Belinda, a midlife women’s coach, psychologist, and yoga teacher, shares her inspiring journey of overcoming significant personal challenges, including surviving cancer at 26, navigating early medical menopause, business loss and thriving through adversity.

- Navigating Medical Menopause: At just 26, Belinda faced the challenges of medical menopause, a diagnosis rare for someone so young. She discusses how the absence of support at the time led her to self-advocacy and self-awareness.
- The Power of Faith and Values: Belinda shares how her faith served as a guiding light throughout her trauma recovery, helping her align with her values and make life-changing decisions.
- Midlife as a Time of Renewal: Belinda highlights how midlife, often seen as a crisis, can actually be a period of personal renewal and empowerment for women, especially those facing menopause and other life transitions.
- Advocacy and Self-Empowerment: Belinda’s journey underscores the importance of advocating for yourself, whether it’s in the face of health challenges, or navigating life’s other difficult circumstances.
- Mindset and Mantras Matter: Focusing on gratitude, embracing self-compassion, and having a resilient mindset are crucial for overcoming adversity. Belinda’s mantra, "lose a little hair, gain a lot of life," encapsulates the power of shifting focus from what’s lost to what’s gained.
Belinda's story is a beacon of hope for anyone who has faced adversity, from trauma to loss, and wondered if they could ever truly thrive again. Her ability to rise above her experiences, fueled by her faith, values, and commitment to self-advocacy, is a powerful reminder that we are not defined by our setbacks, but by how we choose to move forward.
