Are you tired of trying?
“I have tried working out, eating healthy and still gaining weight. I do eat when bored but try to pick healthy options.”
“I have tried talking to my doctor and they seem like it’s not a big deal and run me through a bunch of tests. This has been going on for over a year and my hot flashes are intense and happen like every 20 minutes.”
“My memory is shot, I can’t sleep more than 2 hours at a time, I’m exhausted and cranky. I have tried herbal med, acupuncture, sleeping pills..nothing works.”
It’s so easy to have an all or nothing kind of attitude and say, “I tried this, I tried that before.”
Especially when we feel discouraged.
But when it comes to believing in ourselves, sometimes we have to take that leap of faith.
That’s what Yanick Séïde did when she joined the MENO-Mastery Academy.
Yanick joined our MENO-Mastery Academy in July of 2020. At that time, she had been contemplating a career move for over 10 years.
As a result of the action steps she took as a MENO-Mate, Yanick not only lost 52 pounds, but she quit her management position in her corporate job and started her coaching practice, Chrysalis Women Empowerment.
With her passion to empower women to become the women they are destined to be, Yanick is now a certified life coach and a certified ketogenic nutrition coach with a Master’s in Adult Education.
On today’s episode, we’re going to talk about Yanick’s biggest fears about joining the MENO-Mastery Academy and what was holding her back PLUS:
– How to improve motivation
– Regaining control of her body and her symptoms
– How she was able to find purpose and take action toward it
– Rediscovering herself
– Finding the courage to make change and how it felt when she finally took action.
– Feeling empowered around controlling her menopause symptoms
– Sleeping through the night and how that helped her improve her decision making process
– Finding joy through following her passion
– The cost of not being aware of her limitations
Yanick achieved what she previously thought was impossible, and she started with an investment in herself.
It’s never too late for you too.
