Episode 16: Menopause — A Movement Toward Freedom
with Suzi Tucker
Menopause is a subject very close to my heart.
As a woman in my fifties, I find myself living the questions that menopause brings—
through the body, emotions, relationships, identity, and the changing sense of self that can emerge during this stage of life.
In this conversation, I’m joined again by the wonderful Suzi Tucker—an international Family Constellations teacher, writer, and public speaker .
Together, we explore menopause, a change in life.
We speak about:
– Menopause as a threshold and a “change of life”
– Aging, visibility, beauty, and the female body
– Symptoms, hot flashes, mood changes, and the nervous system
– Freedom, creativity, and contribution later in life
– The idea of “befriending” our symptoms rather than fighting them
– Lineage and generations in Family Constellations work
Toward the end of the conversation, I ask Suzi:
What is a good sentence for a woman in this stage of life to say to herself while looking in the mirror?
Her answer:
“I am grateful that I am here.”
