In this inspiring episode of Menopause Conversations I sat down with Carren Smith, a recognised Australian number 1 International Speaker, who's talks often focus on overcoming adversity, personal transformation and finding purpose.

As a survivor of the Bali bombings, Carren faced immense tragedy, losing her two best friends in the attack and endured years of depression. She draws on her own experience of trauma and recovery to inspire audiences worldwide making her a prominent figure in resilience, self-discovery and spiritual growth. What happened in Bali transformed Carren's life and led her to discover the power of universal connection.

Carren shares her journey from a high-achieving, Type-A businesswoman to someone who now lives with "effortless ease."

Together, we dive into meaningful topics such as letting go, acceptance, ego versus essence, and discovering your true self, especially in midlife when so many women begin to question their purpose and identity.

This episode offers deep insight into:

• The difference between letting go and acceptance.
• How ego and essence impact how we show up in the world.
• The importance of self-discovery and embracing ease during midlife transitions.

I hope Carren's personal story of resilience and transformation will leave you feeling inspired and empowered.
