BURN THE RULEBOOK MENOPAUSE SERIES EPISODE #6 | The Body Knows: Herbs, Reflexology & Your Wisdom Years with Maureen Harrison
Six months. Dozens of conversations. And this final episode of the Menopause Series may be the most grounding one yet. We wrap up the series with her dear friend Maureen Harrison an Integrated Wellness Practitioner based in Strathroy, Ontario, whose home studio feels like a little apothecary. Maureen brings a beautifully layered approach to supporting women through perimenopause and menopause: reflexology (foot, hand, and facial), aromatherapy, community herbalism, Reiki, energy work, gem essences, and the newly introduced Zone Facelift and Indian Head Massage. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and remember that your body holds its own wisdom and that supporting it doesn't have to be complicated. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why Maureen's work is co-creative, not prescriptive and how that changes everything The 60+ symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, and why your experience is entirely individual How reflexology maps on the face, hands, and feet correspond to body systems including the reproductive and digestive systems The simple, at-home technique using a spoon on your chin to stimulate hormonal reflexes Where the adrenal reflex lives on your face, and why cortisol is often the unsung driver of menopausal symptoms A gentle guide to working the "70s mustache" zone for bloating and digestion How aromatherapy blends are customized to each woman's shifting needs — and why a one-size-fits-all approach falls short The power of community herbalism: chamomile, peppermint, nettle, rose, and calendula — and how to bring them into your everyday routine through teas, carrier oils, and skincare Gua sha and facial cupping what they are, how they work, and why Maureen says our laugh lines deserve to stay The role of tracking your cycle, skin, cravings, and energy including watching moon cycles as a form of embodied self-knowledge Why Maureen (and Misty) believe our disconnection from nature is amplifying the challenges of this life stage Maureen's deeply moving personal experience navigating her last period and what the medical system got wrong The wisdom reframe: perimenopause and menopause as an entry into inner powerment, clearer boundaries, and deeper self-knowing What's launching on Maureen's website in June: her 12-week Menopause Reflexology Program, Zone Facelift program, Indian Head Massage, Thai herbal poultice, and holistic facials   Practical Takeaways Try this today:   Chin stimulation — Using clean hands (or the back of a spoon), gently make small circular movements along your chin and around the lip line to support hormonal and digestive reflexes. Adrenal point — Just below the pupil along the cheekbone, apply gentle pressure to support the adrenal reflex — especially helpful during stress and hot flashes. Start tracking — Note your cycle, skin changes, cravings, energy, and mood. Over time, patterns emerge that become your personal roadmap. Make a cup of tea — Chamomile for digestion and sleep. Peppermint for an uplift. Nettle for nutritive support. Let it be a ritual, not a task. Get outside — Watch a sunrise or sunset. Sit against a tree. Let nature be part of your healing.

There comes a point where you realize no one really taught you what was coming next. In this episode of Burn the Rulebook Menopause Series, Misty sits down with Lindsey, a yoga teacher turned yoga therapist who found herself asking deeper questions when she realized how little information existed around menopause. What started as curiosity became a calling. This conversation dives into the gaps in women's health education, the evolution of menopause awareness, and how women can begin to understand and support their bodies in a more informed, compassionate way. It's thoughtful, honest, and rooted in the reality that many women are navigating this season without enough guidance. What we explore in this episode • Lindsay's journey from yoga teacher to yoga therapist specializing in menopause • The lack of menopause education and why so many women feel unprepared • How curiosity can lead to deeper purpose and work that actually matters • The shift from general wellness to targeted support for women in midlife • Why menopause conversations are only just starting to open up • Supporting women through informed, body-aware practices • The importance of education for both practitioners and everyday women • How women can begin to feel more equipped instead of overwhelmed Lindsey is a Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist. Specializing in women's health and menopause education Lecturer and educator for yoga therapy professionals Find Lindsey on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/lindseybrown_therapy/ Website: https://liveyogatherapy.com/ If this episode made you realize how much you were never taught, you're not alone.

BURN THE RULEBOOK MENOPAUSE SERIES EPISODE #4 | Rethinking Midlife Health with Dana Culp
Menopause is often treated like a mysterious door women suddenly walk through. One day everything feels normal. The next day your body seems to be speaking a language you do not recognize. In this episode of the Burn the Rulebook Menopause Series, Misty sits down with Dana Culp, a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner and founder of Thrive Midlife Medicine, to talk about what is really happening during perimenopause and menopause. Dana shares how her own confusing and frustrating health journey led her to specialize in midlife hormonal care after being repeatedly dismissed by healthcare providers despite working in medicine herself. That experience lit a fire in her to help women access better information, better care, and real support during this stage of life. Together Misty and Dana explore the myths, the overlooked symptoms, and the powerful shift that happens when women start advocating for themselves and learning what their bodies are truly experiencing. This conversation is both educational and deeply validating for anyone wondering why things suddenly feel different in their body. In This Episode we explore: • Why so many women feel dismissed when seeking help for perimenopause symptoms • The surprising reason Dana finally sought help during her own experience • Why menopause is technically just one day and what actually happens during perimenopause • The hormonal fluctuations that create the chaos many women experience • Why many doctors receive little education about menopause during medical training • The power imbalance that often exists between patients and medical providers • Why women need to see themselves as part of their own healthcare team • How to pre screen providers to find someone knowledgeable about midlife hormones • The biggest myths about hormone therapy including the long standing cancer misconception • Why perimenopause symptoms can begin in your thirties • The often overlooked symptoms including anxiety, brain fog, body pain, and weight changes • Why symptom tracking can be a powerful tool for understanding what is happening in your body • The three main approaches women can explore for support including hormonal, non hormonal, and lifestyle options • The importance of thinking about both immediate symptom relief and long term health A Few Powerful Takeaways One of the most important reminders Dana shares is simple but profound. It is not your fault. Many women blame themselves when their body begins to change. They assume they are not trying hard enough, eating well enough, exercising enough, or managing stress well enough. But perimenopause is a biological transition driven by hormonal shifts. Understanding what is happening can remove the shame and open the door to real support. Another key insight is the importance of curiosity and self-advocacy. Asking questions, exploring options, and building a healthcare team that listens can completely change a woman's experience during midlife. Resources Mentioned Dana offers a perimenopause quiz on her website that can help women begin identifying whether their symptoms might be connected to hormonal changes. She also shares educational resources and workshops designed to help women better understand midlife health.

BURN THE RULEBOOK MENOPAUSE SERIES EPISODE #3 |The New Body Era Loving Yourself Through Midlife Change with HEIKI YATES
I love this episode, we talk about how midlife has a way of pulling the rug out from under the body you thought you knew. Energy shifts, sleep disappears, workouts stop working, emotions feel louder. And suddenly you're wondering when you became someone you don't recognize. I sit down with Heike Yates, a midlife health, fitness, and sports nutrition coach with nearly 40 years of experience, to talk about what's actually happening in the body during perimenopause and menopause and how women can meet this season with compassion instead of self-blame. This conversation is practical, validating, and refreshingly honest. It's about working with your changing body, not fighting it. It's about nervous system support, realistic movement, medical advocacy, and redefining identity when the old rules stop working. Welcome to the new body era. In This Episode, We Explore • Why perimenopause and menopause are not a crisis but a transition • How hormonal shifts impact energy, sleep, mood, inflammation, and belly fat • When exhaustion and symptoms signal it's time to seek medical support • Why bloodwork and the right doctor matter more than pushing through • Building a personal wellness team that actually supports you • Exercise mistakes women make in midlife and what works better instead • Nervous system friendly movement, rest, breathing, and recovery • Energy drainers, energy givers, and how to protect what little energy you have • Internal boundaries and why "just say no" isn't the whole story • The grief and confusion of not feeling like yourself anymore • Reframing midlife as a rebirth and an opportunity to redefine who you are now Connect with Heike Website: https://heikeyates.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pursueyourspark Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heikeyates/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heike-yates/ Substack: https://substack.com/@heikeyates YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQIeOesGLGAOD5RhI2KYjcA Podcast - Pursue Your Spark: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pursue-your-spark-midlife-fitness-nutrition-mindset/id1231586317 Book - Pursue Your Spark: https://amzn.to/4mD5xL7  If this episode landed, share it with a woman who's been quietly carrying more than she lets on.

What you'll hear in this episode • Kelly's path from high stress work to yoga, Reiki, and community led healing • Perimenopause symptoms that feel weird and isolating, plus why we need to talk about them • Menopause and the shame gap: why society acts like women are not allowed to age • Maid, mother, crone: the reframe that turns "getting older" into getting wiser • Frozen shoulder as a menopause symptom and what women are noticing in their bodies • Emotional waves: tears, rage, irritability, and how to meet it without self judgement • Grounding practices that are simple enough for real life, not fantasy life • Advocating with healthcare providers and building a personal wellness team • The reminder every woman needs: you are not alone Kelly's Info Yoga practitioner, Reiki master, soul art journey guide Email: [email protected] Website: The Purple Olive Instagram provided: @purleolive.ca Facebook: The Purple Olive on Facebook

BURN THE RULEBOOK EPISODE #4 |The People-Pleaser and Coming Home to Your Heart with Julie Boyd
Burn the Rulebook Episode 4 gave me the opportunity to have a raw, heart-opening conversation with Julie Boyd therapist, social worker, and author of Bare Bones and Divinely Badass for a soul-stirring discussion on healing, sobriety, and the messy magic of reclaiming your life from old roles and patterns. Key Takeaways: Sobriety & Simplicity: Julie shares how quitting drinking three years ago cracked her wide open, bringing clarity and anchoring her into peace, heart-centered living, and radical honesty. What once felt like boredom was actually the sensation of peace. Burning the People-Pleaser: She unapologetically calls out the layers of people-pleasing and how it stems from early conditioning. Julie names the shift from sacrifice to true service and reflects on how she had to stop betraying herself to be liked or accepted. Real Talk on Resistance: Together, Misty and Julie challenge the concept of "resistance," exploring whether it's truly resistance or just limited capacity. Julie breaks down how perfectionism and performance keep women stuck in cycles of burnout and self-abandonment. Embodied Therapy & Nervous System Wisdom: Julie describes her unique approach to healing that blends talk therapy with somatic practices, yoga, and energy work. She guides her clients to befriend their nervous systems, connect to their hearts, and lead with self-compassion. Reclaiming Your Life After Rupture: Julie opens up about pivotal moments that cracked her open from a suicide attempt at 14, to leaving harmful relationships, to hitting rock bottom with a DUI that led her to write Bare Bones. She shares what it means to write from the rawness and live without numbing. Divinely Badass Women: Her second book Divinely Badass features interviews with women over 40 about what success really means. Spoiler alert: it's never about money or fame. It's about truth, love, community, and connection. Simple Sacred Practices: Julie emphasizes the power of small daily rituals. Her tip? Stay in bed for five minutes each morning. Breathe. Ask your heart: What's one thing I can do to fill my cup today? That's where soulful leadership starts. 💬 Soul Truth Drop: "I had to stop performing and start listening to my own damn heart. That's where the truth lives." – Julie Boyd 📚 Books Mentioned and available on Amazon: Bare Bones: Secrets, Lies, and Substances Divinely Badass 📞 Work With Julie: Connect with her on Insta: @growingwithjulieb ✨ Final Invitation: What if you lived today like it was your last? Would you rush? Perform? Or would you slow down and let your heart lead? __________ If you enjoyed the content, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a review on your favourite platform.
