What the Oprah Menopause Special Got Right -- and What's Missing

First off—yes, finally!

We’re having real conversations about menopause on mainstream platforms.

And here’s what they did right:

• -They shared facts 🧠
• -They gave real examples 💬
• -They helped build community 🤝
• -Most importantly, they started the conversation 🎤

These are all powerful and positive steps in the right direction.

But here’s what was missing… ⚠️

They didn’t talk about the role of lifestyle changes—and how making intentional shifts can make this transition so much smoother ✨.

They encouraged women to keep living life the same way. But here’s the truth: There’s a reason it’s called peri-menoPAUSE and menoPAUSE.

God designed a pause for a reason ⏸️.

This is the perfect time to reassess our lives 🔍
To stop. To reflect.
To transition from an ovarian-centric phase to an adrenal-centric one.

Now let me ask you something:
Have you ever wondered why some women glide through menopause with little to no symptoms… while others feel absolutely miserable?

Here’s the secret:
It’s not just luck. It’s not just genetics.
It’s about how well your body is supported—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—during this transition.

It’s about the choices you make leading up to and during this season of life.

If we don’t make that shift—if we keep pushing, overachieving, ignoring our needs—symptoms will scream louder and louder until we listen 🚨.

Can hormones help? Yes, for some women.
But think about it: Why would God create a natural process that half the population will go through—and require synthetic intervention forever just to survive it?

Spoiler alert: He didn’t. ❌💉

What He did give us is a runway—a 2 to 12 year transition period—to change how we live, how we nourish ourselves, how we rest, and how we align with our new purpose 🛬✨

Menopause isn’t the end.
It’s the invitation to evolve 🦋

Our over-achieving, hustle-driven lifestyles are not sustainable ⚡
Yes—work hard, absolutely.
But also—rest hard, play hard, worship hard ⛪⚽🛌

As we age, we’re meant to become not just older, but wiser 🦉
Wiser in how we treat our bodies, our minds, our time ⏳

I’m so glad the Oprah special got people talking 💬
 

But now let’s talk about the next step:

What in your life is promoting dysfunction and dis-ease?
Because I promise—it’s not just a hormone issue.

Let’s stop blaming the natural design and start asking:

What piece of the puzzle are we missing? 🧩
