Episode Highlights
How Menopause Led Me to Become a Life Coach
- Menopause was a wake-up call for me to reconnect to my body.
- I used to eat my emotions away and work with external sources to manage my weight.
- Uncomfortable as menopause was physically and mentally, it was a time when I felt most open to opportunities and transformation.
Finding My Voice in Menopause
- Menopause is a significant time in women’s life despite the many changes in their bodies and minds.
- Adolescence and menopause are two chapters marked by hormonal influx. As a result, they are very emotional times for every woman.
- Adolescence offers women opportunities to figure out who they are and what they want to do in life. During menopause, on the other hand, women already know what works for them and what they want to achieve.
- While I was going through menopause, I felt I wasn’t using my voice the way I wanted. The discomfort thus pushed me to find something different in my life.

Training to Become a Life Coach
- I trained with one of my favorite authors and life coaches, Martha Beck.
- At the end of our time together, Martha told me to think of a sign pointing to what I was destined to be doing.
- I thought of a butterfly. Serendipitously, my husband and I went to bed and breakfast that day called La Mariposa, which means butterfly.
- Life has a way of showing you your destiny if you open your heart to possibilities.
- Menopause is a transitional stage in women’s life; it is a time for transformation.
Growing Like a Butterfly
- In my program, I use a butterfly’s metamorphosis to show the three stages of creating a Thinner Peace mindset.
- The first stage is the rethink stage or the caterpillar stage. It involves looking at the mind and learning how to manage it.
- The second stage is the reset stage or the cocoon stage. It involves concentrating on the condition of the physical body and the mind.
- The third stage is the reinvent stage or the stage when a butterfly fully transforms. It involves combining the management of the mind and the physical body to create the life you want.
