146 - Sexy and Spiritual in Menopause: Lisa Fitzpatrick on Reclaiming Your Sensuality and Sovereignty in Midlife
The Abundance Club | Manifestation and Spiritual GrowthShow Notes
Menopause, midlife desire, and reclaiming your erotic power — this episode is a masterclass in seeing menopause not as decline, but as spiritual initiation. Pelvic and sexual health educator Lisa Fitzpatrick joins Amy Wilkinson to unpack the science and soul of midlife desire, and why the years everyone fears might be the most powerful of a woman's life. Lisa was a physiotherapist, feminine empowerment coach, and pelvic health expert — until her own body and heart brought her to her knees. Three months into menopause, her fiancé of nine years left her for a woman 20 years younger. What followed was a dark night of the soul that cracked open everything she thought she knew about worth, power, and eroticism. In this conversation, Lisa and Amy explore menopause as a ten-year initiation — a "medicine of subtraction" that strips away everything inauthentic and makes way for a woman's deepest spiritual power. They talk about why women in their 40s and 50s are statistically the most likely to divorce or consider suicide — and why women in their 60s and 70s are statistically the happiest and most fulfilled they've ever been. You'll hear about: Why menopausal symptoms are messengers, not malfunctions The link between outsourcing your worth and physical/hormonal distress Reclaiming sensuality and sexuality as spiritual power, not something that expires Learning to receive after a lifetime of giving Lisa's dark night of the soul — and the "divine rescue" she now sees in it About Lisa: Lisa Fitzpatrick is a female pelvic and sexual health educator and physiotherapist, writer, and keynote speaker.

In this episode, I’m joined by the beautiful Dr Gregory Dunn-Smith, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Metaphysics Specialist who I first met in yoga teacher training more than 20 years ago. Greg describes “spiritual amnesia” as the forgetting that happens when we arrive in this human experience. We explore his perspective that your soul already holds the knowing, and that the journey is about remembering how to connect with it. This conversation is full of depth, laughter and those moments of recognition that bring you back to yourself. We talk about soul contracts, spiritual awakening, what the body may be communicating, and how to keep choosing your soul when fear and familiarity want to lead. We also explore that sometimes lonely space where you’re outgrowing an old identity, but your relationships and surroundings haven’t quite caught up. If you’ve been feeling that, there is so much here for you. In this episode, we explore: Spiritual amnesia, soul contracts and the experience of remembering.

What if the real delusion is believing that what you can currently see is all that’s possible? In this episode, Amy takes the word “delusional” out of its clinical context and looks at it philosophically. The invitation isn’t to become less delusional. It’s to become less convinced by the illusion, so you can de-illusion and choose again from soul certainty instead of waiting for proof. Amy shares how the biggest manifestations in her own life came from decisions made before the evidence was there, and why the proof always arrives after the leap. In this episode: Why your choice precedes the proof, and why the net appears after you jump The illusion that your safety lives “out there” in money, jobs, possessions, or health Soul certainty: knowing who you are without knowing how it will unfold Why your inner knowing counts as evidence How familiar thoughts and patterns keep you stuck in Groundhog Day De-illusion: separating from the 3D narrative so you can choose what to energize
