Ep 134 - Lori Massicot - You Are Not Hopeless and Being Stuck is a Choice

Are you experiencing menopause?  Have you been worried about how you are going to feel?  In this episode we dive into learning more about menopause, and all the things that our bodies are going through. There is so much more information available for women in today’s society. We discuss how what we put in our bodies, and what we choose to do with our bodies makes a difference in how our menopause journey will go.

 

In this episode I talk with Lori Massicot, a sober lifestyle coach for women over 40, podcaster, certified nutrition coach, and LOVER of all things midlife.  She joins us to discuss her own menopause journey, and her sober life journey. After eight years of going through perimenopause while drinking two bottles of Chardonnay in one sitting, Lori decided to take the road less traveled and quit drinking after three decades of being the “party girl.” We dive into what women can do to take their journey into their own hands and find the best course of treatment to live a happy healthy lifestyle even over 50!

 

Questions I asked:

  • How can we keep ourselves from succumbing to aging stereotypes?
  • What are some of the typical challenges in middle of life that you find women are faced with?
  • Why is it important to learn as you say to "PIVOT" in midlife? 
  • How do we change the story we tell ourselves?
  • What can we expect in peri-menopause and menopause?
  • How do you help women?

 

Topics Discussed:

  • Sober living
  • Fear of Aging.
  • How to deal with perimenopause.
  • How to learn more about menopause
  • Embracing a new story in your head
  • Letting go of stigma and stereotypes
