Menopause is often portrayed as a challenging and uncomfortable phase of life that we just have to “get through”… But does it really have to be that way?
What if we could reframe menopause not as a negative part of life, but as an empowering journey of self-discovery and renewal?
We had the pleasure to collaborate with Dr. Aviva Romm, a Yale-trained physician and best-selling author who is on a mission to help women reclaim their health and embrace their power at every stage of life – especially during menopause.
We’re going to dive into five empowering truths about menopause that can rewrite the narrative and change the game for women (and explore how Tapping can support you on this journey).
But first, let’s meet Dr. Aviva Romm.

5 empowering truths about menopause from Dr. Romm
Let’s explore five empowering truths about menopause, inspired by Dr. Romm’s wisdom:
1. Menopause is not an ending – it’s a new beginning
Many women view menopause as the end of a chapter, but Dr. Romm encourages us to see it differently – as an exciting new beginning. This phase of life is an opportunity to rediscover yourself, to explore what makes you feel alive, whole, and fulfilled. It’s a chance to rekindle your inner spark and embark on new adventures.
Here’s your mantra:
“I’m open to embracing this as an exciting new beginning.”
2. Your body is changing, and that can be a beautiful thing!
It’s easy to judge ourselves and our bodies as they change during menopause.
However, Dr. Romm invites us to shift our perspective and open ourselves up to seeing beauty in the changes.
She encourages you to embrace the idea that you can fall in love with your current self, your current body, and your current life. This is your opportunity to find peace in the present moment and appreciate the beauty of this new phase.
Here’s your mantra:
“I am open to seeing beauty in the changes, and loving and accepting myself through this transition.”
3. You have the power to feel calm and empowered
Menopause can bring worry and stress, but those don’t have to overtake your entire experience.
As Dr. Romm affirms, you can find peace within yourself, no matter what external changes are happening. By honoring the natural cycles of your body with love and navigating changes with an open heart, you can cultivate a sense of inner strength and serenity. You and your body are powerful and resilient – so you trust that!
Here’s your mantra:
“I am open to feeling more calm and empowered.”
4. Menopause symptoms don’t have to define your life
While menopause can bring challenges like sleep disturbances, mood swings, and brain fog, Dr. Romm reminds us that these symptoms don’t have to control our lives. With the right mindset and support, you can manage these changes effectively.
Dr. Romm encourages us to view our bodies as resilient and capable. By cultivating a positive outlook and practicing self-compassion and self-care, we can work harmoniously with our bodies through this transition. Remember that these symptoms are often temporary. Trust in your body’s wisdom and its ability to adjust and heal.
Here are some mantras for you:
“I am open to having a restful night’s sleep tonight.”
“Clarity is available to me whenever I need it.”
“Ease is flowing through every cell in my body.”
“My body is resilient and strong.”
5. This is a time to step into your power and do life your own way
Menopause is a time of profound growth and insight. Embrace the wealth of experience and knowledge you’ve accumulated over the years that have led you to this time of transition.
As you navigate this transition, remember that you have the strength and wisdom to do it your way. You don’t need to conform to anyone else’s expectations or stereotypes about what menopause should look like. This is your journey, and you have the power to make it uniquely yours. So use this time to connect more deeply with what’s most important to you and to shape your life in a way that brings you joy, fulfillment, and purpose.
This is your time to shine, to explore new passions, to set new goals, and to create a life that truly resonates with who you are becoming.
Here’s your mantra:
“I choose to do this my way, and step into my most powerful self.”
