Self-sabotage is a silent adversary many women face, especially during the tumultuous journey of menopause. In the latest Menopause Mastery Podcast episode, “How to Stop Self-Sabotage,” Dr. Betty Murray shares powerful strategies to overcome it. Through insightful analogies, actionable advice, and the introduction of her new supplement Estrobalance Mastery, she offers a path to reclaiming your energy and breaking free from habits that hold you back.
Reclaiming Control: Strategies to Overcome Self-Sabotage
Picking Up the Monkey
Dr. Murray uses the metaphor of “picking up the monkey,” from a Harvard Business Review analogy, to describe the unnecessary burdens women often assume due to societal and gender roles. These “monkeys” drain energy and reinforce self-sabotaging tendencies.
The Satellite Effect: Juggling Too Much
Women often act as satellites, orbiting family and work obligations, leading to energy depletion. Recognizing this pattern is the first step to change.
Tools to Thrive
Introducing Estrobalance Mastery
Dr. Murray introduces Estrobalance Mastery, a supplement designed to manage perimenopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and cognitive disruptions. Ingredients like DIM, flax seed extract, and green tea extract help balance hormones and restore comfort and vitality.
Strategies for Energy Conservation
- Not My Monkey, Not My Circus: Change your mindset to let go of tasks that aren’t yours, conserve your energy, and hold others accountable.
- Simplify Decision-Making: Streamline routines to reduce mental fatigue and foster better self-care.
- Prioritize Self-Care: Activities like meditation, exercise, and hobbies replenish depleted energy reserves.
- Set Boundaries: Learn to say no and delegate tasks that don’t align with your well-being.
The Energetic Backpack
Dr. Murray explains the concept of the “energetic backpack,” a metaphor for the responsibilities and emotional weight women carry. Evaluating and lightening this load allows for growth, balance, and a reclaimed sense of purpose.
Foster Growth and Connect
Dr. Betty Murray concludes with the significance of addressing unresolved issues and seeking feedback. Sharing experiences and connecting with supportive communities—including following her on social media—can offer additional insights.
