If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “This is just how I am now,” or “I never stick to anything,” this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Menopause Method, I’m diving into the words we use—out loud and in our heads—and how those words are shaping our energy, motivation, and even our physical body in midlife. You’ll learn how your self-talk programs your nervous system, impacts your health, and how to shift it without toxic positivity or fake affirmations.

We'll cover:

1. Your Words Are More Than Just Thoughts
   The way you talk to yourself actually becomes an instruction manual for your nervous system—and your body listens!
2. How Childhood Programming (and Diet Culture!) Might Be Running the Show
   We dive into why old self-talk patterns pop up now, and how to lovingly update them.
3. Simple Reframes That Change Everything
   Discover small language shifts you can use right away—no “fake” affirmations needed—to create energy, motivation, and self-acceptance.

Key Takeaways:

• The words you use to describe yourself can shape your midlife experience—your self-talk becomes instructions for your body and mind.
• “I’ll try” and negative self-beliefs often signal unconscious self-sabotage; swap them for more accurate, supportive statements.
• Our common beliefs about aging, body changes, and motivation are often old programming picked up from childhood and culture—these narratives are changeable!
• Reframing your thoughts with curiosity, rather than criticism, opens the door to better self-understanding and more positive outcomes in menopause.
• Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) techniques can help you shift unhelpful self-talk and transform your results in midlife and menopause.
• Your stress and frustration don’t just feel bad—they can literally affect your hormones, cravings, and even your blood sugar.
• Simple practices—like questioning whether your self-talk is creating the “you” you want to become—can have a big impact on your well-being and results.

We'll Cover:

1. Understanding Parts Work: You'll learn about the concept of parts in our minds, especially when you find yourself torn between two decisions or thoughts, like wanting to be active versus needing rest. This episode explains how those parts are just different ways your brain is looking out for you.
2. NLP and Rewiring: Cam shares how Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help rewire your brain and change old patterns, particularly those that might have been developed at a very young age, so you can achieve the results you desire in midlife.
3. New Perspective on Fitness: There's a refreshing take on fitness, where it's not about long, intense workouts. Cam introduces the idea of "menopause minis," short, effective workouts, showing how fitness can be flexible and still beneficial, especially during menopause.

Key Takeaways:

1. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help rewire midlife mindset by addressing conflicting desires and parts.
2. Parts work involves recognizing and integrating conflicting desires for better balance and peace.
3. Journaling about your conflicting parts can reveal what both sides are trying to achieve for you.
4. Rest and recovery are crucial components of midlife fitness, countering the old belief of constant high effort.
5. Consistent short workouts, like 10-minute strength sessions, can effectively replace longer, more intense workouts.
6. Shifting from a battle between desires to cooperation between parts leads to a happier and calmer midlife experience.
7. Challenge yourself to identify and reconcile your conflicting parts to better understand your needs and motivations.
