Navigating the Emotional Upheaval in Menopause 

Master Class
 

5 reasons we need to talk about this NOW

Hi, I'm Sanela 

I’m a transformational coach with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals to live and lead with authenticity, purpose and courage.

My journey through perimenopause and menopause has been both challenging and transformational. The last 12 years felt like something had broken me open and at times, I thought I was going mad.

I believe that knowledge is power and that with the right mindset and relevant skills, we can harness this remarkable stage of our lives. 

This Master Class is my contribution to help us do just that. 

9 in 10 women

experience issues with anxiety, loss of interest, emotional overwhelm, forgetfulness or low self-esteem during perimenopause and menopause.* 

Shockingly, 80% of them didn’t even confide in their partners. 

*Health & Her Survey of 2000 women, aged 46-60

Women are Ill equipped 

to deal with this emotional upheaval and are reluctant to seek help. 

It’s not uncommon for the emotional and mental issues to present themselves before any other peri/menopause symptoms. 

There isn’t enough conversation and education to de-mystify and normalise this experience. 

We’re so good at ignoring or numbing our emotions and our own needs. 

The hormonal and internal change is unforgiving. They demand that we listen and care but most don’t realise this or know how. 

Most of us soldier on whilst feeling alone and inadequate.

Because this is a demanding stage of our life with plenty of stressors with children, work and relationships, we get blindsided by these sudden struggles. 

Women can feel embarrassed or ashamed of having emotional and mental issues related to menopause. 

Women are missing out on the transformational power of this stage of life. 

We need to reframe how we look at mid-age and menopause. 

We can honour the struggle and equip women with skills and a mindset that’s more about new beginnings and less about the endings and survival. 

Master Class in Navigating the Emotional Upheaval in Menopause

A transformational coach, Sanela Lukanovic, delves deep into this emotional upheaval, educating and normalising our shared experience. 

In this Master Class, she offers us a new perspective and outlines the skills we need to transform how we’re supporting and treating ourselves through this transformational phase of our lives. 

What happens when life stress, midlife & menopause collide 

We have no choice but to enter this arena, but we are met with judgement, prejudice and criticism, including the harsh self-critic

We need to understand the arena and equip ourselves with skills to claim our power and thrive.

Learning to love ourselves 

the skill of Nurturing and Fierce Self Compassion. A mindset change that allows us to listen and honour our own needs whilst remaining kind to others. 

Honouring our feelings and needs 

the skill of learning to feel all our feelings (yes, including our anger!) rather than numbing, ignoring or exploding (and then feeling guilty).

Learning who counts 

criticism and judgement will always be in this arena and this triggers shame and inadequacy in us. Recognising and dealing with shame and empathy are skills we need to thrive.

IMPORTANT: Please note that this Master Class is not about HRT/medical advice.
