S4: Ep 2MP-The Mani-Pause: The Sacred Transformation: Menopause as an Initiation

Mindfully Disruptive

What if menopause isn't the end of something—but the beginning of everything?

In this powerful episode of The Mani-Pause, hosts Patricia Rundblade and Marina Lamen flip the script on menopause. Forget decline, diminishment, and "drying up." This is about initiation, reclamation, and stepping into your most potent self.

What You'll Discover:

• Why menopause is a sacred rite of passage—not a medical problem to fix, but a threshold into deeper wisdom and power
• The parallel between puberty and menopause—how both are initiations that fundamentally transform who you are (and why we only celebrate one)
• What it means to shed the passive feminine—and why this phase invites a more assertive, boundaried, unapologetic version of yourself
• The power of surrendering control—why patience isn't weakness, and how letting go of force opens the door to true transformation
• How to reclaim your energy, power, and identity—when your body is rewriting the rules and society wants you invisible
• Why we need to break the taboo—and start celebrating menopause as the empowering initiation it truly is

This Episode Is For You If:

• You're in perimenopause or menopause and tired of the "just manage your symptoms" narrative
• You're curious about the spiritual and emotional dimensions of this life stage
• You want real, honest conversations about energy cycles, identity shifts, and reclaiming your power
• You're a Manifestor (or any Human Design type) navigating how menopause intersects with your unique energy
• You're ready to reframe menopause as transformation, not loss
