Is Money The Root of All Evil? (The Best of The Menopause Movement Podcast Episode 15)

I was certain I was going to be happy when I become a surgeon and I worked hard for it until I became one. But I had this moment 15 years ago while I was sitting in my office, and I thought, “Is this it?” In midlife, most of us are starting to look for meaning in our lives. We’ve served other people for years, and some of us are retired now or maybe our kids have grown up… So what do we do with the extra time? Have you ever thought about getting connected to Source?
