&ldquo;If we stop transforming, and we try to hold ourselves back, we&rsquo;re effectively stagnating and killing the life that&rsquo;s ahead,&rdquo; says psychologist and author Sharon Blackie, PhD. Today, we talk about what Blackie has learned from studying myths and fairy tales, and working to reimagine the stories that currently define women&rsquo;s lives. She shares a much-needed, wise, and beautiful perspective on the rebirth that can happen around menopause&mdash;when the layers that once defined us are peeled back, to reveal a deeper core, and a chance to transform once more. <p data-encore-id="text" data-slate-node="element" data-slate-fragment="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">For the show notes, head over to&nbsp;<a href="https://eliseloehnen.substack.com/p/the-podcast" data-encore-id="textLink" data-slate-node="element" data-slate-inline="true">⁠my Substack⁠</a>.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
