In this episode, we talk with Dr. Kristie Foreman and Dr. Heather Buxton about Positive Psychology and its profound impact on women's health. We discuss how Positive Psychology can enhance well being in women, especially those navigating midlife and menopause.
Dr. Foreman and Dr. Buxton share with us the liberating concept of shifting from rigid goals to flexible “directions”, allowing for greater adaptability and self-compassion on your journey towards holistic health. They introduce the PERMA framework, emphasizing the importance of “P” for positive emotions and thinking, “E” for engagement and the gifts of being present, “R” for relationships and meaningful connections, “M” for finding meaning and deeper purpose in your life, and “A” for embracing accomplishments beyond traditional measures. As a practice for reframing your approach to health and wellness, PERMA empowers you to reclaim your sense of self and vitality in every aspect of your life.
Join us in this episode as we tease apart the layers of possibility and personal agency you can gain when embracing a Positive Psychology approach on your health journey.
