MagaMama with Kimberly Ann Johnson: Sex, Birth and Motherhood
In this deep dive into menopause and elderhood, Kimberly and Kate Codrington discuss how they see their inter-generational work with women around self-care and cultural work. Kate's book The Second Spring: The Self-Care Guide to Menopause and her more recent The Perimenopause Journal have made an indelible impact as Kimberly transitioned to the other side of the menopause hill. Two women, in their second spring, consider their responsibilities to women in various cycles of womanhood. They explore the impact of teachers, trauma, and the digital age on women, highlighting the need for resilience, play, and the ability to hold paradoxes. The discussion also touches on the importance of role models, the ever-changing dynamics of female elders, and the significance of embodied compassion in doing work in the women's wellness and healthcare fields. Bio Kate's mission is to change the way we regard menopause and show how we can relax into our own, inner authority through our cyclical nature, deep body intelligence and menopause process. Life around and within is always communicating with us and her passion is for the ‘soft animal body', the magic of the liminal, and the potential of emergent processes. Kate refuses to take herself too seriously and tries to never take on anything that is not pleasurable and delicious. She is a menstrual and menopause mentor, speaker, workshop facilitator, writer, podcaster and have been a therapist for more than 30 years. She is also an artist currently weaving textiles, words, story and stitch. She's in her second spring, which means post-menopause, and has deep gratitude for the education that the menopause process has gifted her. The Perimenopause Journal is now available at your favourite booksellers and my first book Second Spring: the self-care guide to menopause was published by HarperCollins 2022.

Er werd geboomerdanst, vorige week, en Gijsje en Barbara waren erbij. Eerst aan de kant van de dansvloer, daarna schoorvoetend erop. Gijsje vond het een beetje een klassenfeest, Barbara was vooral bezig met wat je in godsnaam aandoet als je als 50+-er gaat dansen: het begint bij de schoenen. De grote boekenhit van dit moment is Het Beladen Huis van Christien Brinkgreve en Barbara en Femke zijn verkocht. Het is een intiem kijkje in hoe een huwelijk mank loopt, maar vele passages zijn herkenbaar voor vrouwen in langere huwelijken. Verder praten we over seks, want dat moet ook maar eens gebeuren. Wie ‘doet' het tegenwoordig nog de 'standaard' twee keer per week? Barbara en Femke geven een update over hoe het er bij hen voorstaat en Gijsje deelt opzienbarende feiten uit onderzoeken.Tweede lenteBen jij klaar om de overgang nou eens vanuit een positieve invalshoek te bekijken?

This time on the podcast we welcome back Kate Codrington, author of Second Spring, to talk about her new book The Perimenopause Journal, which was published this week.. Kate's new book is a lovingly created year-long journal which can be started at any point in your perimenopause journey and builds on her writing around the different seasons of pre/peri- and post-menopause in Second Spring (although you certainly don't need to have read this to use the Journal). Within you'll find journaling prompts and guides that help you figure out which of the different types of seasonal self-care are right for you as you navigate the rollercoaster of perimenopause. As Kate herself outlines, there's no time in our lives where the prompt “How can I be kinder to myself?” is not appropriate, but perimenopause is surely one time where we desperately need to allow ourselves more kindness, gentleness, and forgiveness. She describes perimenopause as a process of refinement - showing us what isn't working for us, what is not serving us in life. In this sense the Journal is a helpful vehicle for us to be able to look back over a period of time and see how we have developed our self-kindness practices. The positives of perimenopause - which are much more available to us when we are well rested - include getting clear on our needs and how to get our needs met - which can be easier said than done given we have (generally) been socialized to put our needs last. Processing this can reveal to us the gap between who we actually are and how we have sold ourselves short. The act of writing things down in a journal helps us build the muscle of articulating what we need. This practice - of accepting our vulnerability and strength, claiming lost parts of ourselves - takes time and however we choose to deal with perimenopause (whether we take HRT or not), this inner process is still likely to be going on… We joke about ‘enforced rest and respite' for perimenopausal folk (we can dream!) - but the journal really is a framework for enabling what our minds and bodies are calling out for. The Perimenopause Journal also gives you access to some of Kate's fantastic yoga nidra meditations (accessible using the QR codes in the book) for 20-minute doses of deep restorative rest, as well as intention-setting meditations each month. We unpack a little of my skepticism around moon phases which are used as an anchor in the journal - Kate gently explains why exploring and noting how we feel in relation to the phases of the moon can be supportive especially once the rhythm of other cycles has gone. I love Kate's description of the journal as “a soft-lined nest for you to rest in' - and who would not want that! You can find out more about Kate's work and writing (and access her free resource library, including some yoga nidra recordings) at www.katecodrington.co.uk The Perimenopause Journal is published by David and Charles: https://www.davidandcharles.com/books/diaries-letters-journals/the-perimenopause-journal-9781446313589/ Second Spring is available in paperback: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/second-spring-kate-codrington/5752562?ean=9780008469771 If you enjoy the podcast and would like to help me keep it running (on a shoestring!) please consider buying me a ‘virtual coffee' at Ko-fi.com/middlingalong - or you can support me in a non-monetary way by sharing this episode, or writing a short review online!

Have you ever noticed that as you embrace midlife, you discover this newfound ability to stop doing all the things that just don't serve you anymore? Isn't it fantastic? My guest today Kate Codrington is joining me to help us understand that this fresh confidence and freedom has a name, and is also known as the autumn of perimenopause. But you might be more familiar with the experience of “meno-rage”, where your emotions feel completely out of control which leads us to explode and feel overwhelmed by the fallout. Kate helps us understand that this is an invitation to become aware of the gap between what you need, and what you've received at this point in life. When we can identify what we're missing, we're better able to find ways to express and use this energy for good and invite more pleasure into our lives daily!To learn more about Kate and her work, check out her website at https://www.katecodrington.co.uk/, and follow her on @kate_codrington on Instagram.

If you're listening to this close to release in December, then I invite you to step away from the hustle and bustle of holiday prep for a soothing half an hour in the company of Kate Codrington - make yourself a warm drink, grab a blanket, and nestle in! Kate is the author of Second Spring: the self-care guide to menopause. Published by Harper Collins, it's the first book to give a psychological map for menopause, one of the top ten self-help books of 2022 according to The Independent. Kate mentors people in perimenopause and beyond, runs nature-based Yoga Nidra sessions, hosts the Life - An Inside Job podcast, and creates multi-level art textile projects. When she's not doing these things you'll find her playing in her compost heaps. Kate walks us through the seasons of pre-, peri-, and post-menopause: from our Autumn of editing out the things that no longer serve us, where we slow down, and recalibrate after years of looking after others, to our Winter, accepting, softening and hunkering down, to our Second Spring as rebirth and a time for discovering new creative pursuits.

On the podcast today, I'm talking with Kate Codrington about her new book Second Spring and her passion for supporting women before, during and after menopause. You may wonder what place menopause has on a fertility podcast. But with more women trying for babies when they are peri or post-menopausal, often with donor treatment, I believe it's important to have these conversations. Kate has always been a passionate supporter and advocate for women, and her new book, Second Spring, has a really refreshing focus on self-care through menopause. I was so pleased that Kate was up for this conversation, which I believe really needs to be happening for everyone who is trying for a baby at this time in their lives. Kate will also be joining us in the Fertile Mindset Sanctuary for a live chat with our members. If you're not a member yet, then we'd love you to join us for this chat with Kate and also to plug into lots of amazing support for the emotional aspects of fertility.

Meeting Kate for the first time online, I planned to do a quick bit of prep ahead of our podcast recording - going through the practicals and reassuring her I wasn't a weirdo. That might have undone itself. When I asked Kate what she wanted to chat about - she described something that seriously resonated.As I did some low level weeping (not again Rach) through our first video call, she calmly expressed how the understanding of seasons - and their distinct functions - gives us the grace and freedom to be creative and work in tune with ourselves. Mainstream business culture doesn't really hold space for that concept.Kate takes the time to explain how each season of nature, when applied to our work and creative patterns - sets us up for a much healthier, rounded life. And enables us to counter burn out and productivity busy-ness.Kate has also applied this thinking to navigating menopause. Second Spring published by HarperCollins is out now. instagram.com/kate_codringtonKeep being courageous,Rachael xWHO'S BEHIND THIS PODCAST?I'd ridden pretty high on the creative career rollercoaster.

How do I know when I'm in perimenopause or menopause? How can I stay positive during this change when I'm feeling so crappy about myself? Judy and Anne speak with Kate Codrington, a UK-based menopause mentor, activist, podcaster, and the author of "Second Spring: the guide to self-care for menopause." Kate shares her techniques for recognizing the natural life stages women go though, including menopause, which in Chinese culture, is called the “Second Spring.” By listening to your needs and wants, you learn acceptance and kindness, not only towards others, but, more importantly, to oneself.

Menopause is such a shamed and unspoken experience for many generations of women who receive the messaging that it's not possible to thrive post menopause, and that ageing is a terrible thing. Whilst it can bring physical, mental, emotional and spiritual experiences that are unpleasant, menopause is not the end of the road. My guest Kate Codrington is a few years post menopause and is here to tell us that its possible to feel well, enjoy life and flourish on the other side of our menstrual cycling years. In her new book 'Second Spring: The Self-Care Guide to Menopause' Kate helps us re-frame menopause and brings the radical notion that with small changes and a clear-eyed look at what's no longer serving you, you can reclaim your vitality and joy in life.In our conversation Kate brings her truth and nothing but her truth, and I am here for it! She shares on:How Kate connects with her cyclical nature whilst in menopause, once her menstrual cycle has ended for good, via the creative, daily, lunar and seasonal cycles.How seasonal awareness is deeply supporting Kate during menopause and how she knows which seasonal energy she is in at any time by checking inwards to how she feels in her body.Real-world examples of how Kate embodies her inner energy when not able to sync with her menstrual cycle anymore. The concept, beauty and gift of understanding the Second Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter in the second half of life between menopause and death. The absolute gift of Yoga Nidra and its medicine for menopause, and her free recordings you can access on her website.About her new book 'Second Spring: the self-care guide to Menopause' which guides women to thrive during a culturally shamed season of life.About Kate CodringtonKate is a mentor, speaker, facilitator, artist, writer and has been a therapist for 30 years.

From The Heart, a podcast about Yoga, Mindfulness, Healing and Wellbeing
In this enlightening, powerful and engaging episode we talk to Kate Codrington about Menopause. For Kate, menopause is an empowering transition. A time when women can come into their power, a time when we stop damping down our truth, living life for others. A time when our life story and history comes home to roost. Kate speaks to the menopause as a political issue, women being treated for centuries with disdain, misogyny and dominance. Kate Codrington (she/her) is a 'Chief Validation Officer' - or also known as a menstrual and menopause mentor, speaker, facilitator, artist, writer and has been a therapist for 30 years. She is also the author of Second Spring: the self-care guide to menopause (published by HarperCollins) - a revolutionary piece of work to help women and menopausal people navigate the menopause. A pioneering spirit, Kate was the first to graduate as a Menstruality Medicine Circle facilitator, is the host of Life - An Inside Job podcast, creates multi-level art textile projects and seasonal Yoga Nidra inspired by the land where she lives in Hertfordshire.

What if we already know what will help us through menopause? What if it's the self care we overlook, or don't do enough off? What if we don't need an expert to give us a top ten list to surviving menopause? Instead of perpetuating the myth that we need to give our power to an outside authority in order to feel better, Kate Codrington, author of Second Spring: A Self Care Guide to Menopause wants to place the power firmly back in our hands as we enter the often disorientating, challenging menopause journey. In this liberating, culture-shifting conversation, we explore:What is our Second Spring? Who are we after menopause? And how can we harness the wisdom we've gained from previous cycles and transitions to navigate this shift?How menopause asks us, very intensely, to come into relationship with ourselves and keeps at us until we begin a more subtle kind self care that happens in small moments.Why we deeply need to re-write the menopause narrative, and colour in the vibrant, creative life that happens in our Second Spring. ---Registration is open for our 2022 Menstruality Leadership Programme.

She encourages us to find communities where people are real and honest about their experiences and reveals how this system of Peri to Post Menopause works, leading us to our Second Spring which is, “bloody great!” Kate's first book, ‘Second Spring - The Guide To Self Care For Menopause' comes out on 17th February 2022, published by Harper Collins.
Naomi and Kate Codrington have a in-depth chat about the menopause, the opportunity to resolve lifelong issues and why all roads lead to the safety and sanctity of vulnerability and tenderness. Kate's book ‘Second Spring' is being published by Harper Collins in February 2022.

Let's change the conversation from how can I lose my meno belly to how can I fall in love with my new meno body! That's what your soul has been longing for. Kate Codrington is a menstrual and menopause mentor, workshop facilitator, writer and has been a therapist for more than a quarter of a century. It's her mission to change the way we regard menopause and she wants to show people how we can relax into our own inner authority through our menstrual cycles and menopause process. In this conversation we cover: Why diets don't work. Feeling safe enough to be angry. How to age well. Mining gold from guilt. Unpicking internal criticism. And so much more.Kate's Links:https://www.instagram.com/kate_codrington/https://www.katecodrington.co.ukSally's Links: Sleep Hypnosis Recording - bit.ly/sleephypnosisrecording
