PART 1 of 2 with the amazing Patti Palmer.

Part 1: MENOPAUSE.

NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US! But by sharing our menopause stories, we can give you hope and, hopefully, the knowledge to arm you with confidence when speaking with your doctor.

What’s stopping you from taking control of your menopause health? Is it fear of Uncertainty? Maybe you think you don’t have enough time to focus on yourself.

Let me tell you, it’s never too late to take the reins and Patti talks to us about her path to feeling better. Menopause isn’t something that should be endured—it’s something you can actively navigate. Yes, it can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to sit back and let it take over.

We women know what it’s like to juggle the demands of life, but your health deserves to be a priority. Don’t let fear hold you back from exploring your options, finding the right treatments, or adjusting your lifestyle to feel better.

If Patti and I can do it, so can you. Ask questions, get informed, and don’t be afraid to make the right changes for you. Let’s break the silence around menopause and show the world what it means to thrive at every stage of life.

Meet Malyasia Harrell, Founder of Blissful Life Consulting | Spiritual Transformation Coach | Mental Health & Wellness Advocate | Psychotherapist | Corporate Wellness Strategist & Consultant | Military Veteran | Keynote Speaker | Author | University Board Member | Philanthropist | Podcast Host.

WOW! That is a lot of accolades😲.

As a psychotherapist, coach, speaker, and veteran, Maylasia has observed how resilience has become a buzzword in our culture. While resilience is important, she likes to take a different approach with her clients and when speaking at events.

It was the life-altering event she experienced in 2020—a near-death encounter, that reshaped her entire perspective and purpose. Being on the other side of the therapy chair, transitioning from caregiver to patient during her own healing journey, allowed Maylasia to cultivate a profound level of empathy and understanding. It is this deeply personal experience that now fuels her passion for assisting others in their own paths to healing and empowerment.

The near-death experience served as a catalyst for Malaysia to delve deeper into complementary and alternative medicine, seeking holistic approaches that address not just the physical, but also the emotional and spiritual dimensions of wellness. This journey also led her to become a staunch advocate for suicide prevention and mental health awareness, recognizing the crucial role of emotional well-being in overall health.

The company Malaysia founded, Blissful Life Consulting, is dedicated to providing holistic wellness solutions that integrate traditional therapy with complementary and alternative approaches for individuals, groups, leaders, and employees. Their vision is to inspire a world where holistic well-being is a fundamental human right, accessible to all, fostering resilience, joy, and purpose.

It was such a pleasure having Malyasia on the podcast. I am deeply grateful and will be keeping tabs on her to see what amazing things she'll do next!

Be sure to grab her new book when it launches! "God Has My Six. Igniting Your Spitituality To Manifest Your Dream Life".

I’m excited to share a glimpse into the inspiring journey of my friend, AnaLori Smith, whom I met through the amazing free weekly sober coaching calls with SHE WALKS CANADA. Since January, I’ve come to know AnaLori as the beautiful, funny, intelligent, tiny queen she truly is. I really had no idea what her sober story entailed and I knew nothing of her early life.

During our sober calls, we often touch on personal stories, but it wasn’t until recently that I learned just how remarkable AnaLori’s journey has been. From the start, she’s captivated us with her vibrant spirit (her growth in sobriety is incredible), but the depths of her experiences are nothing short of astonishing.

AnaLori’s life began with tragedy. Sadly, her mother passed away during childbirth in a war-torn country leaving AnaLori, who also has Cerebral Palsy, orphaned and alone. After a few months in an orphanage, she was adopted by an American family who lovingly brought her into their large family (9 children in total! AL is the youngest) but like many of us, as she grew into her teenage years, AnaLori discovered that alcohol could help with social anxiety and all of the other challenges teens experience. And once alcohol got into her system, well, she was off to the races.

Intrigued? You should be! I am not going to give it all away here -- you are just going to have to take a listen! I will give you a hint! AnaLori used to be confined to a wheelchair but a few months ago she donated it to someone in need❤️ since she can now walk with just her walker and of course, ride around town on her little yellow bike!

Her journey reminds us that transformation is possible, even when the odds seem stacked against us. AnaLori is not just a survivor; she’s a beacon of hope for all of us navigating our paths. I’m grateful to have her in my life and to witness the incredible strides she’s made.

Let’s celebrate AnaLori by sharing this incredible podcast episode with everyone you know, and following her on Instagram @analorismith.

Thank you, AnaLori, for SHARING OUT LOUD with me. It was truly an honor to have you on the pod.

xoxo,
Heather
