Queen's Initiation: The Powerful Portal of Menopause with Shae Gōrgeous
Menopause has been sold to us as an ending. The end of our fertility, our desirability, our relevance. But what if it's actually one of the most powerful initiations a woman can move through?
That's the conversation I got to have with the gorgeous Shae Gōrgeous — executive wellness and leadership coach, embodiment educator, and a woman who moved through early natural menopause at 42 and came out the other side with a completely different relationship to her body, her sexuality, and her power.
What we explore together goes so much deeper than symptoms and solutions. We talk about the descent — that chrysalis period of not knowing, of letting go of who we were, of sitting with an identity that no longer fits — and why that descent is not something to fix or rush through, but something to move through with gentleness and presence. We talk about how the estrogen that's been softening our edges, feeding our people-pleasing, keeping us oriented outward, starts to deplete — and how that stripping away is actually an invitation to finally come home to ourselves. We talk about responsive desire, about eros that rises through the heart, about what it means to reclaim our sexuality not for anyone else but purely, completely, for us.
And we talk about why we need each other for this. More than almost anything else.
This one is for every woman who is in perimenopause, moving toward menopause, or simply wants to understand what this initiation has to offer. Which is so much more than we've been told.
