: Discover strategies to navigate this transition with a positive mindset, turning challenges into stepping stones for success.Tune in!! #Menopausebrain #Cognitivechangesinmenopause #PrioritizeYOU #Caregivers #SelfAdvocacy #MenopauseMoguls #Changeyourresponse #Aging #Perimenopause #BusinessEmpowerment  #OvercomingChallenges #WomenEmpowerment  #blackwomeninbusiness #businesscoaching #entrepreneurship #womenentrepreneurs #midlifeblackwomen #over40women #over50women #LongCOVID If you are a high-achieving Black Momma 40 and over who is striving for the freedom to be who you are and the woman you are becoming to follow your dreams of being an entrepreneur and create your LEGACY then subscribe to my email list to get on the waitlist for the next cohort of Menopause Moguls™ group coaching program!!

Millions of women are entering the menopausal transition with fear due to the lack of guidance, education and support. There is also a lack of women's health research and training for health care professionals to assist women in navigating this big transition in their lives.  These are the realities and Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester along with Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger sought to start addressing them by creating We're Addressing the Realities of Menopause (WARM) Act of 2023. In this episode, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester shares her personal story with perimenopause and how she created the WARM Act, a bipartisan bill, to provide women the resources and guidance that she didn't have during her perimenopause journey.

"What is your 90 year old self gonna say about you?" When many of us enter the menopausal transition, we can spend a lot of time thinking about the woman we used to be...what she used to look like, what she used to act like, and what she used to like or want.

I used to be the one in the family that remembers EVERYTHING... But, I ain't her anymore! I experienced brain fog in my perimenopause journey....difficulty concentrating on tasks at work...memory lapses. And it actually got better over time.  Don't ask me how long it lasted because I don't remember. LOL But, I've experienced it again in my Long Covid journey. Amidst the fog, I've gained clarity of what I still need as I navigate through challenges. And simply have used it as an opportunity to check-in with myself and continue to take steps toward my dreams. Many of know that brain fog is REAL but I also know many of us have concerns about developing dementia as we age. In the US, there are roughly 6 million adults 65 and over who have Alzheimer's disease and almost two thirds of them are women.  There is ongoing research to explore how menopause affects women's brain health and distinguish the differences between brain fog and dementia. In this episode, I discuss how you can use brain fog to your advantage but also delve into the differences between brain fog and dementia given the recent diagnosis of Wendy Williams. Tune in!!

The Black woman's experience of Peri/Menopause can be different.   There are studies that show Black women can enter menopause 8.5 months earlier, have more intense symptoms, and have a longer transition into menopause compared to white women.  The SWAN (Study of Women's Health Across the Nation) study that began in 1994 has revealed the racial discrepancies in menopause.  Unfortunately, there are many doctors who are unaware of these discrepancies which can lead to detrimental long term health consequences for Black women. In this episode, I discuss those discrepancies and discuss my most recent experience of "driving while black" as another example of how black women's experience of menopause can be negatively impacted by various interactions on a daily basis. Tune in to hear how you can be proactive in your menopause experience to avoid long term consequences when it comes to your health in these midlife years.

You don't need more Self-Discipline when it comes to navigating Menopause and building a business...you need more Self-Love instead. The root cause of perimenopause is definitely fluctuating hormones. These are fluctuations we cannot control, but we must realize that the symptoms are exacerbated by how we’re living on a daily basis…and how we love ourselves on a daily basis.  And when we're able to regulate our symptoms by changing our response, we can boost our self-image and our confidence in these midlife streets. In this episode, I delve into why we need all 5 Love Languages when it comes to navigating the menopausal transition and entering entrepreneurship with confidence.

HAPPY BELATED VALENTINE'S DAY! I hope you took some time to show YOURSELF some LOVE.  You can start by tuning into this episode where we dive into seduction.

The cost of menopause is mind-boggling.  There are studies that show the annual cost of lost work days is $1.8 billion and that nearly $25 billion in medical costs are due to disruptive menopausal symptoms like vasomotor symptoms.

In this episode, I invite you to think of the symptoms or the challenges of perimenopause and menopause differently.  They actually increase our value and menopause is not a discount but a markup for our businesses and lives.

My recent trip to get my mammogram just reminded me of how uncertainty can be crippling. When we enter the menopausal transition, there is so much uncertainty. When we enter entrepreneurship, there is so much uncertainty. Over the years, I've realized that uncertainty is part of life's journey and I'm learning to embrace it...because when I didn't embrace it, it kept in stuck in overwhelm. In this episode, I discuss how to respond to uncertainty differently so we can do all the things we are being called to do without feeling stuck. Tune in and let me know what you think!

Menopause requires a response, not a reaction. When I would have brain fog or wake up soaked from night sweats, my reaction was frustration and anger. When I didn't get the results I wanted when building my business, my reaction was frustration or I would beat myself up for not getting the result. I eventually learned that these reactions were not allowing me to operate to my full potential.  So, instead of reacting, I started to respond. Most recently, I had A LOT of things going on externally that could of easily took me off track when preparing for my Midlife Business Mastery Challenge.  But, instead of reacting, I responded differently.  In this episode, I discuss how changing my response to my circumstances helped me show up powerfully in this Challenge and serve the women who participated in the challenge. Changing our response to midlife changes, challenges and circumstances can help us show up powerfully in the world...even as we are building businesses. But, I know it is not easy and requires guidance, support, and community of like-minded women...which is why I created the Menopause Moguls™ online group coaching program.

If you had to choose between your steady paycheck and your health, which would you choose? This decision may be easy for some but for others who feel the pressure of maintaining a household and the need to "push through" in a high-powered career, the decision can be quite difficult. Dr. Michel talks about why this wasn't an easy decision for her but when she decided to ultimately choose her health, it has allowed her to do awesome things in her career and live her BEST life! Tune in to hear her story! Let me tell you more about her: Dr. Suleika Just-Buddy Michel is a board-certified Obstetrician Gynecologist with over 23 years of medical and leadership experience. Over this period , she has delivered more than 4,000 babies and managed countless gynecological concerns. As the first African-American partner in her former OBGYN practice, she is a well- respected advocate of minimally invasive surgery and is one of the select few trained DaVinci robotic surgeons. When she realized that many Christian elementary and middle schools had no formal health education for students, she decided to create WiseTeenz, a faith-based health curriculum specifically for preteen and teen girls in 5th through 12th grades. She is a best selling author of the faith-based book, WiseTeenz, which enlightens, empowers and educates teen girls with information about their temples. Dr. Michel is also committed to decreasing health disparities for communities of color which led her to co-found the Mocha OBGYN Alliance (MOGA). This non-profit organization provides national and global access to culturally competent OBGYNs, serving as a conduit for the reduction of maternal mortality and negative health experiences contributing to poor patient outcomes experienced by women of color. Also, as Co-President of the Maryland Patient Safety Center Maternal Health Equity Project, Dr. Michel uses her expertise to reduce Black maternal health disparities specifically in the state of Maryland. Raised in Philadelphia, Dr. Michel received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and returned to Philadelphia where she obtained her Medical Degree from Hahnemann University School of Medicine. Dr. Michel completed her residency training in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. She is a Fellow of the American College of OBGYN, and the American College of Surgeons. Her strong Christian faith has taken her abroad to Haiti and Kenya to share her medical skills performing missionary work.  Dr. Michel has been married for 26 years.

I realized that I had been "worshiping" my symptoms and challenges, which kept me stuck in a victim mindset.  When I shifted my focus toward self-love, gratitude, and spiritual connection as forms of worship, I was able to regain energy, work on my business, and embrace the role of a victor rather than a victim. In this episode, I discuss the transformative impact that shifting my focus from pain and circumstances to a higher power has had on my journey through perimenopause, entrepreneurship, and my battle with TEMPORARY long COVID. #MenopauseMoguls #BusinessEmpowerment #SoulCare #SpiritualJourney #OvercomingChallenges #WomenEmpowerment  #blackwomeninbusiness #businesscoaching #entrepreneurship #womenentrepreneurs #midlifeblackwomen #over40women #over50women Please Leave a 5-star Review  & Share!!

While menopause traditionally signals the end of a woman's reproductive years, I submit to you that it is also the commencement of one's most productive phase. In this episode, I uncover the parallels between birthing a business and birthing a child and discuss the need to be delivered from self-doubt, perfectionism, procrastination, and the fear of failure to achieve personal and professional success. Even in midlife, there's potential for rebirth and the delivery of new ventures, whether it's a business, a book, or any other dream. After listening, I hope you feel empowered to overcome the barriers that hold you back from delivering your unique gifts to the world. Listen in!

Hey Hey! I know it's been a minute but I'm back! In this episode, I delve into my personal struggles with long COVID and how I am coping with new symptoms of perimenopause. I discuss the importance of recognizing and giving oneself permission to grieve the losses that come with these life changes and the significance of responding to changes and challenges with self-compassion and love rather than fear or doubt. I am reminded that our journey through menopause and entrepreneurship is not just about us but also about the impact we can have on others. Legacy is about passing on knowledge, value, and positive changes to future generations, whether it's within our families, communities, or the world at large. Listen in!

Building a business is a BIG thing. The thought of building a business is a BIG thing especially if transitioning into menopause or experiencing midlife changes. The thought of then launching a business is a BIG thing. So how do we think BIG and do BIG things if we are conditioned to shrink ourselves?

Starting a Business Requires You to be “Weak” sounds crazy, right? Starting your own business requires you to be vulnerable. Even admitting that you are entering the menopausal transition requires you to be vulnerable. In this episode, I discuss how starting a business can require us to take our superwoman cape off and....      -Accept what we don’t know,      -Accept that we don’t always have our shit together and release the pressure of perfection,      -Accept help, and      -Activate our Faith in God....surrender it all to Him.

When you start building a business,  other business coaches tell you to start serving your people NOW....get on social media...put the service you're offering on blast on all social medial platforms....do your market research. I say, if you start with serving Them, this will lead you to overwhelm and subsequent burnout before your business even is up and running. And when you are also so conditioned to serve the other "them"-your family, friends, colleagues, clients in your 9-5, this will make the development of your business difficult.

My daughter built a business and unfortunately it was shut down in 2 days! But her reaction through it all did not involve mind-drama like I had when I first started building my business.

It takes a village to raise a child is an African proverb that means an entire community of people must interact with children for those children to grow in a safe and healthy environment.

My panic attack while getting a MRI of my brain reminded me to stop rehearsing tragedy in my life.

In this episode, I share how I continue to learn to change my mindset and perspective when stepping toward goals that are scary to me when it comes to my health, business and overall well-being.

I am a recovering control freak, but I still slip back into wanting to control the outcome of everything I do, especially in my business. I wanted to control what was happening to my body…the hormonal changes. Many of us have a need to be in control which is understandable, we want to be in control of our lives at all times.  And we know there are things that are beyond our control but we still work hard to stay in control of everything because it makes life easier. I wanted to start building my business but needed to be in control of the success and avoid failure…so I attended multiple webinars, googled business plans, watched YouTube videos, listened to multiple podcasts because I wanted to get ALL of the information I needed to do things perfectly because I didn’t want to fail. I found myself consuming all this information but not taking actual moves to build my business.

Black women are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs....but at what cost. Black women are biologically aging faster than white women. Women of color tend to enter perimenopause and menopause at earlier ages than their white peers, have longer transition periods, and experience more intense hot flashes and vaginal symptoms.

Menopausal Transition can affect all the relationships in your life...the relationship you have with your husband or significant other, your children, other loved ones, your friends, your colleagues at work, your clients or patients. It affects how you show up in the world and in these relationships. In this episode, I discuss the importance of starting with a foundation that is built upon you valuing YOU as you start building a business while navigating through midlife changes. And this starts with the relationship you have with YOU. I discuss a prior conversation with one of my clients and how changing the relationship with herself changed the trajectory of the relationship she had with her husband which then propelled her forward into making decisions to start building her business then launching it on a solid foundation. "I realized what I knew or didn't know was holding me back in terms of home life. I was then able to address those things. I was then able to speak to some of those things. It was a turning point for me and my husband and our ability to communicate and hear each other." -Dr. Laryssa Tune in to hear more!

I reached out to a friend and asked how she was doing…she responded “I’m surviving.” I reached out to another friend and asked the same thing…she responded “I’m maintaining.” This bothered me because I don't want us to "just survive" out here in these midlife streets, I want us to THRIVE. We are all capable to survive but do we have the capacity to thrive? My kids asked me to be one of the Aftercare teachers at school. My response: "I don’t have the capacity to do it." In my journey through perimenopause and entrepreneurship, I realized that there’s different levels of our capacity….      -Physical capacity      -Emotional capacity      -Intellectual capacity      -Time capacity I coach my clients on how to optimize their capacities so they can navigate through their midlife transition with ease and launch their business with boldness. In this episode, I discuss these levels of capacity and how we should strive to ultimately optimize our Spiritual Capacity.

I remember thinking about a business plan and the steps to make one. I remember my clients wondering about which systems or protocols and standard of operations they will use for their business. I attended multiple webinars to get information on starting an online business. After a webinar, I had a spiral notebook full of notes but still didn’t know how to start.  I had notes on registering a business, creating a business plan, creating a landing page and different marketing strategies.  “Ok, I'm ready to start building." But build what?   Being over 40, I realized that having a business plan was NOT my first step in building the business.  In this episode, I share how I built a service-based business without a business plan because it required a different strategy that involved me: -changing by perspective and -changing the relationship I had with myself.

My menopausal symptoms (night sweats, irritability, acne, memory loss, exhaustion) made me very uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable when I decided to prioritize myself. It was uncomfortable when I decided to start building a business. I was making my discomfort mean "I'm not supposed to do this thing." I realized that the discomfort is actually what I needed to grow into my full self....and follow my dreams.

Giving ourselves permission to fail puts us in a position to win. But we have to give ourselves permission when we are navigating through the midlife transitions like perimenopause and becoming an entrepreneur.  When we give ourselves permission to change, to rest, to fail, then we get closer to the woman we were designed to be. In this episode, I discuss what it looked like when I gave myself permission to fail in menopause and business.

Here’s the number one thing that is holding us back from navigating through the menopausal transition and then subsequently transition into entrepreneurship… We are too committed to the old or prior version of ourselves…how we used to do things, how we used to look, how we used to feel.  In this episode, I share the Secrets to Building a Thriving Business while Navigating through Midlife Changes: 1. Release the prior version of you 2. Change the relationship with yourself and commit to YOU 3. KNOW,LIKE and TRUST you…this is where the magic happens and you’ll see this in the next episode when I talk to another one of my clients and what she has accomplished after getting to know, like and trust herself after finishing my program. 4.

Did you catch the Menopause Moguls Live series in my private Facebook group? In this episode, one of my Amazing clients shared her hesitancy about starting Menopause Moguls… “I was afraid that I wouldn’t stay committed to the process.” Ladies, I know we’ve all wanted to do certain things but didn’t do it because we were afraid we wouldn’t finish what we started for many reasons….we get too busy, too tired, too overwhelmed.  Ask yourself these questions…. Would I commit to someone I don’t know? Would I commit to someone I don’t like? Would I commit to someone I don’t trust? I’m gonna guess the answers are “No.” So in order to commit to the process, we have to first commit to ourselves.  And you can commit to YOU when you KNOW, LIKE and TRUST yourself.  Then, you can STAY COMMITTED to the PROCESS and launch a business while navigating through the midlife changes.

There are so many changes that can occur when transitioning into menopause and into entrepreneurship. I realized a Fear of Change equates to a Fear of Loss.... Losing the way we used to do things, Losing the way we used to feel about ourselves, Losing the way we looked, the way we looked at ourselves, Losing our identity, Losing our sex appeal or sexual desire.

As high-achieving Black women, we are conditioned to be Super Human. Conditioned to DO ALL the things to be acknowledged, to be seen, to be heard.

You ever feel like you can barely keep your head above water doing ALL the things. Putting pressure on ourselves to do everything in a 24 hour period, taking care of our responsibilities in our career, taking care of kids, taking care of parents, any other outside responsibilities-a committee, active in community. You're treading water to stay afloat but you're not going anywhere. Your heart's desire to start that business doesn't seem possible because you're wearing your many hats to show up for everyone on their terms, not yours. STOP. What if you JUST FLOAT? In this episode, I discuss: When navigating through the menopausal transition, you have to learn to be ok with floating and be comfortable in your skin. When starting a business after 40, you have to be ok with not knowing everything and willing to walk forward one step at a time and let God or the Universe(whatever you believe in) reveal to you the next step. I know you want to be in control of all the things but sometimes you have to... Release the pressure of being everything to everybody. Allow change to happen because this promotes your growth. Make room in your mind that allows you to follow your heart instead of allowing the outside world cause you to ignore what you've been called to do. Let go and Let GOD and FLOAT.

Fear of failure or the fear of what other people think can propel us to stay complacent or comfortable. Those fears are powerful forces that can produce limiting beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that inhibit our potential and our happiness. In this episode, I discuss an article in Forbes Women called 5 Danger Signs that Complacency Will Derail Your Career and my interpretation of how this relates to the menopausal transition and the transition into entrepreneurship.   The 5 signs are: 1.No longer striving to do your best. 2.I am operating off an old system. 3.I am not seeking or taking advantage of new opportunities. 4. I am not maintaining or building your network of business contacts. 5. I don't risk sharing my opinion or ideas.

Over the years,  I got lost....I was doing all the things for all the people around me, my husband, my children, my patients, my colleagues.... just trying to be the best that I can be. Leaning on my own strengths and my own understanding.  And I think over time that was just really weighing down on me. Like just more pressure. It's just started to become heavier and heavier and heavier.  Then, I was also getting older and developing perimenopausal symptoms where the night sweat started happening, the irritability started to happen. I got to a point where I couldn't keep going carrying this weight. In this episode, I discuss how I had to learn to lean on God again, trust Him and also learn how to ask for help so I can walk in my purpose.   If you are a Black woman who is striving for the freedom to be who you are and the woman you are becoming to follow your dreams of being an entrepreneur and create your LEGACY then Join my private Facebook group, Menopause Moguls™:Starting a Business while Managing Symptoms to learn the steps to making your business dream into a reality.

Then, I realized I had to acknowledge them and embrace it and it made me figure out what I needed for my mind, body and spirit to feel better, to feel whole.

What if feeling unsure and lost is part of the process? As a black women, we are conditioned not to feel or show emotion.  As high-achieving women, we are conditioned to always be DOING to be seen and heard, get acknowledged for our accomplishments. So, as a black woman entrepreneur, I’ve been doing many things and at the same time, avoiding feelings so that I can just keep going because that is what I’m “supposed” to do. I realized that this no longer breeds success, at least the type of success I truly want. So, this episode is me owning up to my truth and being comfortable with being vulnerable. In this episode, I discuss that it's ok to feel unsure about starting a business and how it can be part of the process that you may need to endure in order to launch your business and subsequently run your business.

Just like the menopausal transition being a roller coaster, Entreprenuership can have highs and lows...and I'm currently in a low point. This episode is me owning my truth. I've shared my perimenopause journey so I need to share my entrepreneurial journey with you too, the highs and the lows. In this episode, I discuss how I've been avoiding negative emotions and also been caught up in being attached to what I do which then made me question my worth.

I talked about how YOU are the business and I wanted to dive deeper on how you process your feelings can make an impact on how you show up. You may think Dr. Joy'El is always positive. and I have it ALL together. NOPE, I don't. So, I wanted to share my truth with you. I am not immune to feeling negative but I've been avoiding this feeling for years. Being a high achieving woman, especially a black woman, we are conditioned not to feel or show emotion....I remember seeing stoic black women in the office but who were really struggling with menopausal symptoms. They would say, "I'm fine," which is my default answer when someone asks me "how are you doing?" I am in a season when I'm not really "fine." In this episode, I discuss how: It's ok to have the feeling, it's ok to sit with the feeling Acknowledge it, understand it, accept it....this is rooted in the relationship you have with yourself. Then, what you do after the feeling is also important.... Take action....mindset of high value helps you to act because if you stay in low value mindset, it keeps you stuck in struggle and frustration and in spaces you don't want to be in.

"You cannot wait for things to get better…You get better." You think you have to wait for things to get better…surrounding circumstances…at home or at work, then you can do this "other" thing. You think you have to wait for things to get better before you can start doing things that you want to do. In this episode, I discuss how waiting is actually us avoiding guilt. Guilt about taking care of ourselves and taking time away from family or from our 9-5 job. Our Business Success starts with the relationship we have with ourselves. Once we give ourselves permission to build a new relationship with ourselves, a committed relationship, we are able to accomplish our goals in building a business and in optimizing our health.

When you know better, you do better. But some of us know better but still won’t do better.  You know to eat healthy. You know to exercise. You know that you need to start your business to get off the hamster wheel of struggle in your current situation. But you don’t or you try to do it but fall short. I told myself that I’m addicted to bread. You tell yourself that you’re addicted to sugar. You tell yourself that you can’t do certain things like start a business.  Eating salads and more veggies sounds uncomfortable…when I mention eat a plant-based diet…people immediately go to oh no, I have to give up chicken and steak?! Limiting sugar sounds uncomfortable. Exercising 5 days a week sounds uncomfortable. Building a whole business sounds uncomfortable. You are avoiding pain. We are designed to avoid pain. We attach things to being painful. So you don’t move forward to get to those goals that sound or look painful. You know better but don’t do better because we are thinking about the pain, thinking about the pain going through the process. But you have to GO through something to get your BREAK through. And the GO through doesn’t have to be painful…you can attach it to something positive...the desires of your heart.  You can attach it to the DESIRE, the person you want to become. In this episode, you learn in order to do better when you know better, you can   1. Make a mindset shift, 2.Change the relationship with you-I deserve BETTER and MORE, 3.Learn that there is a process and commit to the process after attaching the process to the desire Are you a black professional woman 40 and over who wants to start a service-based business but feel overwhelmed by the menopausal transition, perfectionism or imposter syndrome?

You may think you can’t launch a business because it’s too late or you've been doing this one thing for so long that you can’t start over….or the vision looks cloudy...or you need to brainstorm more ideas first. Most say building then launching a business is only 20% skills and 80% mindset.....I say it's more like 90% MINDSET! Your next level requires a different version of your mind. Those thoughts you have about starting or not starting are rooted in fear.....afraid that it won't work....afraid that if you build it,no one will want it.  Or even thoughts about menopause may be that it's all doom & gloom and it's controlling your life.  I'm here to tell you that you can have those thoughts but still START anyway. In this episode, I discuss adopting a Menopause Mogul Mindset allows you to launch your business even when you have fears.  Adopting a Mogul mindset allows you to: -Think Big -Set goals and commit to them -Be confident in decisions -Execute tasks without doubts -Be prepared to pivot and change direction when necessary Are you a black professional woman 40 and over who wants to start a service-based business but feel overwhelmed by the menopausal transition?

As I was starting my menopausal transition, I realized that I was "casually dating" myself and then left me, my wants, my needs in the dark...ignored.  And I didn't even have healthy conversations with myself...I wasn't kind. When I decided to start a new relationship with myself, a committed relationship, there was a shift.  I shifted out of struggle into transformation.  I started asking what I wanted and needed then listened. In this episode, I discuss how changing your relationship with yourself can propel you into the transformation you desire as you embark on transitions in your life whether it's menopause and/or entrepreneurship.  Are you a black professional woman 40 and over who wants to start a service-based business but feel overwhelmed by the menopausal transition?

It's New Year so that means it's time for change! Yes, another change. This season of our lives is all about evolution....how we continue to evolve over time.  So, I'm evolving and so is this podcast. This podcast is getting a new name, a new look and a new vibe! I want to build something that empowers women, especially black women, to RECLAIM their POWER, JOY and TIME during menopause so they can build BUSINESSES and gain economic wealth and power to change our communities and make this world a better place.  This podcast will support my mission. We'll still talk about menopause and midlife-ish but lean more into how it affects our livelihoods, how we show up in our work environments and in our business. And I understand not everybody wants to start their own business and that is cool and I'm not trying to push you into doing that because that is a calling.  But those of you who do have that calling, we'll also lean more into building businesses and wealth so we as women make a greater impact on our communities.

"Energy flows where our intention goes." This quote spoke to me because I believes it applies to our journey through menopause as well as entrepreneurship.  As we embark on a new year, I want all of us to be intentional about our choices...intentional about food choices....intentional about moving our bodies...intentional about taking steps toward building our empires.  I realized that when we have good intentions, we can then act with intention because it doesn't just start and stop at the thought, we have to put those thoughts into action as we navigate through our transitions. In this episode, I discuss the power of intention and how it impacts  us making moves that align with our goals.

Are you chasing the next "quick fix" as we embark on another year? A "quick fix" to manage weight, to get rid of symptoms ASAP or quick tips to build a business. I realized when I was chasing the "quick fix," I was actually running away from the next version of me. I was avoiding her and not noticing what she really needs to go to the next level. When I stopped chasing and looked inward to figure out what I needed to feel better in my skin, I started to attract awesome things in my life. In this episode, I discuss when we pay attention to what we need internally, we won't have to chase the "quick fix" because we will attract what belongs to us and become the better version of ourselves.

Menopause is all about change, right? I continue to evolve as my journey unfolds and I decided to change the name of my private Facebook group.  In this episode, I share why and my vision for this community moving forward.  The short version is, I want to see Black women WIN! I want Black women to be able to build profitable businesses while managing menopausal symptoms.  Women make up 46% of Black entrepreneurs and over half are around the menopausal age. I want to increase the number of Black woman-owned businesses by empowering them to manage their menopausal symptoms so that their businesses thrive.

My girls made muffins that exploded in the oven...."Mommy, they look messy and they don't look perfect, but they taste really good!" They were right! This reminded me of how I was looking to be the...Perfect mother, the Perfect doctor. Searching for the Perfect regimen to fix my symptoms. Waiting for the Perfect time to start my business. I realized menopause was happening to me AND responding to me. As I was stressing to make everything "perfect" on the outside, I was falling apart on the inside. In this episode, I discuss the importance of focusing on the feelings that come underneath those symptoms and why nourishing ourselves from the inside allows us to shine brighter on the outside.

"I should be able to do it ALL." "I don't need help, I'll just figure it out on my own."   These were things I told myself because I was afraid to ask for help, especially from a coach! I was very hesitant in hiring a coach but when I finally did, I asked myself, "why didn't I do this sooner?!" In this episode, I discuss whether it's navigating through the menopausal transition and/or building a business, asking for help is OK and quite frankly essential to getting the transformation that we desire.  We can save our precious time and energy when we have someone who has been where we are and can guide us through these transitions as they provide support so that we get to our NEXT level.

I discussed the power of the PAUSE back in Episode 27 because the menopausal transition requires to BE STILL and listen to our bodies and give it what it needs.  There will be other times when taking a PAUSE is necessary....repeatedly.  As women, especially black women, we are so used to "pushing through" pain and struggle.  But we don't have to "push through" ALL the time.  In fact, we shouldn't because that ends in exhaustion and brokenness which not only affects us but it affects our families and our business/career. As I continue to evolve and elevate my business, I found myself pushing negative thoughts aside instead of acknowledging them. In this episode, I discuss the need for repeated PAUSE's to acknowledge thoughts and feelings as we grow our businesses and as we grow into the person we were meant to be.

Sticks and stones may break our bones and so will the lack of estrogen during the menopause.  Our bone mass peaks at age 30 then we slowly lose bone mass around 40.  This bone loss becomes accelerated in menopause so it's important that we are proactive when it comes to our bone health. In this episode, I discuss how the quote below is relevant to our bone health and our overall health when managing through the transition: "To thrive in life, you need three bones.  A Wishbone. A Backbone. And a Funny bone."                                                                                                                                     -Reba McEntire I also discuss: -A Dexa scan as a screening test for bone density -The importance of vitamins D3 and C, Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc -The importance of weight-bearing exercises and light weights.

Are you perimenopausal or menopausal and full of Ish? This is a valid question and you don't hear people talking about it. Yes, I'm talking about constipation....something that is very common in women. If you are not having regular bowel movements, this can impact how you respond to the menopausal transition. I'm not only discussing being full of Ish in the literal sense but also figuratively. Many of us can be filled with thoughts and the external and internal pressures that arise during these midlife years. I discuss the importance of doing a "brain dump" to open up space in your head...then gain clarity. I refer to Episode 9 to review potential midlife pressures. Our menopause experience is influenced by things we may hold inside and we have to learn to let that Ish go! Please Subscribe and Share this episode!

The ability to adjust in menopause is required.  The mental and physical changes that occur can throw our routines off completely so we have to be open to the fact that we will need to adjust things....adjust how we eat, adjust how we exercise, adjust how we respond to stressful situations. In this episode, I discuss: -the importance of a morning routine and prioritizing yourself -the need to PAUSE, reflect, reset and adjust accordingly to manage through menopausal symptoms -being aware that adjustments may be necessary frequently and that's ok Are you a professional woman of color over 40 who wants to pivot to something new in your career or start a business but feel overwhelmed by menopausal symptoms?

Doctor, can you check my hormones to see if I'm perimenopausal?  The short answer is "no." But the long answer is "checking hormones" may not give me much information if you're perimenopausal because your hormones are fluctuating...they can be "normal" one day and "abnormal" the next day. In this episode, I discuss: -Hormones that I consider checking like thyroid hormone -Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH) and what it does in menopause -Reasons I may consider checking additional hormones:a woman without cycles due to contraception like Mirena IUD or due to hysterectomy or if a woman was placed on testosterone and the importance of monitoring its levels. -The importance of monitoring symptoms instead of just the levels of hormones to see if treatment plan is working.

Parents with small kids out there may be familiar with the book Go the F**k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach.   I was wondering if they have this type of book for adults, especially women who suffer from insomnia during perimenopause and menopause.  Insomnia is difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep or waking up in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep. Unfortunately, it is common and it can affect multiple body systems leading to mood irritability, brain fog and even heart disease.   So, sleep is NOT a luxury but a priority for our overall health and well-being.

But, not true! There are many options and it's important to be aware of them to have a productive conversation with your GYN or Primary Care Physician to decide which option is best for you.

I remember creating time to get my hair done and nails to ensure the outside looks good. But I didn't  seem to have the time to do things that are good for the inside....like exercise, self care, rest.  I remember thinking I don't have time to deal with these menopausal symptoms I was experiencing.  I was just hoping that they would just go away on their own.  I was wrong. I've learned from my business coach that "time is a decision."  We can decide how we spend our time.  And I decided that I had to create time to take care of ME.  This included listening to my body and figuring out what I needed to feel whole again. In this episode, I discuss the importance of investing our time in taking care of ourselves especially during the menopausal transition.

Menopause is not only happening to you but responding to you too. We tend to focus on the actual symptoms we experience during the menopausal transition but do we take the time to notice how we are responding to them.  Our thoughts and feelings about each symptom can actually influence the intensity of the symptom.  If you feel really stressed about the symptom, if there are outside stressors or if you have negative thoughts about menopause in general, then your symptoms can intensify.  In this episode, I discuss how it is important to acknowledge our thoughts and feelings toward menopause and seek to change them in order to lessen the symptoms.  I discuss the importance of experiencing joy despite the symptoms during the transition.
