Let’s be honest—navigating perimenopause and menopause can feel like a wild ride 🎢, not just for your body, but for your mind too.

Anxiety 😟, mood swings 😢, and even depression 🌀 can pop up unexpectedly, leaving you wondering what’s happening.

In this week’s episode of the podcast 🎙️, I've invited Lisa Brookman, psychotherapist and co-director of the West Island Therapy and Wellness Centre here in Montreal, to talk about this important topic.

We’re diving deep into mental health for women in midlife —because the changes that are happending in midlife aren’t just physical; they’re emotional too.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

💪 Learn why being kind to yourself is crucial and how it can transform your mental and emotional well-being

🧰 Discover simple, effective practices to stay emotionally balanced

💡 Find out what mental health challenges crop up and how to recognize when it’s time to seek support

🗣️ Learn how to get the care and respect youd deserve, from speaking with your healthcare provider to setting boundaries

This conversation is a reminder that we’re not powerless during this transition 🌟.

With the right tools 🛠️ and mindset, we can nurture our mental health and emerge stronger than ever.

And if you know someone who could benefit from this conversation, please share it with them—they’ll thank you for it! 🙌

Happy New Year to you! 🎉🎉🎉

I love being at the beginning of the year and imagining what I can create in the weeks and months ahead.

But it can also be daunting.

So, a great tool to make it manageable and intentional, especially as we start a new year, is a vision board.

In this episode, I'll take you step-by-step into creating a vision board.

Here's what we'll explore

• What a vision board is
• How to get clear on your vision for the year
• What materials you'll need
• How to assemble your board
• How to use your vision board to motivate you through the year

I love vision boards!

Not only do they work, they're also fun to create.

And now is the perfect time to take an hour or two, in a cozy environment, to really think about how you want this year to go.

And then put it in physical form.

Wishing you health, happiness, and fulfillment in the year ahead,

Debbie
