The Menopause Queen Podcast – Episode 22 The Power of Circle: When Women Gather, We Rise Together There is something deeply healing that happens when women come together. For generations, women gathered around fires, in kitchens, by rivers and under the moon. They came together not to compete, but to share stories, wisdom, laughter, tears and the simple medicine of being seen and heard. Somewhere...

The danger when you under value & under express yourself There is a kind of exhaustion that does not only come from lack of sleep… but from holding yourself back from being who you truly are. When we start doing things “the right way.” Becoming smaller. Quieter. More acceptable. When we avoid taking up space, expressing ourselves, or valuing who we are out of fear of judgement, rejection, or b...

You are constantly emanating energy. Through your words. Your body. Your choices. Your silence. Your presence. And somewhere along the way, many of us began telling stories about ourselves that were never truly ours. Welcome to  ⁨@themenopausequeen⁩  by  ⁨@CharlotteSaintJean⁩  I am a self proclaimed menopausal Queen, corporate witch and passionate about life! This is a space I use for therapy for...

Episode 19 of The Menopause Queen Podcast arrives under the powerful energy of the May Flower Full Moon 🌕🌸 A moment of blossoming. Of revelation. Of seeing ourselves — and our lives — through a new lens. In this episode, I explore the transformational perspective shifts that menopause can invite into our lives. Not as an ending… but as a deep recalibration. A return to what is essential, authent...

There are moments when the energy around us feels more intense… and right now, the energy of Aquarius is no exception. ⚡️ In this episode of The Menopause Queen I invite you to explore this powerful wave — one that can both shake you and awaken you. An energy that is fast, electric, almost unpredictable… pushing you to react, to respond, to move beyond your comfort zone. But the real question is:...

What if everything was simply a matter of perspective… 🤍 In this episode, I invite you to explore those moments of doubt — when comparison creeps in, when you feel like you’re not enough… Not far enough, not successful enough, not where you “should” be. That feeling of failure, so familiar at times, often comes from seeing yourself through the lens of others. But what if you shifted the angle? Wh...

The Menopause Queen Podcast – Episode 16 What if the biggest obstacles in our lives are not the ones outside of us… but the ones we quietly carry within? In this episode of The Menopause Queen , I explore the subtle ways limiting beliefs and self-sabotage can shape our choices, our energy, and the stories we tell ourselves about what is possible. We also step into the symbolism of the Chinese Year...

There was a time when lighting a candle felt “woo woo.” When pulling an oracle card felt strange. When speaking about energy, intuition, cycles or ritual felt like stepping outside the norm. And yet… our grandmothers prayed. Our ancestors marked the moon. They baked bread with intention, blessed the fields, whispered wishes into the wind. What we now call “woo woo” was once simply life. In this vi...

Menopause – The fog, the fears… and the magic beyond The Be A Queen approach Menopause often feels like entering a fog. An in-between space. There is the mental fog that comes unexpectedly. Words slipping away. Focus feeling fragile. A sense of not functioning “as you used to.” There can also be anxiety, unease , sometimes fears with no clear reason , as if something inside suddenly starts questio...

It’s the little things that matter most. The quiet moments in between. The subtle spaces where life is truly felt, not always seen. A word spoken with care. A boundary respected. A pause that allows the body to breathe. An act of kindness toward yourself, especially when everything feels uncertain. In The Menopause Queen , we speak into those spaces. The in-between years. The unseen transformation...

The Wolf Moon & the Passage Into the New Year The Menopause Queen – Episode 12 There is something ancient about the passage into a new year. A threshold moment where time feels thinner, quieter, more symbolic. A moment when we are invited not to rush forward… but to listen. Under the light of the Wolf Moon , we are reminded of our dual nature. The part of us that knows how to walk alone. And t...

Which Version of You Are You Ready to Become? There comes a moment — often quietly, often without ceremony — when we realise that some versions of ourselves have reached the end of their journey. Not because they were wrong. Not because they failed. But because they were created for a season that has now passed. The woman who pushed through exhaustion. The woman who stayed small to keep the peace....

The Menopause Queen – Episode 7 Anxiety, Care Hormones & Confidence During menopause, our inner chemistry shifts — the “care hormones” that once helped us nurture everyone else start to quiet down. And with those changes can come waves of anxiety, self-doubt, and a loss of confidence . But this isn’t the end of your strength — it’s the invitation to redirect your care toward yourself. To rebui...

Trust in the unfolding of life. The seasons are never late — and you are always right on time. Life is aligned, offering you only what you are able to hold, to grow with, to thrive in. But the unfolding happens only when you allow it. You cannot force it — life’s generosity is not delivered on demand. The unfolding, the Dao, the Lila — is the Divine play of synchronicity. It arrives the moment you...
