Menopause is a dramatic but largely overlooked developmental window to the second half of life. Although today's women are more aware of and actively involved in mapping their menopausal journey than generations before, many still do not see menopause as a time of important psychological and spiritual transformation.
This audiobook goes far beyond hot flashes and gets to the very heart of the midlife journey, helping women find their unique voice and speak their truth in an era of #MeToo and #ChurchToo. Coming alongside listeners as a wise spiritual guide, pastor and theologian Cheryl Bridges Johns identifies seven key developmental "tasks" of menopause and gives practical ways women can embrace each one. She encourages women to view these tasks as gifts as they experience the remarkable physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation that occurs in this stage of life.
Written in a warm and conversational tone, this audiobook helps women chart a course for the future, leading them to a renewed sense of identity, a more focused vision for life, and a deeper spirituality.

Overall however, this book feels like she took a tidy and worthwhile one-hour lecture and stretched it into a book. I felt some chapters lacked distinction from each other as the author worked to fill them out. I bristled at proscriptive nonsense like “it’s ok to use hormones but don’t OVER-medicate with them” what does this even mean? I really don’t like it when people give women this idea that there’s a “right” way to navigate their menopause transition. I almost stopped reading when she took aim at women who put their “flabby thighs in tight leggings”. Ladies, one of the gifts of menopause is not giving a rip about what others think and I hope you wear whatever your heart desires. I think the author was declaring women don’t need to dress to appear younger but it didn’t land for me.
Special snark because I am a certified menopause practitioner : she touts non-sense about “natural” hormones in the beginning (this is marketing but I get that she’s not a healthcare provider and thought her sources were reliable) and she turns the “i” in perimenopause into an “a” when she pronounces it which is jarring when you have to hear it 5000 times.
I do think that women who have earnestly lived a Christian life and find themselves grappling with their midlife transformation will find more help than harm in this book. Still, I doubt I will recommend it to friends or patients.
Wouldn’t recommend except to Christians flailing in midlife
