Forget the concept of growing old, struggling through menopause, waiting for it to pass until you emerge on the other side, ready to enjoy life again. There is no need to wait, and every reason not to, especially at a time when life feels out of balance.

Whether your goal is to maintain or lose weight, gain control over your emotions, take your focus off your symptoms, or live a more passionate life on purpose, Come Back Strong is the blueprint. This step-by-step guide to balanced wellness teaches:

• How to educate and empower yourself to have better conversations with your doctors.
• How to use complementary medicine to minimize premenopause, perimenopause, and menopause symptoms.
• How to make lifestyle changes to feel more balanced.
• Tools to change your thoughts, words, and feelings so you have more control over your emotions.
• How to discover your purpose, uncover your passions, and look forward to the next chapter of your life.
• How to find peace, harmony, joy, and purpose despite your symptoms of menopause.

Come Back Strong includes:

• Practical tips to choose the right perspective and manage expectations.
• Real-world advice to help reduce stress.
• Ideas to gain support, not sabotage from your support network and realistic ways to ask for help.
• Definitions and explanations of wellness, the natural progression of menopause, the suddenness of surgical menopause, and the symptoms of menopause, as well as the difference between synthetic and bioidentical hormone replacement therapies.

Interview with the Author

Q - So, what makes the Life Lessons series special?

A - It's a mix of things, really. When I sit down to write, it starts as a quiet, solitary journey of self-awareness and development. Inevitably, it turns from my own personal journey toward something that can inspire others to lead lives of true health, love, laughter, and freedom. I wanted to create something that mirrored the kind of books I like to read. My top picks are usually memoirs, self-help, and personal development, and books featuring ordinary people that become the hero of their own life. Usually with a kick-butt attitude skipping the “woe is me” nonsense about ‘hanging in there.

The Life Lessons books are a great mix of these genres. You'll find the series focuses on true health and wellness and addresses issues of weight-loss, sleep issues, sex and libido, hormone balance for women, relief from menopause, the ultimate comeback to any setback, the mindset to transform, self-care and more! There's a book called Raging Love that I co-wrote with my husband. It's his journey using anger over childhood bullying, racism, and abuse to rise to a national champion powerlifter, and what comes after. It even includes our love story.

Books still to come to include Cycling Shorts (life lessons from the bike) and a Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (a dinner party guide that navigates diversity to keep things interesting)!

Overall, the Life Lessons series is designed to empower you toward living life more abundantly.

Q - Is there a specific order to read your books?

A - No! They are all written so you can read the books in any order, and all the story threads will tie up nicely in support of guiding you toward your own life of true health, love, laughter, and freedom.

Q - So, why should readers give these books a try?

A - Because the Life Lessons series is short, fast, easy-to-read, and filled with action steps you can apply immediately! Thanks for reading!
