Shit Is the Best Fertilizer: How Menopause Challenges Can Fuel Your Growth

Shit is the best fertilizer

Menopause can feel like a total mess and honestly, it kind of is. The exhaustion, the mood swings, the brain fog… it can feel like everything around you is falling apart.

But here’s a little truth bomb I want to share: Shit is the best fertilizer. 💩🌱

I know, it sounds messy (and maybe a little gross), but hear me out. Just like plants need rich, broken-down nutrients to grow strong, your toughest seasons even menopause can be the soil for something amazing. Menopause isn’t the end of your story. It’s a transition into a new, stronger, and more authentic you.

So, how do you turn this messy, confusing season into a launchpad for growth? Let’s talk about it.


1. Menopause Feels Like a Breakdown, But It’s Actually a Breakthrough

It’s super common to feel like you’re losing yourself during menopause. Hot flashes hit out of nowhere, your mood swings like crazy, and you’re wiped out all the time. It can feel like your body is betraying you.

But what if instead of fighting against it, you saw these changes as a sign that something new is happening?

Growth almost never comes from comfort zones. It comes from challenge and change.

Your body isn’t trying to sabotage you. It’s asking for something different. Menopause is your chance to redefine what health, happiness, and self-care look like for YOU.


2. The Messiness of Menopause Creates the Perfect Conditions for Growth

Think about the hardest times you’ve been through in life. Those moments probably shaped you into who you are now. Menopause works the same way.

Instead of just trying to “survive” this phase, try shifting your mindset:

Your body is wise – Symptoms are signals, not punishments. They’re guiding you toward a new way of living.
Change makes room for better things – Just like clearing out a garden makes space for new growth, menopause clears away what no longer serves you.
Struggles lead to strength – Every challenge you face is building resilience, wisdom, and a deeper connection with yourself.

If you let it, menopause can be the most empowering season of your life.


3. You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

One of the biggest mistakes I see? Trying to handle menopause solo.

This isn’t something you just “deal with” on your own. It’s a season you can manage—and even thrive in—with the right tools, support, and guidance.
