Menopause can feel like everything’s shifting—your body, your emotions, even your sense of who you are. It’s not just a phase to get through, it’s an invitation to slow down, listen in, and reconnect with the deeper wisdom within. In this conversation with Seren Bertrand, the award-winning Author of Womb Awakening, we talk about what it really means to step into this next chapter as a woman. Seren has walked with thousands of women through their feminine awakening and brings such grounded, mystical wisdom to the table. We talk about the “Dark Goddess” showing up at age 28, the sacred timeline of our womb, and why menopause is so much more than an ending—it’s a beginning.

Seren isn’t just an author—she’s been a fashion editor, a cultural storyteller, and a feminine wisdom keeper for over two decades. She shares beautiful, ancient practices that honor the wise woman archetype and shows how this stage of life can be full of magic, not just symptoms. We talk about things like the shift from the birth womb to the diamond womb, why sensuality doesn’t disappear—it evolves—and how this season can actually turn up the volume on your intuition and purpose.

Whether you’re nearing menopause or already in it, or even just curious about what’s ahead, I think you’ll feel seen in this one.
