Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Hi and welcome to the You world order, showcase. Podcast this, I'm your host, Jill Hart. And today we have with us Vanessa Nixon, traditional nature, path and author. She loves helping empower women to thrive during midlife, using nature as their guide so that they can make this most

00:00:21.710 --> 00:00:39.819

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: important, vibrant, healthy and impactful phase of their lives through nature, natural health, natural movement, and natural beauty, here to share with us how to reframe menopause as a spiritual initiation. Welcome to the show, Vanessa. It's really great to have you here.

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:46.129

Vanessa Nixon: You, Jill. I'm really delighted to be here, and I'm excited about our conversation.

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:47.700

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.770

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: how did you get started in all of this? Because

00:00:51.260 --> 00:00:57.351

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I'm sure you didn't just wake up one day and decide. Oh, I'm just gonna help menopausal women.

00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:02.519

Vanessa Nixon: That's a great question. And there's actually 2 parts

00:01:02.530 --> 00:01:03.759

Vanessa Nixon: to that.

00:01:03.770 --> 00:01:05.430

Vanessa Nixon: My

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:18.879

Vanessa Nixon: my path in natural healing began. When I was a young woman I was chronically ill for a number of years, through my late teens and early twenties.

00:01:19.050 --> 00:01:25.100

Vanessa Nixon: and my health was degenerating. I was kind of caught in a downward spiral.

00:01:25.460 --> 00:01:36.439

Vanessa Nixon: and I was following the, you know, conventional medical wisdom, seeing doctors taking a lot of antibiotics.

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:43.430

Vanessa Nixon: and toward the end of this period I had been put on daily antibiotics for about 2 years.

00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:49.919

Vanessa Nixon: and so, as you probably know, that decimated my immune system.

00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:52.440

Vanessa Nixon: And so

00:01:52.730 --> 00:01:58.540

Vanessa Nixon: one day a friend of mine noticed that I was taking antibiotics every day, and asked why.

00:01:58.690 --> 00:02:01.090

Vanessa Nixon: and I told them the story

00:02:01.150 --> 00:02:06.410

Vanessa Nixon: of my chronic illness, which by that time had been going on for about 7 years.

00:02:06.610 --> 00:02:08.160

Vanessa Nixon: and

00:02:08.970 --> 00:02:13.620

Vanessa Nixon: and he asked me a question that nobody in all of those years had ever asked me.

00:02:13.730 --> 00:02:15.130

Vanessa Nixon: He asked me.

00:02:15.770 --> 00:02:17.429

Vanessa Nixon: well, is it helping.

00:02:18.750 --> 00:02:21.623

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, right.

00:02:23.060 --> 00:02:27.840

Vanessa Nixon: A simple question, but so important.

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.190

Vanessa Nixon: for in so many different situations for us to just stop

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:44.500

Vanessa Nixon: and ask ourselves, is it helping? I had never asked myself that question, and when I did I realized no, it was not helping. In fact, I felt.

00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:53.470

Vanessa Nixon: even at that time when I didn't know anything about health or natural healing. I felt that it was making me worse.

00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:55.280

Vanessa Nixon: and

00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:05.430

Vanessa Nixon: he said, Well, when I when I get sick I go to see an herbalist, and I'd be happy to introduce you if you're interested.

00:03:05.530 --> 00:03:08.800

Vanessa Nixon: I had never heard of herbalism.

00:03:08.980 --> 00:03:15.880

Vanessa Nixon: I didn't know there were any other options other than conventional medical care at that time.

00:03:16.390 --> 00:03:19.240

Vanessa Nixon: and so that conversation

00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:24.419

Vanessa Nixon: was a huge turning point for me, because it opened my mind

00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:30.110

Vanessa Nixon: to realizing that there were so many other options.

00:03:30.180 --> 00:03:35.459

Vanessa Nixon: It wasn't just. There was one other option. There were many other options.

00:03:35.530 --> 00:03:41.869

Vanessa Nixon: and so it was a just a huge moment of expansion for me

00:03:42.270 --> 00:03:44.900

Vanessa Nixon: in realizing that

00:03:45.250 --> 00:03:52.010

Vanessa Nixon: I had a lot more power in that situation than I had ever realized. I was a choice.

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:59.439

Vanessa Nixon: and up to that point, I'd always given the responsibility for my health to somebody else.

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.280

Vanessa Nixon: So that

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:10.610

Vanessa Nixon: moment really changed the trajectory of not only my life, but my career. I went to see the herbalist.

00:04:10.690 --> 00:04:14.659

Vanessa Nixon: I was well in a quarter of the time

00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:20.560

Vanessa Nixon: than I usually was whenever I was in about of this chronic illness.

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:25.900

Vanessa Nixon: and and I was hooked. It was like, Okay, not only is there another option.

00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:34.260

Vanessa Nixon: and not only is it working, but it's working so much faster and so much better, and I can feel the difference in my body.

00:04:34.690 --> 00:04:49.729

Vanessa Nixon: And so I started studying herbalism, and that led me to study nutrition, and then homeopathy and flower instances, and eventually I got my degree in traditional naturopathy

00:04:50.170 --> 00:04:55.779

Vanessa Nixon: as well as a master's in in herbal medicine. And

00:04:57.010 --> 00:05:02.960

Vanessa Nixon: then the second part came. When I started going through perimenopause.

00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.640

Vanessa Nixon: and by this time I had spent several decades

00:05:09.140 --> 00:05:13.019

Vanessa Nixon: elevating my health to optimal levels

00:05:13.550 --> 00:05:14.870

Vanessa Nixon: and

00:05:14.950 --> 00:05:17.860

Vanessa Nixon: had healed myself of chronic illness.

00:05:18.786 --> 00:05:22.069

Vanessa Nixon: Had been raising 3 daughters

00:05:23.024 --> 00:05:25.880

Vanessa Nixon: completely with natural medicine.

00:05:26.150 --> 00:05:27.430

Vanessa Nixon: and

00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:31.800

Vanessa Nixon: still with the knowledge and experience that I had.

00:05:31.930 --> 00:05:40.969

Vanessa Nixon: perimenopause crept up on me without my noticing, and suddenly I found myself at a time of life

00:05:41.250 --> 00:05:45.910

Vanessa Nixon: where it seemed like everything was suddenly falling apart.

00:05:46.410 --> 00:05:50.910

Vanessa Nixon: I was having erratic mood swings. I was

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:53.240

Vanessa Nixon: beyond stress.

00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:56.459

Vanessa Nixon: I was in a marriage that was failing.

00:05:56.530 --> 00:06:00.180

Vanessa Nixon: and I didn't know how to navigate that

00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:10.010

Vanessa Nixon: My! My periods had started changing, and they had always been very regular, and it took me a while

00:06:11.460 --> 00:06:20.730

Vanessa Nixon: because there were so many things going on at the same time. Also, my oldest daughter was was going off to college. So I was dealing with.

00:06:20.780 --> 00:06:31.210

Vanessa Nixon: you know, one of my children leaving the nest for the 1st time, so so many things going on on externally and internally that it took me a few months before I realized, oh.

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:37.280

Vanessa Nixon: I'm in the Menopausal journey. I'm in that phase.

00:06:37.630 --> 00:06:38.850

Vanessa Nixon: And

00:06:39.190 --> 00:06:42.659

Vanessa Nixon: once I realized that. And I took a step back.

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:51.879

Vanessa Nixon: And I realized, I have tools. I have tools to deal with this. I have techniques. I know what to do.

00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.200

Vanessa Nixon: And I also realized that I had support. I had

00:06:57.180 --> 00:06:58.920

Vanessa Nixon: cultivated this

00:06:59.020 --> 00:07:05.150

Vanessa Nixon: beautiful network of amazing women around me.

00:07:05.580 --> 00:07:08.990

Vanessa Nixon: and I could. I could lean back in that support

00:07:09.150 --> 00:07:10.315

Vanessa Nixon: and

00:07:11.900 --> 00:07:20.320

Vanessa Nixon: and ask for their support and their help in in navigating these very difficult situations. And it was those 2 things.

00:07:20.450 --> 00:07:24.199

Vanessa Nixon: the support leaning back into that support.

00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:28.050

Vanessa Nixon: and reaching out for for new support.

00:07:28.540 --> 00:07:30.299

Vanessa Nixon: as well as

00:07:31.020 --> 00:07:33.790

Vanessa Nixon: realizing that I had the tools.

00:07:34.830 --> 00:07:38.309

Vanessa Nixon: I I had the knowledge, I had the wisdom

00:07:38.490 --> 00:07:40.899

Vanessa Nixon: to know how to

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.760

Vanessa Nixon: deal with this initiation, this initiatory period of life which is

00:07:47.030 --> 00:07:49.800

Vanessa Nixon: so similar for so many women.

00:07:50.700 --> 00:07:58.910

Vanessa Nixon: And when I realized that we're all going through this. We all go through this period of life, and we all

00:07:59.640 --> 00:08:03.020

Vanessa Nixon: suddenly feel like everything is changing.

00:08:03.450 --> 00:08:13.239

Vanessa Nixon: whether things are breaking down or whether new things are happening, but it's a period of life for almost all women. Where

00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:19.349

Vanessa Nixon: we come into a new space, there's a new energy, and

00:08:20.440 --> 00:08:22.029

Vanessa Nixon: we're not prepared.

00:08:22.060 --> 00:08:25.879

Vanessa Nixon: Our culture doesn't prepare us for this.

00:08:26.230 --> 00:08:27.350

Vanessa Nixon: and

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:29.480

Vanessa Nixon: so many women

00:08:31.530 --> 00:08:34.689

Vanessa Nixon: are not prepared in their health either.

00:08:34.890 --> 00:08:39.609

Vanessa Nixon: They don't come into it, having 3 decades of working on their health like I did.

00:08:40.374 --> 00:08:43.529

Vanessa Nixon: They don't have that advantage that I had.

00:08:43.690 --> 00:08:49.079

Vanessa Nixon: And so when they come into this and all of these things start happening.

00:08:49.520 --> 00:08:52.119

Vanessa Nixon: It really feels like

00:08:52.210 --> 00:08:56.060

Vanessa Nixon: for some women. They're losing their mind, or it feels like

00:08:56.330 --> 00:08:58.220

Vanessa Nixon: their body. Just

00:08:59.470 --> 00:09:03.429

Vanessa Nixon: they don't recognize it anymore. It feels very unfamiliar.

100

00:09:03.540 --> 00:09:13.849

Vanessa Nixon: and they don't understand why, and they don't know what to do about it, and they might go to their doctor, and their doctor says just there's nothing we can do about. It's just the way it is, or.

101

00:09:13.850 --> 00:09:15.830

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Give you some antidepressants.

102

00:09:15.830 --> 00:09:20.327

Vanessa Nixon: Yes, yes, let's put you on some medication.

103

00:09:20.890 --> 00:09:22.799

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Mess up your hormones with

104

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.280

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: hormone treatments.

105

00:09:25.280 --> 00:09:29.439

Vanessa Nixon: Exactly exactly, and and they don't feel heard.

106

00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:31.689

Vanessa Nixon: They don't feel like

107

00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.239

Vanessa Nixon: their healthcare practitioners are actually listening to what they are saying. They need.

108

00:09:37.570 --> 00:09:38.650

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: No, they aren't.

109

00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:50.690

Vanessa Nixon: Right, and they and they don't feel that support, and they don't know where to go to get that support. And because nobody's talking about it. Our medical professionals aren't taught

110

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.620

Vanessa Nixon: anything about menopause.

111

00:09:55.550 --> 00:09:58.610

Vanessa Nixon: so they don't have. They don't know what to do.

112

00:09:59.290 --> 00:10:08.729

Vanessa Nixon: And I've I've I've heard a lot of doctors say, you know, they they actually would love to know what to do. They just they're they're clueless

113

00:10:09.683 --> 00:10:14.286

Vanessa Nixon: because their training was very deficient when it when it came to

114

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:19.290

Vanessa Nixon: how to support women through this period of life, and

115

00:10:19.570 --> 00:10:20.160

Vanessa Nixon: what.

116

00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:21.919

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: If it doesn't start that

117

00:10:22.150 --> 00:10:25.229

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: even when your your 1st

118

00:10:25.260 --> 00:10:36.530

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: beginning, your cycle, you're you're told to go to the doctor and he'll put you on Birth Control pills. And so that starts you down this path of medical interventions which you really don't need

119

00:10:36.875 --> 00:10:41.560

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and then you have your babies in the hospital because God forbid you have them at home

120

00:10:41.660 --> 00:10:43.160

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: like you're like.

121

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.369

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's not like you weren't equipped to have children

122

00:10:47.250 --> 00:10:54.219

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: at home. Just give on with your life. You're not. You're not sick. You're just

123

00:10:54.900 --> 00:10:58.709

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: doing what your body was designed to do. And then.

124

00:10:58.770 --> 00:11:05.139

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: as as your years go by, you're just like you hit menopause. And then, all of a sudden, you're like.

125

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:18.639

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Oh, oh, now, what do I do? So you've got all this experience of going and having these medical interventions that you think that. Okay? So I just go and get hormone replacement therapy, because obviously I'm broken

126

00:11:18.790 --> 00:11:20.300

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: rather than

127

00:11:20.390 --> 00:11:24.139

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: going to someone like you and getting actual help.

128

00:11:25.550 --> 00:11:26.150

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: moving.

129

00:11:26.150 --> 00:11:26.510

Vanessa Nixon: Tina.

130

00:11:26.510 --> 00:11:28.100

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Process naturally.

131

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:39.119

Vanessa Nixon: And I love that you. You hit on something that that I really love speaking to, and that is that especially for women.

132

00:11:39.650 --> 00:11:46.659

Vanessa Nixon: What we see is this pattern of the medical establishment pathologizing

133

00:11:46.830 --> 00:11:50.390

Vanessa Nixon: the natural phases of womanhood from

134

00:11:50.420 --> 00:11:55.119

Vanessa Nixon: 1st menarch through pregnancy, through the Menopausal journey.

135

00:11:55.400 --> 00:12:00.079

Vanessa Nixon: and those phases of life are not a disease

136

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:02.819

Vanessa Nixon: there today.

137

00:12:03.050 --> 00:12:04.140

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Were created.

138

00:12:04.140 --> 00:12:06.097

Vanessa Nixon: They're they're not

139

00:12:07.380 --> 00:12:09.090

Vanessa Nixon: They are not

140

00:12:09.450 --> 00:12:10.710

Vanessa Nixon: ailments.

141

00:12:10.970 --> 00:12:15.300

Vanessa Nixon: they are life phases. And our medical establishment.

142

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:20.009

Vanessa Nixon: and almost all the research that has been done

143

00:12:20.470 --> 00:12:24.469

Vanessa Nixon: that our medical establishment draws from are done on men.

144

00:12:24.650 --> 00:12:26.780

Vanessa Nixon: They're done on male subjects.

145

00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:38.699

Vanessa Nixon: and very little research has been done on women, and the natural cycles and rhythms and phases of life that we are supposed to go through.

146

00:12:39.110 --> 00:12:41.240

Vanessa Nixon: And so

147

00:12:42.340 --> 00:12:44.300

Vanessa Nixon: doctors aren't taught

148

00:12:45.470 --> 00:12:59.090

Vanessa Nixon: that. Yes, your your hormones are supposed to be different in different phases of life. They're not supposed to stay the same and and so we don't get that in our in our culture, we're conditioned to think that. Okay.

149

00:12:59.150 --> 00:13:06.239

Vanessa Nixon: yes, we have puberty, and our bodies change, and because our culture

150

00:13:08.290 --> 00:13:09.460

Vanessa Nixon: encourages

151

00:13:09.670 --> 00:13:17.500

Vanessa Nixon: the the the youthful twenties, early thirties. Body of a woman.

152

00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:27.769

Vanessa Nixon: Then, as we go through puberty, we look forward to those changes in our bodies, because that's what a woman is supposed to look like in our culture.

153

00:13:28.576 --> 00:13:34.600

Vanessa Nixon: But then, when we get to the other side of the the reproductive phase of life.

154

00:13:34.880 --> 00:13:39.290

Vanessa Nixon: our culture tells us, no, you're supposed to keep looking like that forever.

155

00:13:40.090 --> 00:13:43.289

Vanessa Nixon: when, of course, naturally.

156

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:54.440

Vanessa Nixon: our bodies, when they are done with the reproductive phase of life our bodies are supposed to change, because our bodies. Our hormones

157

00:13:55.250 --> 00:13:57.340

Vanessa Nixon: were that way

158

00:13:57.710 --> 00:14:00.720

Vanessa Nixon: so that we could reproduce if we chose to.

159

00:14:01.550 --> 00:14:04.409

Vanessa Nixon: You don't need the same levels of hormones.

160

00:14:04.470 --> 00:14:16.470

Vanessa Nixon: We don't need the say our bodies to function in the same way in the space of life, and that's how it's supposed to be, and that is an opportunity for us. We were taught that.

161

00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.215

Vanessa Nixon: you know. It's something

162

00:14:20.570 --> 00:14:25.380

Vanessa Nixon: that we're deficient in, you know. In fact, the medical establishment has

163

00:14:25.410 --> 00:14:29.800

Vanessa Nixon: framed menopause as a disease of deficiency.

164

00:14:31.280 --> 00:14:37.569

Vanessa Nixon: We're deficient in hormones, in menopause. It's actually framed as a state of disease.

165

00:14:37.610 --> 00:14:45.569

Vanessa Nixon: So no wonder women are confused, and don't feel supported and feel invisible, and feel like there's some.

166

00:14:45.570 --> 00:14:46.690

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Broken.

167

00:14:48.290 --> 00:14:49.230

Vanessa Nixon: They feel broke.

168

00:14:49.230 --> 00:14:49.930

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Getting.

169

00:14:50.510 --> 00:14:56.000

Vanessa Nixon: Yeah. And that's so sad that it it really is heartbreaking

170

00:14:57.020 --> 00:15:02.860

Vanessa Nixon: to to understand that that is what women are feeling.

171

00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.719

Vanessa Nixon: Many women, if not most women during this phase of life.

172

00:15:08.290 --> 00:15:16.790

Vanessa Nixon: When this is, this is natural, this is normal. This is what we're supposed to be going through. This is what we're supposed to look like.

173

00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:25.299

Vanessa Nixon: This is what our hormones are supposed to be doing. And in some cultures, especially some of the more ancient matriarchal cultures.

174

00:15:25.330 --> 00:15:28.229

Vanessa Nixon: women looked forward to this phase of life.

175

00:15:29.110 --> 00:15:30.830

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And they should.

176

00:15:31.060 --> 00:15:32.510

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's great.

177

00:15:33.530 --> 00:15:38.199

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I will. This is my favorite stage of life. I've had 5 kids.

178

00:15:38.410 --> 00:15:40.640

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I've been through the gamut

179

00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:42.830

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and I could. It's just like

180

00:15:44.270 --> 00:15:46.260

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I can regulate my moods.

181

00:15:46.760 --> 00:15:50.359

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I'm not really dependent on you know where I am in my cycle

182

00:15:50.920 --> 00:15:53.989

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: when I wake up in the morning, and

183

00:15:54.030 --> 00:16:02.819

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it's i i have so much more power at this point in my life. Part of it's because, you know, there's a certain give a

184

00:16:03.030 --> 00:16:03.810

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: flip

185

00:16:04.010 --> 00:16:06.919

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: aspect to it when you reach this point.

186

00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:18.310

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: because you're done with the child bearing years, and and you're done with having to try to find that partner to to reproduce with. And you know we are human beings

187

00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:26.370

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: we are. We do have some instincts for reproduction. We need them to like, continue on with

188

00:16:26.510 --> 00:16:27.400

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: the

189

00:16:27.870 --> 00:16:30.350

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: the species. But

190

00:16:30.650 --> 00:16:32.760

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you get to a point where

191

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:33.670

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: that

192

00:16:33.800 --> 00:16:54.941

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: that was before. And now this is, that's opportunity. And it's really a great opportunity for women to just step into who they were really designed to be. It's not the end of your life. It's really the beginning, which I think is what you're all about. It's the initiation into chrome. Them.

193

00:16:55.340 --> 00:17:04.674

Vanessa Nixon: Yes, yes, and you know there are, as I said, other cultures that really revere this period of life because they understand that.

194

00:17:05.596 --> 00:17:07.620

Vanessa Nixon: You know, as women.

195

00:17:07.750 --> 00:17:13.229

Vanessa Nixon: we have gone through so many things in our life. We have been

196

00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.049

Vanessa Nixon: in positions of leadership, in

197

00:17:17.130 --> 00:17:26.739

Vanessa Nixon: whether we had children, whether we were in a career. All of the experiences we've had. We're now in this position of of holding wisdom, of being the matriarchs.

198

00:17:26.750 --> 00:17:31.010

Vanessa Nixon: and in some societies, you know.

199

00:17:31.350 --> 00:17:33.300

Vanessa Nixon: That is why

200

00:17:33.710 --> 00:17:52.990

Vanessa Nixon: young girls looked forward to this. They knew that they were going to be in a place of leadership, of wisdom. They were going to be the elders of the community, and those were the people who were looked up to in society. Those were the the people that

201

00:17:53.590 --> 00:18:00.079

Vanessa Nixon: the community went to for answers, for support, for leadership.

202

00:18:00.270 --> 00:18:01.550

Vanessa Nixon: And

203

00:18:02.020 --> 00:18:05.729

Vanessa Nixon: unfortunately, our society is not like that. And I think that's

204

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:13.709

Vanessa Nixon: You know why, talking about menopause has been such a taboo subject.

205

00:18:14.470 --> 00:18:34.870

Vanessa Nixon: Because that doesn't quite fit with the patriarchal structure of our society, and I think it's time to change that it's time to start having the conversation. It's time to start the dialogue. And what you said about this being your favorite phase of your life. That's so true for so many women, once they

206

00:18:34.950 --> 00:18:42.699

Vanessa Nixon: start to understand. This is this is an opportunity in traditional Chinese medicine. They call it the second spring.

207

00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:47.640

Vanessa Nixon: which is that it's a rebirth. It's like this is the second.

208

00:18:47.650 --> 00:18:53.789

Vanessa Nixon: 3, rd or for some woman the second half of your life you might have a whole other half of your life.

209

00:18:54.460 --> 00:19:03.640

Vanessa Nixon: and for many women this is the 1st time in their lives that they are able to focus on themselves, and what they want to do with their life.

210

00:19:04.040 --> 00:19:06.290

Vanessa Nixon: The 1st half was all about.

211

00:19:06.690 --> 00:19:17.880

Vanessa Nixon: maybe education, maybe building a career, maybe having a family finding a partner. All of your energy was focused outward.

212

00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:24.470

Vanessa Nixon: And for many women this is the very 1st time they can actually reflect

213

00:19:24.530 --> 00:19:28.910

Vanessa Nixon: and be introspective and focus inward. On

214

00:19:29.270 --> 00:19:33.909

Vanessa Nixon: what gifts do I have that I want to bring to the world.

215

00:19:34.040 --> 00:19:40.159

Vanessa Nixon: Now that I have done all of this nurturing and support. How can I nurture

216

00:19:40.250 --> 00:19:43.740

Vanessa Nixon: myself? How can I nurture my talents.

217

00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.649

Vanessa Nixon: How can I use this rebirth

218

00:19:46.850 --> 00:19:48.320

Vanessa Nixon: and this

219

00:19:49.220 --> 00:20:10.079

Vanessa Nixon: this creative source energy that used to go into reproduction? Now we still have that same energy we still have that womb space, whether we have a physical womb anymore or not. Whether a woman has had a hysterectomy. She still has this, this womb space that is the seat of her creativity.

220

00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:13.480

Vanessa Nixon: And we can use that energy to birth

221

00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:17.769

Vanessa Nixon: projects, new careers, books.

222

00:20:18.110 --> 00:20:20.690

Vanessa Nixon: communities.

223

00:20:21.830 --> 00:20:24.449

Vanessa Nixon: and our life's work.

224

00:20:24.800 --> 00:20:26.970

Vanessa Nixon: You know this can be such

225

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:31.149

Vanessa Nixon: a beautiful, productive, impactful time.

226

00:20:31.230 --> 00:20:34.559

Vanessa Nixon: And I think that is what this time of life is.

227

00:20:34.570 --> 00:20:37.480

Vanessa Nixon: truly for. It's for women

228

00:20:37.800 --> 00:20:38.920

Vanessa Nixon: to

229

00:20:39.340 --> 00:20:43.930

Vanessa Nixon: really comprehend the depth of their power

230

00:20:44.070 --> 00:20:48.140

Vanessa Nixon: and their unique magic and their wisdom.

231

00:20:48.510 --> 00:20:53.779

Vanessa Nixon: And how can we bring that into the world and make the world a better place with it?

232

00:20:54.900 --> 00:21:01.449

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Oh, I love that so much. It's just like it. It speaks to legacy building, which is just

233

00:21:02.060 --> 00:21:15.299

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: whether you have children, and you leave a legacy through your children, or you don't have children. We are all here in in the creative process, where we are leaving a legacy of some sort, whether

234

00:21:15.350 --> 00:21:19.380

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you know it's through connections with other people. And

235

00:21:20.030 --> 00:21:24.890

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: we all have spiritual children, whether they're physical children or just

236

00:21:25.370 --> 00:21:30.009

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: people that we meet, that we interact with. They become

237

00:21:30.230 --> 00:21:32.029

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: part of who we are.

238

00:21:32.050 --> 00:21:34.140

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and they carry on our message

239

00:21:34.750 --> 00:21:38.232

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: in the future. I know you've written a book

240

00:21:39.760 --> 00:21:48.309

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: metamorphosis, rituals, spells, and natural remedies for perimid and postmenopausal women.

241

00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:52.410

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You want to talk about that a little bit. I love the name of the book just.

242

00:21:52.410 --> 00:21:52.830

Vanessa Nixon: Thank you.

243

00:21:52.830 --> 00:21:57.150

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Right off the bat. It speaks to me.

244

00:21:57.840 --> 00:22:00.999

Vanessa Nixon: Well, and I wanted it to speak to that

245

00:22:01.590 --> 00:22:06.779

Vanessa Nixon: that magical energy and the the metamorphosis

246

00:22:06.910 --> 00:22:10.869

Vanessa Nixon: of our menopause, because it really is that

247

00:22:10.950 --> 00:22:18.210

Vanessa Nixon: going into the chrysalis and feeling like everything's breaking apart or turning into goo.

248

00:22:18.590 --> 00:22:33.110

Vanessa Nixon: But it needs to do that in order to reform into this butterfly, into this beautiful new phase of life, and I think that when we understand that as women, it's a lot easier to navigate

249

00:22:34.020 --> 00:22:38.484

Vanessa Nixon: it, then then, if you have no idea what's happening and

250

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:56.320

Vanessa Nixon: and because this is a natural phase, because our body is meant to do this, our body knows what to do. Our body knows how to help us through this. If we can lean back into our own wisdom, into that innate body wisdom we all have, and into that

251

00:22:57.330 --> 00:22:59.590

Vanessa Nixon: ancestral knowledge that

252

00:22:59.860 --> 00:23:03.359

Vanessa Nixon: you know, generations and generations ago

253

00:23:03.820 --> 00:23:07.130

Vanessa Nixon: all women had this wisdom

254

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:12.099

Vanessa Nixon: of how to use the plants, how to use food, how to use nature

255

00:23:12.170 --> 00:23:13.540

Vanessa Nixon: as medicine.

256

00:23:14.330 --> 00:23:17.410

Vanessa Nixon: and I think we all have that ancestral memory

257

00:23:17.870 --> 00:23:20.540

Vanessa Nixon: of that, that innate knowledge.

258

00:23:20.660 --> 00:23:23.300

Vanessa Nixon: And so this book is about

259

00:23:23.620 --> 00:23:25.259

Vanessa Nixon: helping us remember

260

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:29.749

Vanessa Nixon: helping us remember how to

261

00:23:31.290 --> 00:23:38.610

Vanessa Nixon: to eat healing foods, how to use herbs as medicine, how to use

262

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:39.990

Vanessa Nixon: energy.

263

00:23:40.590 --> 00:23:47.919

Vanessa Nixon: how to align ourselves, how to move our bodies in natural ways, ways that are natural to us

264

00:23:47.970 --> 00:23:50.170

Vanessa Nixon: to keep that energy flowing.

265

00:23:50.340 --> 00:23:57.060

Vanessa Nixon: And so you know, it touches on all of those various aspects of

266

00:23:57.280 --> 00:24:13.060

Vanessa Nixon: different natural modalities, whether it's nutrition or herbs or homeopathy, flower essences, energy practices. I talk a little bit about belly dance, because that's 1 of the things I have my expertise in

267

00:24:13.490 --> 00:24:15.209

Vanessa Nixon: as a

268

00:24:16.140 --> 00:24:23.310

Vanessa Nixon: as a very ancient cultural practice that was designed for a woman's body to help her through

269

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:26.530

Vanessa Nixon: these phases that she navigates

270

00:24:27.540 --> 00:24:28.460

Vanessa Nixon: and

271

00:24:28.570 --> 00:24:34.349

Vanessa Nixon: so, whether it's belly dance, whether it's yoga, whether it's Tai Chi, whether it's gardening, you know.

272

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:50.110

Vanessa Nixon: really moving our bodies, getting our energy moving on, sticking those stuck places so that we can continue to go through those cycles that we go through, even after our menstrual cycle has

273

00:24:50.300 --> 00:24:58.649

Vanessa Nixon: stopped. We are still cyclical beings. We still have rhythms that we go through, whether it's the lunar cycle.

274

00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:04.789

Vanessa Nixon: whether it's the seasonal cycles of nature when we can

275

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:07.780

Vanessa Nixon: be in tune with

276

00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:10.020

Vanessa Nixon: who we are as

277

00:25:10.320 --> 00:25:11.979

Vanessa Nixon: as a woman.

278

00:25:12.330 --> 00:25:15.649

Vanessa Nixon: and when we can listen to those messages.

279

00:25:15.750 --> 00:25:21.549

Vanessa Nixon: and that knowledge that comes through our intuition and use nature

280

00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.439

Vanessa Nixon: as our guide. Through all of these phases.

281

00:25:25.470 --> 00:25:31.209

Vanessa Nixon: then we can really find this higher optimal level of health

282

00:25:32.620 --> 00:25:37.500

Vanessa Nixon: that supports us to bring our dreams and

283

00:25:37.950 --> 00:25:41.910

Vanessa Nixon: creations into the world in a really powerful way.

284

00:25:42.820 --> 00:25:44.320

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It makes you happy.

285

00:25:45.620 --> 00:25:48.699

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Happiness, element to to just

286

00:25:48.890 --> 00:25:52.229

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: being able to be and and to

287

00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.120

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: to sit in the energy that is you.

288

00:25:56.830 --> 00:25:59.180

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You're not broken, you're enough.

289

00:25:59.360 --> 00:26:01.679

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You're created perfectly.

290

00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:05.469

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Just allow it to be okay. And.

291

00:26:06.120 --> 00:26:10.490

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I. I have to comment on this. You probably already know this.

292

00:26:10.690 --> 00:26:18.850

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: but your name means butterfly, and when you start talking about metamorphosis and crystallis and stuff. It's like.

293

00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:20.500

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: yes.

294

00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:25.509

Vanessa Nixon: I do know. I do know that. In fact, when I was a little girl

295

00:26:26.264 --> 00:26:34.755

Vanessa Nixon: my mother had a bookshelf, and you know, back. Then everybody had a set of encyclopedias and a dictionary, and

296

00:26:35.650 --> 00:26:47.029

Vanessa Nixon: and my mother had this really thick dictionary, and the front of it was a regular dictionary, and in the back it had different kinds of dictionaries, and one was a name dictionary.

297

00:26:47.440 --> 00:27:03.280

Vanessa Nixon: and I loved going through the name dictionary. And yes, I always looked up. My name Vanessa is Greek, and it means butterfly, and so I've always had a fascination with butterflies, and in fact, the

298

00:27:03.800 --> 00:27:12.049

Vanessa Nixon: the image on the front cover of is of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis.

299

00:27:12.744 --> 00:27:18.675

Vanessa Nixon: And so it does have that double meaning of. Yes, that's me.

300

00:27:19.190 --> 00:27:21.989

Vanessa Nixon: and that's that's, I think

301

00:27:22.040 --> 00:27:26.290

Vanessa Nixon: it's so perfect, because that's that's what my work is all about.

302

00:27:26.740 --> 00:27:31.630

Vanessa Nixon: And that's what this phase is all about is that menomorphosis

303

00:27:31.780 --> 00:27:34.550

Vanessa Nixon: that we all go through that we are

304

00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.890

Vanessa Nixon: at this

305

00:27:36.050 --> 00:27:38.270

Vanessa Nixon: moment in history.

306

00:27:38.780 --> 00:27:49.260

Vanessa Nixon: We have the opportunity to go through, because just 200 years ago, the average lifespan of a woman here in the United States was like 35 years old.

307

00:27:49.290 --> 00:27:54.449

Vanessa Nixon: so millions and millions of women throughout history have not had the opportunity

308

00:27:54.490 --> 00:27:58.090

Vanessa Nixon: to go through this very powerful initiation.

309

00:27:58.090 --> 00:28:02.389

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: That a lot of them that did in the past. They were killed

310

00:28:02.790 --> 00:28:05.909

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: because they had this innate wisdom

311

00:28:06.020 --> 00:28:07.570

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: that threatened

312

00:28:07.670 --> 00:28:20.330

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: the patriarchy, and so many women were incarcerated because of. They called them mentally ill, and they did all kinds of like torturous things to women.

313

00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:29.789

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: because when you reach a certain point in your life menopause you, you become somebody else.

314

00:28:29.930 --> 00:28:33.610

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's not even a choice. You you just

315

00:28:34.150 --> 00:28:42.680

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you. Your body just moves you into the next phase, just as a young girl is not a teenager

316

00:28:42.970 --> 00:28:44.250

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: is not

317

00:28:44.770 --> 00:28:46.619

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: a young woman.

318

00:28:47.710 --> 00:28:49.720

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: They they change

319

00:28:49.940 --> 00:28:52.110

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: physically, they change, but

320

00:28:52.650 --> 00:29:06.469

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: who they are, changes fundamentally, and as you get older you change some more. We are never the same being. From day to day. We change every day, and

321

00:29:07.110 --> 00:29:08.460

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it's just it's

322

00:29:09.990 --> 00:29:13.990

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you've become so much more powerful. I there's just like.

323

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:23.420

Vanessa Nixon: Yes, yes, I love that. You're speaking to this. And I you know I think about this evolution as you're becoming more and more of yourself.

324

00:29:23.690 --> 00:29:24.240

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: God.

325

00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:25.780

Vanessa Nixon: Who you really are.

326

00:29:26.810 --> 00:29:31.029

Vanessa Nixon: and sometimes we have to shed all of the

327

00:29:31.090 --> 00:29:33.510

Vanessa Nixon: things that have been placed upon us

328

00:29:34.350 --> 00:29:38.810

Vanessa Nixon: by society, by family, by.

329

00:29:38.900 --> 00:29:42.500

Vanessa Nixon: you know, whatever we've experienced in our lives.

330

00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:51.470

Vanessa Nixon: And this this process of of menopause is a process of shedding all of that old outdated.

331

00:29:51.900 --> 00:29:57.380

Vanessa Nixon: inauthentic, untrue layers that aren't really us.

332

00:29:58.130 --> 00:30:00.460

Vanessa Nixon: And finally, you know.

333

00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:14.600

Vanessa Nixon: getting rid of all that goo in this little, the safe chrysalis getting rid of all of it, and then coming out as this beautiful new being that truly is who you are, authentically.

334

00:30:14.990 --> 00:30:27.069

Vanessa Nixon: And and it's not to say that that's an easy process, because for many women, I mean, when think about the caterpillar going into the cocoon and turning to Goo.

335

00:30:27.130 --> 00:30:44.720

Vanessa Nixon: That can't feel great, you know. That probably is very confusing, and might be very difficult. And so I'm not saying that that symptoms that women are having are not real, that it's all just, you know, butterflies all the time.

336

00:30:44.750 --> 00:30:46.870

Vanessa Nixon: It's an initiation

337

00:30:47.140 --> 00:30:54.920

Vanessa Nixon: with everything that goes with the you know the fire that goes with, along with that initiation

338

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:56.180

Vanessa Nixon: and

339

00:30:57.980 --> 00:31:04.149

Vanessa Nixon: our innate wisdom. Our bodies give us messages to help us know

340

00:31:04.250 --> 00:31:06.719

Vanessa Nixon: how to navigate

341

00:31:06.800 --> 00:31:11.959

Vanessa Nixon: all of those symptoms. We might be having issues that might come up.

342

00:31:12.150 --> 00:31:17.029

Vanessa Nixon: and nature provides for us so many tools.

343

00:31:17.150 --> 00:31:21.259

Vanessa Nixon: so many resources, so many techniques

344

00:31:21.610 --> 00:31:24.459

Vanessa Nixon: to help us to use

345

00:31:24.710 --> 00:31:26.540

Vanessa Nixon: these things that come up

346

00:31:27.210 --> 00:31:29.860

Vanessa Nixon: to expand ourselves even more

347

00:31:30.150 --> 00:31:33.629

Vanessa Nixon: into more power, more confidence.

348

00:31:33.730 --> 00:31:35.520

Vanessa Nixon: more impact.

349

00:31:35.730 --> 00:31:38.979

Vanessa Nixon: more of of who we are to bring to the world.

350

00:31:40.170 --> 00:31:46.630

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And I love that this is happening now, because the young women who are coming up now

351

00:31:46.710 --> 00:31:53.159

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: are are starting to see older women stepping into. Hey?

352

00:31:53.650 --> 00:31:55.874

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You're just starting, baby.

353

00:31:56.570 --> 00:32:00.359

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You have so much to look forward to in your life.

354

00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:02.550

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: because, look.

355

00:32:02.570 --> 00:32:08.859

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: look what you can, which you have to look forward to. It's not. You're not just like.

356

00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:13.489

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: okay. This is the pinnacle of my life. I better grab all the gusto while I got it.

357

00:32:13.620 --> 00:32:14.280

Vanessa Nixon: Right.

358

00:32:14.470 --> 00:32:18.640

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You're gonna have so much more. And it's different from men

359

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:23.280

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: men. They kind of peak around 25 to 30,

360

00:32:23.390 --> 00:32:24.480

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and

361

00:32:25.070 --> 00:32:27.409

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it doesn't get any better than that for them.

362

00:32:28.081 --> 00:32:37.700

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Everything else becomes a struggle. They they have different things, and they have different hormone cycles. And it's not that men are bad or anything. It's just. They're different.

363

00:32:38.300 --> 00:32:43.429

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and they will never understand or experience the the majesty

364

00:32:43.550 --> 00:32:46.599

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: of becoming an older woman

365

00:32:47.130 --> 00:32:51.670

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: or the the cycle of life of a woman. It's it's

366

00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:55.480

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it's such a gift to be a woman.

367

00:32:56.310 --> 00:32:59.989

Vanessa Nixon: It is, it is! It's it's a wonderful gift. And

368

00:33:00.010 --> 00:33:23.197

Vanessa Nixon: and men are wonderful. And yes, their physiology is different, and their cycles are are the cycles that they go through in their lives are very different. And you know they go through. You know, an andropause is you know what it's called technically as well. But it is different. It's different from from what women go through. And

369

00:33:25.010 --> 00:33:25.670

Vanessa Nixon: The

370

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:30.660

Vanessa Nixon: the cyclical nature of a woman is very unique.

371

00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:33.200

Vanessa Nixon: And it's

372

00:33:33.530 --> 00:33:38.200

Vanessa Nixon: one of the reasons women, I believe, are so resilient

373

00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:39.590

Vanessa Nixon: and

374

00:33:39.930 --> 00:33:43.680

Vanessa Nixon: are innately so powerful is because

375

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:46.660

Vanessa Nixon: throughout our entire lives

376

00:33:46.870 --> 00:33:53.009

Vanessa Nixon: we have to traverse these cycles we have to adapt, we have to be flexible.

377

00:33:53.370 --> 00:33:59.919

Vanessa Nixon: and that is what creates strength and resilience is being adaptable

378

00:34:00.210 --> 00:34:02.290

Vanessa Nixon: to different circumstances.

379

00:34:02.420 --> 00:34:06.440

Vanessa Nixon: you know, being able. You know our bodies adapting to

380

00:34:07.919 --> 00:34:13.110

Vanessa Nixon: you know what happens during adolescence during 1st men arc

381

00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:18.129

Vanessa Nixon: what happens to our bodies during pregnancy and postpartum?

382

00:34:18.150 --> 00:34:28.669

Vanessa Nixon: And what happens to our bodies during perimenopause and menopause and post menopause. All of those changes strengthen us

383

00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:36.699

Vanessa Nixon: and create more and more resilience. As we mature, we get more resilient, and

384

00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:40.489

Vanessa Nixon: and we so our bodies are strengthened

385

00:34:40.580 --> 00:34:43.240

Vanessa Nixon: and we become more empowered.

386

00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:44.949

Vanessa Nixon: And

387

00:34:45.469 --> 00:34:46.439

Vanessa Nixon: one

388

00:34:48.090 --> 00:34:52.269

Vanessa Nixon: One tidbit of information that I heard once that I just loved was

389

00:34:52.290 --> 00:34:53.520

Vanessa Nixon: about.

390

00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:55.389

Vanessa Nixon: How

391

00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:04.240

Vanessa Nixon: one of the reasons that ancient cultures believed women were so powerful at this time of life is because

392

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:13.080

Vanessa Nixon: they were giving their their magic, their healing through their menstrual blood

393

00:35:13.200 --> 00:35:14.670

Vanessa Nixon: throughout their lives.

394

00:35:14.890 --> 00:35:20.739

Vanessa Nixon: They're giving it out to their communities, their families, their children. They're giving of themselves.

395

00:35:21.120 --> 00:35:29.530

Vanessa Nixon: But after menopause they retain that power and that magic, and they hold it within

396

00:35:29.590 --> 00:35:32.950

Vanessa Nixon: so that they can be

397

00:35:34.060 --> 00:35:35.959

Vanessa Nixon: such powerful leaders

398

00:35:36.310 --> 00:35:38.220

Vanessa Nixon: so that they can

399

00:35:38.370 --> 00:35:40.590

Vanessa Nixon: spread such

400

00:35:40.700 --> 00:35:46.080

Vanessa Nixon: powerful magic in the world so that they can truly use

401

00:35:46.150 --> 00:35:49.100

Vanessa Nixon: their creativity with such impact.

402

00:35:50.420 --> 00:35:53.100

Vanessa Nixon: And I love that concept

403

00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:56.220

Vanessa Nixon: that once we hold our blood within

404

00:35:56.530 --> 00:36:00.100

Vanessa Nixon: that creates such power that we can really

405

00:36:00.430 --> 00:36:01.750

Vanessa Nixon: change the world.

406

00:36:03.820 --> 00:36:05.610

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: We are changing the world.

407

00:36:06.210 --> 00:36:07.990

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's it's happening.

408

00:36:08.030 --> 00:36:09.200

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So

409

00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:12.230

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you work with people do, or women

410

00:36:12.615 --> 00:36:16.200

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: in groups, one on one. How how does all that work.

411

00:36:16.200 --> 00:36:22.609

Vanessa Nixon: One on one I have. I have 3 different branches of my business, the natural health.

412

00:36:22.680 --> 00:36:36.689

Vanessa Nixon: and then the natural beauty. I have my own natural cosmetic line, and then the natural movement piece is through the belly dance classes that I teach but mostly when I

413

00:36:36.890 --> 00:36:46.539

Vanessa Nixon: mostly I work with women, one to one, and I help them to weave all of these things together, to create a really strong foundation for their health.

414

00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:49.840

Vanessa Nixon: and help them to navigate these

415

00:36:50.649 --> 00:37:03.510

Vanessa Nixon: initiations, to traverse these waters that are very unfamiliar for most of us in our culture, because we haven't been prepared. And so

416

00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:06.270

Vanessa Nixon: that way.

417

00:37:06.310 --> 00:37:15.519

Vanessa Nixon: we can really do the deep work we can really look at what's underneath everything that's going on, and be able to

418

00:37:15.570 --> 00:37:23.410

Vanessa Nixon: create that resilience and that strength and so we usually, you know, start with

419

00:37:23.550 --> 00:37:29.319

Vanessa Nixon: nurturing yourself. How are how? How do you nurture yourself? Not only with food and drink, but

420

00:37:29.540 --> 00:37:39.349

Vanessa Nixon: in what you absorb in your environment, what you watch on your screens like, how are you nourishing yourself.

421

00:37:39.580 --> 00:37:41.930

Vanessa Nixon: body, mind, and soul?

422

00:37:42.570 --> 00:37:52.030

Vanessa Nixon: And then how can we use these other natural supports, whether they're herbs or homeopathic remedies, or energy practices or movement?

423

00:37:52.140 --> 00:37:56.010

Vanessa Nixon: How can we use all of these things to support

424

00:37:56.140 --> 00:37:58.640

Vanessa Nixon: your health, to elevate it.

425

00:37:58.860 --> 00:38:03.950

Vanessa Nixon: to help you to find those stuck places.

426

00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:09.150

Vanessa Nixon: Clear them out. Listen to that intuition, strengthen

427

00:38:09.310 --> 00:38:11.799

Vanessa Nixon: the that inner voice.

428

00:38:12.010 --> 00:38:16.559

Vanessa Nixon: so that you can hear the messages that your body's sending you really clearly.

429

00:38:16.680 --> 00:38:20.460

Vanessa Nixon: and then be able to follow that up with with action.

430

00:38:21.680 --> 00:38:29.969

Vanessa Nixon: so you can hear what your soul and your spirit really wants to bring out to the world and have a healthy body to.

431

00:38:29.990 --> 00:38:36.829

Vanessa Nixon: to fulfill it, to fulfill that that mission. You know we all have a dream. We all have a mission. We all have a purpose.

432

00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:44.490

Vanessa Nixon: and it's a lot easier to fulfill that if we have a healthy body, strong, healthy body to enable us to do that.

433

00:38:45.540 --> 00:38:50.180

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's really not as hard as it might sound. No matter when you're starting.

434

00:38:50.380 --> 00:38:52.359

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it's just start.

435

00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:56.999

Vanessa Nixon: It can be easy, and it can be simple. I mean, the steps are simple.

436

00:38:57.530 --> 00:38:58.720

Vanessa Nixon: and

437

00:38:58.850 --> 00:39:10.220

Vanessa Nixon: you know I I came from chronic illness where really my health had deteriorated to to a point that I had very little immune immune system that was functioning.

438

00:39:10.220 --> 00:39:10.900

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah.

439

00:39:10.900 --> 00:39:20.609

Vanessa Nixon: And in a very short period of time I was able to turn that around, taking a few simple steps. So yes, it can sound very complex.

440

00:39:20.690 --> 00:39:21.780

Vanessa Nixon: and

441

00:39:22.340 --> 00:39:35.040

Vanessa Nixon: that's 1 of the reasons I like to work with women, one to one, so that we can break it down and personalize it to exactly what's going on with that individual woman

442

00:39:35.680 --> 00:39:42.030

Vanessa Nixon: and say, Okay, well, here's the 1st step. Let's just start here. Here's a second step, the 3rd step.

443

00:39:42.130 --> 00:39:43.340

Vanessa Nixon: and

444

00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:56.340

Vanessa Nixon: and combine it together in a way that it doesn't feel like. Oh, this is so much work this is! I've got so many things to do already that you know. That's 1 of the things that I think stops women, is, it? Feels overwhelming.

445

00:39:57.190 --> 00:39:57.720

Vanessa Nixon: Oh.

446

00:39:57.720 --> 00:39:58.830

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: The idea.

447

00:39:58.830 --> 00:40:09.280

Vanessa Nixon: Way I eat. I'm gonna have to change the way I exercise. I'm going to have to change everything, but really just making it simple, going step by step

448

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:23.200

Vanessa Nixon: and weaving it together in a way that feels good instead of feels overwhelming. That's a a really important part of making any change or shift in your life, is

449

00:40:23.350 --> 00:40:27.080

Vanessa Nixon: it it you need to? It needs to align.

450

00:40:27.820 --> 00:40:32.310

Vanessa Nixon: You need to have that energetic alignment with it, and once everything aligns.

451

00:40:33.010 --> 00:40:34.840

Vanessa Nixon: It's so much smoother.

452

00:40:35.910 --> 00:40:45.675

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And your body will tell you. Hey, this is working, or Hey, this isn't working. Instead of having to wait for somebody to come along and ask you, is it working.

453

00:40:45.990 --> 00:40:52.220

Vanessa Nixon: Exactly exactly right. And that's why we need that connection to our intuition.

454

00:40:52.220 --> 00:40:52.640

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And.

455

00:40:52.640 --> 00:40:55.129

Vanessa Nixon: That we can hear our body when it says.

456

00:40:55.560 --> 00:41:01.120

Vanessa Nixon: no, that thing is not right. But this, this is this is the thing that's right. And

457

00:41:01.430 --> 00:41:03.050

Vanessa Nixon: and really

458

00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:06.110

Vanessa Nixon: it's so empowering

459

00:41:07.190 --> 00:41:09.550

Vanessa Nixon: when we understand that

460

00:41:09.810 --> 00:41:11.110

Vanessa Nixon: we know.

461

00:41:11.820 --> 00:41:13.839

Vanessa Nixon: you know, we have the answers.

462

00:41:15.170 --> 00:41:18.499

Vanessa Nixon: It's it's helpful to have support

463

00:41:19.010 --> 00:41:28.570

Vanessa Nixon: to be able to hear those answers when we are dealing with some challenging things, but it really comes from inside you.

464

00:41:29.390 --> 00:41:30.620

Vanessa Nixon: Sometimes you.

465

00:41:30.620 --> 00:41:32.800

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Somebody that says, yes.

466

00:41:33.570 --> 00:41:36.010

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: what you're hearing from your body

467

00:41:36.430 --> 00:41:42.930

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: is real. You can listen to it. Sometimes. We just need permission to listen to ourselves.

468

00:41:43.140 --> 00:41:48.020

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and you can't get that unless you go to someone else, because

469

00:41:48.150 --> 00:41:51.010

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: we need community. And

470

00:41:51.080 --> 00:41:58.730

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you know you talk about an initiation and yes, butterflies go into their chrysalis, but it's

471

00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:00.699

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and they're by themselves.

472

00:42:01.310 --> 00:42:02.190

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: but

473

00:42:02.520 --> 00:42:05.930

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: they're still in the world. They're not like

474

00:42:07.820 --> 00:42:16.889

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: going into something away from the environment. They they hang their things on trees, and you know they're still part of

475

00:42:16.970 --> 00:42:19.210

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: of what's happening around them. But

476

00:42:19.600 --> 00:42:20.720

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: when you're

477

00:42:21.600 --> 00:42:25.680

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: when you're going through changes like this, it's so

478

00:42:25.860 --> 00:42:27.520

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: much more

479

00:42:27.810 --> 00:42:29.929

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: impactful and helpful

480

00:42:30.140 --> 00:42:35.109

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: to have other women who are in the same situation, to

481

00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:45.300

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: to just sound as a sounding board. Because sometimes you think things when you're when your hormones are all changing, that you're not really sure is this

482

00:42:45.790 --> 00:42:47.290

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: is this right?

483

00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:52.709

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Because I don't know. I haven't traveled this path before, am I on? Am I still on the path?

484

00:42:53.070 --> 00:42:57.310

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And just to have somebody say, Yeah, yeah, that's totally normal.

485

00:42:57.740 --> 00:42:59.139

Vanessa Nixon: It's separate

486

00:42:59.650 --> 00:43:09.390

Vanessa Nixon: as women. We are wired for that. We're wired for community. We're wired for collaboration we're in. We're wired for cooperation.

487

00:43:09.560 --> 00:43:15.680

Vanessa Nixon: Community is so important, and that's 1 of the reasons that I, you know, bring up that the

488

00:43:15.690 --> 00:43:30.319

Vanessa Nixon: the 2 things that were key for me going through my Menopausal journey were not only that, you know, I had these tools, and I just needed to remember to use them, but the support from my community of women was

489

00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:33.169

Vanessa Nixon: really instrumental in

490

00:43:33.510 --> 00:43:38.680

Vanessa Nixon: in navigating the things that I needed to navigate in my situation.

491

00:43:39.890 --> 00:43:40.470

Vanessa Nixon: It made.

492

00:43:40.470 --> 00:43:41.220

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's

493

00:43:41.690 --> 00:43:45.450

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: sometimes it's just nice to have somebody say, No, you're not really crazy.

494

00:43:45.940 --> 00:43:46.350

Vanessa Nixon: Oh, man!

495

00:43:46.350 --> 00:43:50.099

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Because you can. You can start to think I'm going crazy.

496

00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:54.790

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I'm having these thoughts, and I don't know where they're coming from. And

497

00:43:55.690 --> 00:43:56.489

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: even if you.

498

00:43:56.490 --> 00:43:56.910

Vanessa Nixon: Had.

499

00:43:56.910 --> 00:43:59.100

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Done years of of

500

00:44:00.020 --> 00:44:02.639

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: self-care. It it just.

501

00:44:03.480 --> 00:44:09.719

Vanessa Nixon: I've had women. Say I I feel like I'm losing my mind. I I like I am going crazy, and

502

00:44:09.970 --> 00:44:16.330

Vanessa Nixon: we and we can feel like that if we don't, because we like you said we haven't been through this yet.

503

00:44:16.560 --> 00:44:19.830

Vanessa Nixon: This isn't a life experience we've had yet, and because

504

00:44:19.860 --> 00:44:25.650

Vanessa Nixon: we don't talk about it. In our culture we don't know what to expect. And so yes, just having

505

00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:30.000

Vanessa Nixon: other women who have walked that path

506

00:44:30.350 --> 00:44:32.830

Vanessa Nixon: to support you.

507

00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:36.170

Vanessa Nixon: just to be able to talk, to have these conversations.

508

00:44:36.240 --> 00:44:43.489

Vanessa Nixon: to have the dialogue. Younger women need to know what to expect, so they can prepare themselves.

509

00:44:44.050 --> 00:44:44.490

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And women.

510

00:44:44.490 --> 00:44:49.090

Vanessa Nixon: Who are going through it now need that support as they're going through it.

511

00:44:49.210 --> 00:44:50.430

Vanessa Nixon: And

512

00:44:50.610 --> 00:44:54.829

Vanessa Nixon: you know those of us who have been through this, and who have

513

00:44:54.930 --> 00:44:59.129

Vanessa Nixon: been able to take the opportunity to see what a gift it is.

514

00:45:00.160 --> 00:45:04.110

Vanessa Nixon: have so much to lend to younger women.

515

00:45:04.510 --> 00:45:09.800

Vanessa Nixon: not only where they are now but to help them walk through their own journeys.

516

00:45:10.500 --> 00:45:12.010

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: For sure. I

517

00:45:12.940 --> 00:45:23.050

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: yeah. I remember asking my mom about it when I 1st started into it. And she was like, Yeah, your aunt and I still have hot flashes, and she was in her, you know.

518

00:45:23.060 --> 00:45:25.250

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: early seventies, and like

519

00:45:25.620 --> 00:45:29.579

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Oh! And that was all the information she gave me about it.

520

00:45:29.990 --> 00:45:31.090

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: This is like

521

00:45:31.700 --> 00:45:33.109

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: that was no help.

522

00:45:33.640 --> 00:45:34.420

Vanessa Nixon: Right.

523

00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:38.019

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And people weren't talking about it 15 years ago.

524

00:45:38.490 --> 00:45:47.090

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: But it's so refreshing to me to to come across people like you who are talking about it, and who are saying, You know, this is this, is

525

00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:53.349

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: this is just the beginning of something really special. And because I really do embrace

526

00:45:53.370 --> 00:45:59.990

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: this point in my life, and and to get the opportunity to to talk with people that are out there

527

00:46:00.060 --> 00:46:05.380

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: beating the drum. And you know there's there's different Menopausal coaches for different

528

00:46:06.110 --> 00:46:11.206

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: flavors of of women out there. Because we're we're really varied.

529

00:46:11.670 --> 00:46:17.540

Vanessa Nixon: All different. We're very unique. And I love that that speaks to the fact that

530

00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:19.530

Vanessa Nixon: there are options.

531

00:46:19.930 --> 00:46:22.760

Vanessa Nixon: you know. That's that's 1 of the main

532

00:46:23.490 --> 00:46:29.500

Vanessa Nixon: problems that I see right now, as people are starting to talk about menopause is.

533

00:46:29.520 --> 00:46:48.089

Vanessa Nixon: oh, the only option is to take hormone replacement therapy, because this is a disease, as we mentioned earlier. And what I really want women to know is, there are so many options out there. If you're having symptoms. If you're if there are some challenges.

534

00:46:48.190 --> 00:47:03.230

Vanessa Nixon: so many options, we're not limited to that, you know. I'm not one of those people who says, you know all conventional medical knowledge is wrong. I I'm much more integrated. I think that

535

00:47:03.410 --> 00:47:06.699

Vanessa Nixon: conventional medicine is great at some things.

536

00:47:06.890 --> 00:47:09.180

Vanessa Nixon: and very poor at other things.

537

00:47:09.450 --> 00:47:15.179

Vanessa Nixon: and it's wonderful that we have so many options for all of all of those other things.

538

00:47:15.220 --> 00:47:17.870

Vanessa Nixon: And so we're not limited.

539

00:47:18.736 --> 00:47:24.019

Vanessa Nixon: There might be some women in very extreme circumstances that really do need

540

00:47:25.110 --> 00:47:29.020

Vanessa Nixon: replace hormone replacement therapy for a period of time.

541

00:47:29.330 --> 00:47:30.760

Vanessa Nixon: But really.

542

00:47:31.570 --> 00:47:34.400

Vanessa Nixon: you know, if that's if that is, you

543

00:47:34.580 --> 00:47:53.929

Vanessa Nixon: you know. Go ahead and do what is right for you, and then have an exit strategy. You know, how am I? Gonna move to the next phase, how am I going to navigate this? And then what can I do to get off medication to be able to live out this.

544

00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:58.619

Vanessa Nixon: you know, really important phase of my life.

545

00:47:59.300 --> 00:48:01.060

Vanessa Nixon: and really

546

00:48:01.090 --> 00:48:03.809

Vanessa Nixon: elevated vibrant.

547

00:48:03.820 --> 00:48:05.500

Vanessa Nixon: vital health.

548

00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:10.389

Vanessa Nixon: Let's look at all of the options that are out there.

549

00:48:10.520 --> 00:48:13.860

Vanessa Nixon: and our bodies know how to navigate this.

550

00:48:15.900 --> 00:48:27.040

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: This kind of brings us to the the gift that you're offering our audience, which is 3 secrets to balance your homework naturally, which is an on demand, Masterclass. You want to speak to that for a minute.

551

00:48:27.370 --> 00:48:35.710

Vanessa Nixon: I do, because there, there is a lot of kind of a groundswell around hormone balance.

552

00:48:35.730 --> 00:48:44.490

Vanessa Nixon: You know, people are understanding that this is a really big thing, especially for women, because we go through very

553

00:48:44.530 --> 00:48:50.220

Vanessa Nixon: so many different phases of our lives, and our culture is so unhealthy.

554

00:48:50.620 --> 00:48:51.550

Vanessa Nixon: you know.

555

00:48:51.990 --> 00:49:04.510

Vanessa Nixon: not only just in in the way that we're conditioned to think about our bodies, but in the food that's that's out there, and the environmental pollution and all of those things affect our hormones.

556

00:49:05.010 --> 00:49:15.210

Vanessa Nixon: And so it really is key to keeping us in balance when you understand what's going on with your hormones. But one of the things that

557

00:49:15.710 --> 00:49:17.990

Vanessa Nixon: I see happening is that

558

00:49:18.520 --> 00:49:23.170

Vanessa Nixon: there's such a focus on just estrogen and progesterone.

559

00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:25.810

Vanessa Nixon: And we need to replace.

560

00:49:25.840 --> 00:49:33.810

Vanessa Nixon: We need to replace these. If you know you're having symptoms in perimenopause or menopause, we need to keep those levels

561

00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:41.959

Vanessa Nixon: where they were when you were in the reproductive phase of your life, and that's that's not a natural way to think about. Our bodies

562

00:49:42.030 --> 00:49:51.059

Vanessa Nixon: is going backwards. You know. We need to think about going forwards where our hormones are supposed to decline, but they still need to be in balance.

563

00:49:51.210 --> 00:49:55.610

Vanessa Nixon: and so our bodies are designed naturally to be in balance

564

00:49:55.620 --> 00:49:58.570

Vanessa Nixon: through these cycles, and

565

00:49:58.820 --> 00:50:07.449

Vanessa Nixon: this master class gives some in-depth information, not only around, you know, some of the more

566

00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:11.489

Vanessa Nixon: scientific information of what's happening with our hormones.

567

00:50:11.700 --> 00:50:22.779

Vanessa Nixon: but also what's really underneath? What's causing these hormone fluctuations? And how can we address those naturally, so that we don't have to be on medication

568

00:50:22.850 --> 00:50:26.820

Vanessa Nixon: so that we don't have to rely on.

569

00:50:27.410 --> 00:50:31.220

Vanessa Nixon: You know other people or other institutions

570

00:50:31.260 --> 00:50:37.139

Vanessa Nixon: for our health, you know. How can we be in charge? How can we be responsible for our health

571

00:50:37.530 --> 00:50:38.950
