Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo-Wurtlizer of Red School authors of Wise Power

The Merry Menopause Bookclub

Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer are the co-founders of Red School. Together they have spent over 10,000 hours researching and refining their radical new approach to health, creativity, leadership and spiritual life. And the best bit? It's rooted in the bloody, wild, radical power of the menstrual cycle and Menopause.

They are the authors of two Hay House books Wild Power - which completely changed my life - and the book we are discussing in this epsiode the newly released Wise Power, which is all about discovering the liberating power of Menopause

They say never meet your heroes but I have now met two of mine. It was a privilege to have Alexandra and Sjanie as my guests. Join as for this beautiful and empowering conversation, that will change the way you look at and experience your Menopuase forever.

• Alexandra explains the power of the Menstrual cycle and how Menopause is the final stage of the journey and shares her experience.
• Power! The difference in conscious and unconscious use of our power, how it shows up and how to navigate it.
• Alexandra talks about her early 50s and her personal experience of the impact of the Menopause process.
• It should be our birthright that we come into Menopause with some degree of connection with ourselves and knowing ourselves because we have been in touch with our body through cycle awareness.
• Rage and Tiredness - When we feel these without context or reason we can feel there is something wrong with us.
• The dignity of reclaiming our power - This is happening for a reason, this is what you are meant to be feeling.
• Why the preparatory phase of Menopause is so important
• Menopause doesn't just happen in a vacuum its the culmination of our journey
• So much that happens in our 40s is teaching us to care for ourselves and showing us what needs to be healed.

• The five phases of our Menopause initiation

1. Betrayal - at Menopauise we are changing and at the beginning of any time of change there is phase of chaos.
2. Repair - Rest is EVERYTHING.
3. Revelation - Recognising yourself and the changes you’ve experienced.
4. Visioning - Getting clarity about your vision and what lights you up
5. Emergence - What happens next?!

• How Alexandra and Sjanie met
• How Sjanie is preparing for her Menopause journey.
