![]() Embracing the Deep Freeze: Insights from Freezer Burn In the heart of a bone-chilling Texan night, where the cold cut through layers like a knife, I found myself at FreezerBurn — a local Burn event near Austin. Having previously danced on the sun-kissed Playa and reveled in the warmth and sometimes rain of several local Burns, this frosty escapade unfolded as a new and exhilarating chapter in my Burning Man adventures. Dressed for the Arctic, Dancing with Fervor: Freezer Burn, a local Burn event far removed from the desert sands, showcased an array of costumes that were not just expressions of creativity but also crucial shields against the biting cold. As I twirled and danced under the stars (SOOOOOO many we could see!), the freezing temperatures added a layer of challenge to the familiar rhythm of Burn events. Those of you who know me, cold weather is not my favorite. Conversations Amidst the Frost: Around crackling fires that fought valiantly against the deep freeze, conversations unfolded, mirroring the mission of Alive and Healing Now. Dialogues delved into the intricacies of wellness, navigating the unique journey of postmenopausal women, and the empowering transformations possible during this distinctive phase of life. Connections that Thawed the Chill: The real warmth of the night emanated not just from the fires but from the genuine connections forged in the midst of the bone-chilling cold. These conversations weren't mere exchanges; they were powerful catalysts for change, resonating deeply with the essence of guiding women through the postmenopausal journey. Alive and Healing Now: Defying the Freeze: In the midst of this frigid Texan night, I shared the spirit of Alive and Healing Now — a dedication to empowering women during the postmenopausal phase. This coaching practice isn't confined to nutrition and fitness; it's about asking the right questions, providing unwavering support, and offering a personalized roadmap to optimal health, even in the face of extreme challenges. Empowering Women in the Texan Tundra: The biting cold at Freezer Burn served as a metaphor for the challenges women face during postmenopause, a stark contrast to the scorching desert sands of the Playa. Yet, just as burners united to share warmth and understanding, Alive and Healing Now seeks to create a nurturing space for women, even in the heart of a Texan tundra. Lessons from the Deep Freeze: As the echoes of Freezer Burn linger in memory, I carry back not just tales of a bone-chilling Texan night but the warmth of connections and conversations that fuel my mission. In the realm of wellness coaching, the lessons from extreme environments resonate deeply — transformation happens when we brave the elements, connect with others, and commit to the journey of vibrant health, even in the face of a biting freeze.
