Society forces us to look through the lens of insufficiency because we are losing estrogen.
Menopause can make you feel like you're losing energy, vitality and beauty.
And we keep looking through this lens when we are trying to pivot or build a business in these midlife years, building it can seem too hard.

But, we can change our lens. In this episode, I discuss how changing our lens can help take action toward our dreams regardless of the changes that are happening within our bodies.
