Kate Codrington is the author of Second Spring: the self-care guide to menopause, which is a rather lovely and revolutionary new book. She’s a menstrual and menopause mentor, speaker, workshop facilitator, writer, podcaster and a therapist for nearly 30 years. She’s passionate about bringing a more holistic approach to the menopause transition and to enabling women to embrace fully this powerful stage of life.
We talk about:
- Where Kate is in her menopause journey
- How the book is very different to other books on menopause
- How Kate sees menopause as something very positive
- How cyclicality is core to the book and how this impacts women throughout life
- The earthiness of the book and the power that comes from that
- Yoga Nidra and its role in the book and in our menopause transition
- The importance of going inward in menopause
- Embracing the change rather than fighting it
- Menopause as a spiritual journey
- Things that annoy us both about the prevailing menopause narratives
- What Kate learnt from her own menopause transition
And more!
