The Paradigm Shift of Aging with Ayurveda in my Mind & Heart
....and a writing practice at the end
What If...
What if we saw our aging minds and bodies not as something to fix or fight—but as wise, meaningful, and full of lived experience?
What if we knew that these changes were not signs of decline, but invitations? Invitations to listen more deeply to the stories etched in our bones, the wisdom carried in our skin, the insight woven through years of joy, challenge, growth, and change?
What if we truly integrated this wisdom—honored it—and felt valued for it?
These are the questions I’ve been sitting with. A lot.
They’ve been sparked by you—the clients I have the privilege of working with. Again and again, I’m struck by your stories, your reflections, your lived experience. It blows me away. You blow me away.
You are thoughtful, wise, sincere. You are sharp, compassionate, and richly human. And yet—almost without fail—when the topic of perimenopause or menopause comes up, the conversation often veers into familiar territory:
- The signs and symptoms to “watch out for”
- How to slow, stop, or "beat" the aging process
- How to still “do it all” and “have it all”
And while these are valid concerns, what I hear beneath them is something deeper—a yearning, a questioning, a golden thread of wisdom asking to be seen, heard, and integrated.
