Your Spark Action Steps This Week

Choose one strength-building move to add into your week. Keep it simple and consistent:

1️⃣ Daily Squats – 10 squats a day, using just your bodyweight. Builds hip and thigh strength while loading your bones.

2️⃣ Stair Climbing – Skip the elevator once a day. Stairs are one of the best natural bone-strengtheners out there.

3️⃣ Resistance Band Rows – Anchor a band to a doorknob, pull back, and squeeze your shoulder blades. This strengthens posture muscles and supports your spine.

💡 Don’t overthink it. Pick one, commit to it, and repeat. Every rep is a deposit in your bone health bank account—and every deposit builds not just stronger bones, but a stronger, more confident you.

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.
