In every single system, you have to fight for that level of communication to come back, even in a business partnership, even, you know, your relationship with your siblings, but most importantly, of course, your relationship with your partner, your relationship with your kids.

I can't help but to think about, you know, these metaphors that are all kind of coming together, you know.

A very tragic, actual, real-life fire

upended your life.

And here we are talking about this major life transformation that women will go through, perimenopause into menopause, and that feels like an upending.

It feels like an emotional fire.

It feels like your entire world is going upside down.

And yet your message that I'm hearing for you today as we wind down is that just like in an actual fire where you have this, nature always comes back.

Obviously, in the situation of LA and the fires here, there's so many politics and other things.

Put that all aside, right?

Just think of a wildfire out in the forest.

Nature comes back stronger than ever.

New trees start blooming.

Life starts forming.

The earth's soil gets richer.

And now...

it's a different and a better version of the next continuation that's there.

I'm hearing that that's a huge part of the message you're sharing today, is that this life period that feels just scary and confusing, and I got so much value from being a particular way, and maybe I don't want to be that way before, but it was kind of working for me before, but it wasn't working for me before, and it's so complicated in so many aspects, but nonetheless, I want to show up differently, and I need different things now, and I need to let the people around me know.

that as scary as that time period can be, especially because so many women feel like they're navigating it alone, that there's something really beautiful on the other end of it.

Well, if there's anybody to give that reminder, it's you, Mindy, and you did.
