Menopause, Past Lives and the Witch Wound

In this article, we explore the profound changes women experience during menopause, framing it as a transformative awakening rather than a breakdown. I discuss how this phase can bring forward intuitive gifts, past life memories, and ancestral connections. I delve into the concept of the "witch wound," a deep-seated fear of being seen and judged, and how menopause can help women shed old patterns and align with their true selves. And I encourage you to embrace this chaotic yet powerful transition, offering insights into how to navigate it with curiosity and self-compassion.

Hello Earth Angels,

This week’s blog is for the woman who’s sitting there thinking,

“Why am I suddenly feeling EVERYTHING… and also questioning my entire life?”

Like… one minute you’re fine…

the next you’re crying at a bird call and also wondering if you should burn your whole life down and start again. 😏

If that’s you—stay with me.

Because what if you’re not losing it…

What if you’re remembering?

The “What is happening to me?” phase

Let’s just be honest—menopause is… a full-body, full-life experience.

Your patience? Gone.

Your tolerance for nonsense? Non-existent.

Your emotions? Front and centre like, “Hi, we’ve been waiting YEARS for this moment.”

And so many women say:

“I don’t feel like myself.”

And I always say…

Good.

Because the version of you that got you here…

is not the version of you that’s meant to take you forward.

It’s not just hormones (sorry 😅)

Yes, hormones are shifting.

We’re not pretending they’re not.

But if it was just hormones…

why are you suddenly:

• questioning everything about your life

• craving meaning, depth, truth

• feeling drawn to spirituality or intuition

• having dreams that feel… a bit too real

Exactly.

Because something deeper is opening.

________________________________________

Past lives, soul memory & the clues you can’t ignore.

This is where it gets a little mystical (you know me LOL) —but also very real for a lot of women.

Menopause can act like a doorway.

The noise drops…

and what’s underneath starts to rise.

And sometimes… that includes past life memory.

Now, you might not suddenly remember a full past life like a movie (although some do)…

But you might notice little clues.

Things like:

• A deep fear of being seen or speaking your truth

• A strong reaction to being judged, rejected, or “too much”

• Feeling safer playing small—even when you know you’re meant for more

• A pull toward healing, energy work, or intuitive practices

• A sense of “I’ve done this before” when you step into your work

• Dreams or visions that feel ancient or unfamiliar—but oddly known

These aren’t random.

They’re threads.

And menopause has a way of pulling those threads to the surface.

The Witch Wound (yep… we’re going there 🔥)

Let’s talk about this one.

Because this sits in so many women.

The witch wound.

That deep, often unconscious fear of:

• being seen

• being judged

• being “too much”

• being powerful

And I’ve felt this in my own journey, especially after I was on the cruise ships and teaching my spiritual development classes for free.

Moving into the space of running a business was scary initially.

It was at that time when I realised…

I had this underlying fear of being visible in my gifts.

Of fully owning my intuition.

Of speaking what I knew to be true.

And when I really sat with it…

it didn’t feel like it came from this lifetime.

It felt older.

Like a memory in my body that said:

“Be careful. It’s not safe to be seen like this.”

And whether you call that past lives, ancestral memory, or collective feminine history…

we know that women who were intuitive, healing, powerful… were not always safe.

So of course there’s a part of you that still remembers that.

And menopause?

She’s like…

“We’re done hiding now.”

Why it feels so intense!

So, when all of this starts to rise—

the emotions, the memories, the truth…

it can feel like A LOT.

You might feel:

• more sensitive

• more reactive

• less able to tolerate things you used to just put up with

And it’s tempting to think:

“What is wrong with me?”

But nothing is wrong.

You’re not breaking down.

You’re shedding layers that were never fully yours to carry.

Honestly… it’s a bit chaotic.

But also?

Deeply powerful.

________________________________________

The midlife awakening (aka your truth era).

This is where things start to shift externally.

You question your life.

Your roles.

Your relationships.

And it can feel like everything is unraveling…

But what’s actually happening is…

you’re coming into alignment with who you really are.

Not who you were taught to be.

Not who you needed to be to survive.

But who you are underneath all of that.

________________________________________

You’re not going back (and that’s a good thing).

I hear this all the time:

“I just want to feel like myself again.”

And I get it.

But also…

You’re not going back.

Because the woman you’re becoming?

She:

• trusts herself

• owns her intuition

• speaks her truth

• and doesn’t shrink to make other people comfortable

She’s not more intense.

She’s more real.

How to work with this (without spiralling 😅).

So instead of trying to fix yourself…

What if you just got curious?

Try:

• sitting in stillness and asking, “What is this showing me?”

• journaling what’s coming up without censoring it

• noticing where you feel fear around being seen or heard

• gently expanding your capacity to be visible in your truth

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need to stay connected to yourself.

If this article is landing…

If you’re feeling that little “oh… this is me” moment…

You’re not imagining it.

This is an awakening.

Please feel free to reach out and tell me what’s been coming up for you.

I love hearing your stories—especially the past life ones!

And until next time…

Stop dimming your magic.

It was never meant to stay hidden.
