Your Spark Action Steps This Week

Choose one non-fitness lifestyle habit to focus on this week:

1️⃣ Sleep Ritual → Commit to a lights-out time 3 nights this week, aiming for 7–8 hours of quality sleep. Your bones repair most during deep rest.

2️⃣ Stress Reset → Add one mini-reset every day—whether it’s a breathing exercise, journaling, or stepping outside barefoot for 5 minutes. Lower cortisol = stronger bones.

3️⃣ Healthy Swap → Replace one daily soda, sugary latte, or nightly glass of wine with sparkling water, bone broth, or herbal tea. That single swap protects your calcium balance.

Don’t try to change everything at once. Pick the one that feels easiest and repeat it daily. Small lifestyle tweaks, practiced consistently, are what build bones that last—and the confidence to carry them proudly into the next decade.

About the Podcast

MenoSpark Podcast
Holistic Health Support Through PeriMenopause and Beyond
Welcome to MenoSpark—the podcast for Gen X women who are done putting up with the confusion, silence, and BS around menopause. If you’re somewhere between “what is happening to my body?” and “why am I suddenly crying over insurance commercials?”—you’re in the right place.

MenoSpark is your weekly dose of real talk, holistic health support, and empowering insights to help you thrive through perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. With expert guidance from yours truly (a board-certified sexologist and menopause care provider), plus candid stories, practical tips, and occasional guests, we’ll tackle everything from hot flashes to hormone balance, libido to bone health, anxiety to energy work.

This isn’t about surviving menopause—it’s about reigniting your spark.

We’ll explore a full-spectrum approach to wellness, blending physical, emotional, mental, and energetic tools to support you as your body evolves. Nothing's off the table, from medical care to mindset shifts, nutrition to nervous system support.

Whether you’re just entering perimenopause or riding out postmenopausal peace (with a heating pad and a glass of red), this space is here to remind you: you are not broken—you’re becoming.

So, if you're ready to move beyond the overwhelm and embrace menopause as a time of powerful transformation, come join the MenoSpark community. Together, we’ll reclaim this wild, wonderful stage of life with knowledge, confidence, and unapologetic energy.
