About this listen

The ultimate positive, practical guide to menopause.

‘This book is a welcome friend.’ Emma Barnett

‘The ‘Artists Way’ of menopause’ Sophie Fletcher, author of the bestselling Mindful Hypnobirthing, Mindful Mamma and Mindful Menopause

It’s time to re-frame menopause.

Perimenopause can sometimes feel like the rug has been pulled from under our feet and this can leave us feeling disempowered and lost. Second Spring is a new kind of menopause book, bringing the radical notion that with small changes and a clear-eyed look at what’s no longer serving you, you can reclaim your vitality and joy in life.

Second Spring offers a new vision for menopause, mapping the psychological phases and showing how this period in your life can be a time of personal growth. Like your slightly sweary best friend, Kate Codrington guides you through managing physical challenges with lifestyle changes and understanding what might be causing them. Whether you choose a natural route, HRT or a combination of both, there’s a wealth of self-care practices available here to soothe your symptoms. These include journaling prompts, practical tips and soulful enquiries real-life solutions for managing symptoms with kindness, helping you to become the person you always longed to be.

What we need in challenging times is not shame or pushing through, but to treat ourselves with care and compassion.

This book is the holistic guide to Menopause. Kate is extremely knowledgeable and her narration is warm and comforting. I thoroughly enjoyed listening from start to finish and feel very empowered to find myself in the surrender stage of transition to my own second spring. Thrilled that I am now better equipped to give 'no fucks'. Highly recommended.
