This is excellent. My spouse and I have been using your 20 minute seated cardio (degenerative discs) for two weeks and love it. Suddenly today, I said, I'm really anxious for some reason. I'm going to look for a seated cardio video that emphasizes mindfulness (lol – Google search results weren't quite that specific) and this is the video I ended up watching.

It is inspirational. You have genuine empathy and warmth and are clearly very intelligent & knowledgeable. You are an excellent educator, too. I am also an educator, and I'm so impressed with those who can make me excited about what they're teaching me. You have accomplished that. You are also very likeable.

I feel positive and hopeful that I can lose stress then weight by following these simple and obviously valid steps. Thank you!

What if just the thought of journaling causes you major stress? I cannot stand journaling so…?

Erna Cooper says:

I'm sure you're right. What a relief to hear what you said about stress. No one can speak honestly about what postmenopausal women REALLY experience who are not postmenopausal women, themselves. Thank you so much. 💕

I just stumbled upon your channel, as it came into my feed. I do believe for a good reason. I have been struggling badly with belly fat for the past 2-3 yrs since being in menopause about 6yrs ago at age 50yrs….(I'm now 56yrs). Im technically post menopausal, but still have some symptoms. I try to exercise everyday, despite having low energy, but the belly fat is stubbornly staying, which is very depressing for me, to say the least. So much so…..that I don't want to look at my body in the mirror at all now! It's so disheartening when you try and try to lose the weight, and literally see no change at all. More so, because I've always been slim my whole life, and flexible and energetic. Then…..literally, the weight stacked on almost overnight, it seems. I feel like a completely different person….like my body has been hijacked, and another fatter body has been put in its place! Very depressing. You really explained things well in this video….and I now understand how much stress has played a part in my menopausal journey. I had a few deaths in my family, at the same time my menopause started, then lost my home shortly after a legal battle. This is when my anxiety really flared up…..and my mental state became a challenge. I have had constant bouts of insomnia since menopause started….and still deal with that issue today. I believe the cortisol levels in my system have kept my body at a constant state of stress, which has, in turn, told my body to store fat, and wreck havoc with my bodys natural rythmn. I am really grateful for your no nonsense approach to this issue, as often Doctors can either dismiss our feelings, or over complicate it with medical jargon, and make us feel more overwhelmed and depressed. So…..I look forward now to watching your videos, and getting some good, solid, useful, information to help me on my continuing journey. Thankyou.

The ugly truth.

Grandma here. The tweener years are especially hard. Been there & done that. But I will always remember going to visit my Mom every day at the nursing home after work. My Mom would raise her arms & say "my baby" & I would walk in & up to her & she would say "pretty eyes." & I would say "just like yours" & we would kiss. It's 1 of the very best memories I have. Do whatever is necessary to make the last of time you have with your one & only Mom the best of your memories that you can take with you to your grave so you regret nothing. Do not forget your children though! Although this time of your life their life is with their friends. You have to have made sure earlier like 2nd grade or so that the friends are good knowing there will come a time when you know your kids want privacy & freedom to grow but your Mom truly needs you. So you have to trust your kids to do right at a time they want nothing to do with you & be there for Mom who desperately needs you & you will miss out on something great if you fail your Mom for your kids. By the way my kids turned out great & I have 4 grandchildren.

I don't have post-menopausal belly fat, but I certainly have a post-menopausal belly bump, although I am very slender everywhere else 171 cms/ 54 Kgs. This pouch is so annoying; sometimes it looks like I am pregnant!! it is obviously worse in the morning. I am looking into the Fodmaps, to see if it is going to make a difference.
