Midlife identity shift? You're not alone.
If you’ve ever said “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” or “I’m tired, stuck, or lost,” this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of The Menopause Method, we’re exploring the power of what you say after “I am.”
Because those two little words shape your menopause mindset, your habits, and how you show up for your health.
We’ll break down how your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies are impacted by your internal self-talk—and how to gently start rewriting your identity in midlife.

You’ll learn:

• Why “I am” statements are so powerful for women 40+
• How to spot unhelpful identity loops keeping you stuck
• What to say instead to feel stronger, clearer, and more like you

Can I be real with you?

Most of what we’ve been told about menopause is outdated, oversimplified—or just plain wrong. In this episode of The Menopause Method, Cam Allen breaks down 4 harmful menopause myths and how they silently mess with your:

• Physical body (hello, belly fat and exhaustion)
• Emotional body (the tears aren’t just hormones)
• Mental body (you’re not lazy, you’re overloaded)
• Spiritual body (this isn’t the end, it’s the beginning)

This conversation is not about pushing through. It’s about reconnecting with your whole self in midlife and realizing you're not broken. You're in the goo stage before the wings.

Midlife can feel like someone rearranged your whole life and forgot to leave you the instructions.
Your body is changing. Your sleep feels off. The roles you’ve poured yourself into (mom, partner, caregiver, achiever) are shifting.
And somewhere along the way, you’re left wondering: Who even am I now?

This episode of The Menopause Method is a soft, steady invitation back to yourself.
We’re not talking hustle or toxic positivity. We’re talking about identity, self-trust, and how to create change in midlife that actually sticks.

🌿In this episode, you'll hear:
1. The power of “I am” statements
→ Why who you believe you are matters more than what you do

2. How to rebuild self-trust with micro-promises
→ What it means to keep your word to yourself (and why it’s not about discipline)

3. Training your brain to feel safe with change
→ Why your brain resists progress and how to help it feel safe enough to keep going

You’ll walk away with simple, doable ways to shift how you see yourself and reclaim the part of you that’s been waiting for care.

🎧 Listen if you're a midlife woman who’s ever said:
“I don’t even recognize myself anymore.”

“I can’t seem to stay consistent.”

“Something’s off, and I don’t know where to start.”

Why the Scale is Lying to You (and What to Track Instead in Menopause)

If the scale is your only measure of progress, you’re missing the most important wins—especially in menopause.

In this episode of The Menopause Method, I’m inviting you to ditch the outdated mindset that weight is the only marker of success. Whether you’re sleeping better, lifting heavier, or just feeling more like you again—those are the wins that matter.

We’ll talk about:

• How midlife hormonal changes affect weight and body composition
• Why your brain resists progress (and how NLP helps shift that)
• Real-life signs your health is improving (even if the scale says otherwise)
• My favorite non-scale victories to track in menopause
• A client story that shows how muscle gain and fat loss can cancel each other out on the scale—but not in your health
• How to stay consistent through the sticky middle—when life gets life

💥 Stuck in a cycle of cravings, bloating, or burnout
🧠 Frustrated by hormonal weight gain that just doesn’t respond to diet or exercise...

...this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why menopause fatigue and stress are deeply connected
• What cortisol symptoms in midlife look like (spoiler: it’s not just feeling “stressed”)
• How to lower cortisol naturally—without quitting coffee or bubble bathing your life away
• Simple ways to support your nervous system in menopause and finally feel like you again
