Midlife as Metamorphosis and Power with Ashley Turner
Menopause isn’t something to fix — it’s something to honor.
In this deeply resonant conversation, I’m joined by Ashley Turner, LMFT — licensed psychotherapist, psychedelic therapist, yoga-meditation teacher, and founder of the Metamorphosis: Midlife & Menopause Mentorship — to explore menopause as a sacred psycho-spiritual rite of passage.
Ashley vulnerably shares her personal awakening through the overlapping portals of postpartum, perimenopause, and identity unraveling — a journey that led her into the underworld, and ultimately, into her true power and purpose.
Together, we dive into the emotional, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of this season — what Ashley beautifully names a “wintering phase” of feminine evolution.
This conversation is for the woman who feels like something deeper is stirring. Who knows she’s in a threshold, even if she can’t name it. Who senses this time is asking her to shed, remember, and rise.
✨ In this episode, we explore:
The difference between perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause
Hormone therapy (HRT) — how it saved Ashley’s life
Womb grief, hysterectomy trauma, and energetic healing
Changing identity, libido, and confidence during midlife
Why unhealed Maiden wounds resurface during this portal
Psychedelic therapy for deep healing and relational intimacy
Reclaiming the “crone” as a wise, crowned archetype
How this season initiates us into authentic feminine leadership
This isn’t about aging. It’s about awakening.
And your soul knows the way.
