Yes! If you are having bad symptoms that are affecting your quality of life and in any stage of your menopause journey. Perimenopause is if you’re having menopause symptoms and you’re still getting your period, even irregularly. Post menopause is if you’ve reached 12 months without a period. The Bad Symptoms Warrior process is powerful for women in perimenopause and also for women in post menopause. 

Great question! And nope, this isn’t a health or medical course. This program is for the inner personal growth work that makes all the difference in how you approach your menopause symptoms. To address your symptoms on a physical health or medical level, please reach out to your health providers. 

Yes, all sessions are online for this program. It’s amazing how much connection we can foster even in Zoom meetings. It’s all about the experiences and activities provided - these will ensure that you experience real connection. 

AND a cool in-person bonus: If you participate in a Free Your Menopause 4-week or 6-week program on Zoom, you automatically receive a ticket to our once-yearly in-person retreat. These usually happen in the summer in Boulder, Colorado USA. The retreat is a day-long immersion and all you have to do is pay for your food and lodging - the retreat itself is free for you. This is a wonderful way to meet your program sisters in person, plus also other participants from other Free Your Menopause programs.  

Yes, all sessions are recorded. You’ll have access online for one year, and then you’ll be given the option to download the videos when the year of access comes to an end. So you can revisit the process any time you need a refresh. You can also download the videos to keep on your own devices at any time, not just when the year is up. 

And if you miss a session, it will be recorded and posted in the online portal within 24 hours. You’ll also have all the Action Pack between-session prompts and support inside the group space — you won’t miss a beat.

That’s another important question, glad you asked. And yes, to participate, you are required to show yourself on video during our Zoom meetings. This creates the safety that we need to have a container where we can go deep. If one or more participants aren’t showing themselves on Zoom, it will feel as if there are strangers in the room and it will be hard to open up. So yes, we definitely want to see you!

And yes, you’ll be sharing personally. It’s really what makes the program so powerful. Sharing your own truths and having them witnessed by others is empowering and cathartic. Hearing others’ truths will give you insight into yours, plus there is also healing and catharsis in being the witness. 

Most find that once they see how real and judgment-free this space is, they want to share. There’s something magical that happens when you realize everyone else is navigating the same wild ride, and that our collective sharing creates a “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” synergy for all.

Important question. No, this is not therapy. This is guided life passage work facilitated by Lisa who is an Interspiritual Minister. This work guides you to understand menopause as a major life passage, and within that context helps you navigate the various challenges and opportunities that surface during a major life passage, which not coincidentally are the main topics of each program ;)

In some cases you might find that emotions or issues that come up would be best helped by therapy, in which case you can work with a therapist too. 

Bottomline, this program can beautifully complement therapy, but it is not a substitute for therapy.

Nope. You just have to be navigating peri or post menopause. You’ll hear words like “rite of passage” and “sacred,” but there’s no dogma, religion, or belief system to sign onto. This work IS spiritual in that you will feel deeply and connect with your own important truths, plus also feel connected with others. You can do that whether you see yourself as a “spiritual” person or not, and whether you’ve been in programs like this before or if this your very first one. “Spiritual” here just means meaningful.

Yes — absolutely. This space honors the full spectrum of identities, bodies, and lived experiences. If you are a person navigating menopause, you belong here.

We do use the word “woman” on this site, which does not apply to all in peri or post menopause AND we welcome everyone who is experiencing this transition. 

If you sign up, then attend the first session and decide it’s not for you, then let us know via email within 24 hours of the end of that first session and you can have a full refund, less the transaction fees to receive and refund your money (usually around $25 total).
