The conversation you’re avoiding may be the one that changes everything.

How many times have we hoped things would get better on their own?

We hope someone will notice. We hope they’ll change. We hope that if we wait long enough, things will somehow work themselves out.

But sometimes the greatest act of self-love isn’t waiting. It’s finding the courage to tell yourself the truth, speak up, and have the conversation that could change the direction of your life. That’s what we’re talking about today.

In this episode of The Menopause Mindshift Self-Love Podcast, The Menopause Queen, Lisa R. Triggs, sits down with Marcelle LeBlanc for an honest conversation about communication, relationships, and why the conversations we avoid can sometimes be the ones we need most.

Midlife can bring greater clarity about who we are, what we want, what we value, and what we’re no longer willing to accept. Marcelle shares how learning to communicate those things clearly can help us address resentment, disappointment, disconnection, and unmet needs before years pass without anything changing.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

👑 Why avoiding difficult conversations can create greater distance in relationships

👑 How to get clear about what you actually want before starting the conversation

👑 A practical way to communicate what’s wrong, explain how it’s affecting you, and make a specific request

👑 Why midlife can bring new awareness to relationship patterns, boundaries, and values we may have carried with us for years

Women spend years caring for families, building careers, managing relationships, and taking care of everyone around them. Somewhere along the way, their own happiness, creativity, and passions can quietly move further down the list.

In this episode of The Menopause Mindshift Self-Love Podcast, The Menopause Queen, Lisa R. Triggs, sits down with Kenya E. Aissa, former social worker, wellness entrepreneur, author, founder of Ruby Envy Wellness, and creator of Escape to Create, to talk about what happens when women decide to put themselves back on that list.

Kenya shares why creativity, movement, mindfulness, and self-expression can help women reconnect with parts of themselves they may have lost along the way, and why choosing your own happiness and mental wellness is an important part of self-love.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:

👑 Why women can struggle to give themselves permission to prioritize their own happiness

👑 How creativity, movement, and mindfulness can help women reconnect with themselves

👑 Why returning to old passions or discovering new ones can be especially meaningful during midlife

👑 How choosing yourself can become an act of self-love rather than something to feel guilty about

Sometimes returning to joy starts with one decision: stop waiting for someone else to give you permission.

What are you still carrying that may no longer be serving you?

During menopause and midlife, old hurts can feel louder. Relationships can shift. Emotions can become heightened, and things that were once tolerated may suddenly feel impossible to ignore.

In this episode of The Menopause Mindshift Self-Love Podcast, The Menopause Queen, Lisa R. Triggs, is talking about what happens when we continue to carry anger, guilt, resentment, old memories, and the need for an apology or resolution we may never receive.

Because letting go doesn’t mean what happened didn’t matter. It means deciding how much of your energy you’re willing to continue giving it.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

👑 Why old hurts and unresolved emotions can feel amplified during menopause and midlife

👑 How to recognize when holding on is keeping you stuck instead of helping you heal

👑 Practical ways to begin releasing anger, guilt, and negative thoughts through writing, visualization, and shifting your perspective

👑 Why moving forward doesn’t always require an apology, explanation, or resolution from someone else

There comes a point when we get to decide what still belongs in our lives, what we’ve learned from, what we’re ready to release, and how we want to move forward from here.

Sometimes choosing yourself means finally deciding that you’re ready to let go.
