Menopause Support and Emotional Peace
Michelle Hardwick, founder of Release Peace, discussed her 25-year journey in women's health, particularly focusing on menopause support. She shared her personal menopausalexperience at 45 after long-term use of birth control pills, which led her to develop natural approaches to menopause management. Michelle explained how her practice has evolved over the years, noting that many women she worked with in their 30s are now in their 50s and 60s, and she emphasized her focus on emotional support and helping women and their partners achieve peace during this life transition.
Gail and Michelle discussed the impact of energy and emotions, emphasizing the importance of releasing past traumas and stories. Michelle noted that women's bodies going through physiological changes can trigger the emergence of past issues, highlighting the need for new strategies that align with the body's current state.
We talked about the process of personal transformation and healing, particularly in relation to menopause and mid-life transitions. Michelle explored how embracing change andallowing oneself to grieve past ways of being can lead to a new sense of self and connection with others. Evolving beyond past mistakes is key to personal growth and creating stronger relationships in this new chapter of life.
Michelle discussed the rapid and continuous changes happening today, emphasizing the need to adapt and let go of control. Observing and allowing changes to unfold, rather than fighting or controlling them, is essential.
We discussed the importance of discernment and personal alignment in making choices and how childhood. experiences shape control and resistance patterns in adulthood. Letting go of control and judgment allows for observation and potential growth, while maintaining awareness of one's true self helps in making conscious choices rather than automatic responses.
Michelle discussed the importance of awareness and personal responsibility in shaping one's life experiences. She shared her perspective on co-creating life events and the transformative power of love in healing. We explored how focusing on love and positive action can help shift energy and bring about healing, even in challenging situations.
Michelle A. Hardwick’s work focuses on helping women release the emotional and energetic blocks that often intensify during menopause. Rather than simplymanaging symptoms, she guides women to understand that menopause is an invitation to transform - to let go of who they've been and step into a more authentic, peaceful version of themselves.
Michelle is currently writing Menopause Wingman, a groundbreaking guide (due out in 2026) that is truly unique - written with men, by men, for men. Drawing from her own 10+ year menopausal journey with her husband John, as well as the real feedback and experiences of men navigatingthis transition alongside their partners, the book offers practical, emotionally intelligent support that speaks directly to husbands and partners in their own language.
