How Mindfulness Can Make Menopause Better: A Conversation with Dr. Clarissa Kristjansson
Show Notes

Every year, people with uteruses will go through menopause—that’s an estimated 1.3 million women (and some trans men) in the U.S. alone who enter menopause.

Rather than this natural biological transition being weighed down under layers of anxiety, stress and overwhelm, my guest today is offering an approach for an alternative experience. 

Menopause health coach, mindfulness practitioner and neuroscientist, Clarissa Kristjansson PhD is daring to bare all about how mindfulness can make the menopause experience not just better, but enjoyable.

Clarissa teaches people around the world how they can transform their menopause journey from one of challenge into one of empowerment through self-awareness, compassion and understanding. 

In this episode she shares her top tips for better sleep, reducing anxiety and for experiencing more joy in menopause. 

This episode is jam packed with actionable tips, tools and skills that you are going to want to listen to on repeat.
