- Have you ever heard of an "identity crisis?" It's when a person looks in the mirror and says, "Who am I?" Usually, an identity crisis is associated with a void in someone’s life. Did you know that identity crises are common at the time of menopause? Join me in this video to learn all about it.

You know, the last several video's have been "raw", so full of truth. The difference with you, Dr. Barbie, and other gynecologist's (M.D's) is you're not only a gifted doctor, you've taken the time to delve into the deep, emotional side to us women, and I love you for it! No wonder you've chos en to do siminar's, radio shows, and thank The Lord- RUclips! 💜💜💜
You deserve the whole package, Cindy. It's not fair to treat menopause is solely a medical matter, It's so much more than that. In the course of these videos (as well as in my seminar), I make sure to address all the different aspects of your life as a menopausal woman. All women are different. The things that affect us most are different. You can count on me to cover all the bases. I love it!
As uncomfortable as perimenopause makes me, your videos always bring me comfort. So glad to see you continuing to make videos despite your circumstances. Thank you.
There will be no interruption in your video education. You can count on me to publish a video every week. I'm committed to you, and nothing will keep me from making sure you get what you need and want.
I’m a healthcare professional so I went right back to work after my babies and some downtime because corporate America doesn’t believe in “motherhood”; but I never allowed others to treat me like a doormat.....I always made time for me and still do even now. My hubby knows not to bother me while I watch your videos 😂 but really, if I lose myself while playing all these other roles or place myself last while doing so, then what good am I to anybody else? I have a few friends who fit that exact picture you described.....at some point we all crash no matter how put together you may appear. So refreshing to listen to you say exactly what most women need to hear....thank you!! And Amen!
You are one of the smart ones, Mona. It's so refreshing to encounter a woman who understands that she can't be good to others if she is not good to herself.
The best explanation about menopausal identity crisis I ever seen , so clear to the point.Thank you!
I'm so glad it resonated with you. I love the creativity of coming up with the best and funnest ways to teach you.
I’m 51 now and I wish I would have heard this advice 30 years ago. It’s never to late to start though. Thank you for this very important message!
My big dream is for all women to get this education in their 20s! Just imagine how different their lives (and the world) would be.
Wonderful presentation ❤. This IS the truth and nothing but the truth.
You can always count on the whole truth and the whole story from me.
This was all so on point, good for you for being so in tune with your patient's needs them, that you are able to know just what to talk about to help us now! 👏🏼 I'm a mother of 3, all still home, and I took 20yrs to earn my degree with many breaks here and there to have babies, support spouse's career, move around the world, care for sick family members, etc. but I am so grateful that I never fully gave up as I didn't want to resent my family for not having gotten it at all. So glad I trudged along with it, painstakingly at times, from age 18 - age 40, to have something of my own to have after my comma. All the hours spent studying at the kids' soccer practice was not in vain! 🙏🏼📚 All this to say, you're right, and also that so much is possible if we can push on through and not lose ourselves in the many roles we play as women, just helping the world go round. 💗
BOOM!!! You hit the nail on the head. I love what you are sharing here.
It's true, isn't it! I love "watching" you get this education.
Sometimes I want to put various likes because you deserve it, Dr.Taylor
How sweet of you! Thank you so much. I'll take al the likes I can get!
I found you just in time and I'm obsessed! I'm so happy to know you are vegan. I gave up animal products last December and it has changed my life. Drinking "Natural Calm" before bed helps me sleep through some of the night sweats. You are my new role model. Thank you for sharing. 🙌🏻
Christina,
Welcome! I'm so happy to be able to help you. I'll teach you so much, and cover all categories: diet & lifestyle, vitamins & minerals, botanicals & herbs, hormonal medications, non-hormonal medications, acupuncture, & hypnosis. Thank you for being a part of this.
Hi dr Taylor. Not a lot of comments here. But thank you SO much for talking about this. I think this is SO valid for all women, menopausal or not!
You are so welcome, my dear. I address absolutely everything. And you are very smart to watch absolutely all the videos in order because you will discover so many things you didn't know.
So full of truths of how I am feeling again. Just like the previous videos about divorce, telling your children....Just wow!
Forgot to say I watched this yesterday.
Yep, I definitely tell you the truth about everything!
Thank you very much, Barbara. You are very special. Thank you for your videos. Blessings.
You are so very welcome, Marta. It's my pleasure to make these videos for you.
Biggest hugs to Dr Taylor!!!
I LOVE YOU ! and what you are so graciously giving us women. Bless you. 💝
Well, thank you so much for your appreciation, my dear Anya. Delivering this eduction gives me great joy and gives you great empowerment.
I have not cooked in 25 years (my hubby grew up cooking in his family's Chinese restaurant) and doesn't want me to cook. I hate to cook so that works for me. I have never been . a soccer mom or car pool driver in fact as a NYC girl I don't drive and never learned to. But for me the identity crisis never came because of who I am to other people at all. But as a result of loosing my walking. As a former dancer and martial artist it was hard on me but I found peace in who I am on the inside. Being there for anyone all the time does in prison a person.
Great advice!
Hi Dr. Barbie! You always provide me with a wake up call with every video! I'm having so much fun learning about you AND about myself. You tell us things we may never have thought about. What you're saying here rings so true for me. My daughters are out of the house and my life in that regard slowed down significantly. I ask myself, "What now"? So, my comma is Kathy B, new business owner, entrepreneur, possibly a future author AND the happiest I've been in a long time. Women do dedicate their lives to others before themselves and so what do we do with the time we have in this stage of our lives? We define our identity crisis which comes barreling right in! So thanks to all your videos from 1 to 68, I'm more knowledgeable and I know this chapter in my life is a good one! I'm post menopausal and I'm proud of it!
I love your enthusiasm. And it would be so wonderful if all women were prepared ahead of time so that they didn't have to endure an identity crisis. Little by little, we'll help women everywhere.
I was on board since your first video! Whatever I can do to help...let me know!
Wonderful! As this menopause movement grows, I'll invite women to participate in this phenomenal opportunity to help other women. Stay tuned. I'll have an offer for you at some point.
Date night is SO important! Hubby and I make it a point to have a date night every week. We really enjoy that time alone :-).
You are so right. And it sounds to me like Dan is so Mr. Right!
He has been my angel for 41 years :-). My goodness...I met him when I was 15 years old! Staying power thru thick and thin.
You're an inspiration, my dear. I love "knowing" you.
You have such an insight, you are amazing. I went through an identity crisis when most of my kids left "the nest" and started menopause. Very busy Mom raised 8 kids, home schooled them and no time for myself for many years. Suddenly I felt exactly as you said, like nobody needed me and I had no purpose in life anymore. Felt depressed like I had no reason to be alive.I had no idea that identity crisis are common, I thought I lost my mind. Thankfully I have a part time job now and volunteering to a needy cause and it helped me a lot to feel that I still have things to offer. Having "Me time" became a must. Thank you for your input.
Isn't it wonderful to learn that you're normal. And I congratulate you for managing that transition so well. Now it's your turn. You get to focus on the things you enjoy.
Great video!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I try to address every aspect of menopause, and this is a biggie.
Pretty sad to say the designation after my common is and always has been nothing. I'm just useful to have around when needed...never trusted men after an incident and never wanted kids....The song "A Pirate Looks at 40" by Jimmy Buffett is the story of my life....lost....almost 51 and surgical menopause May 11.
Jeannette,
You can always put something after your comma. And the things you put there yourself are waaaaay better than the things other people put there.
I'm single, child-free, menopausal by surgical means at age 34 (now 61) ... and couldn't imagine being happier than I am now.
Brilliant.
It's just the truth, which is what you'll always get from me.
Thanks so much for this! Could you please tell me how to go about gettingoxytocin? Do you just go to a gynecologist and ask for it or what? Please answer.
Debora,
Unfortunately, we don't have oxytocin in the form of a replacement hormone in the traditional medical community. You will find Alternative & Complementary products that market it as "The Love Hormone." They usually market just about every other kind of hormone, also. Generally speaking, oxytocin is not something we replace when it's gone. The claims I see for these oxytocin replacement products are pure marketing, and not based in scientific fact.
Do you have children @menopause Taylor?
My standard answer to that question is: I have thousands. I just haven't raised any of them.
In other words, I have delivered thousands of babies, but never been pregnant myself.
😀😀😀
So funny!
I try to inject some humor into everything, even the serious topics. It's always best to laugh while you learn.
Would women have mid life crisis like men when they lose their rational and follow the direction their penises point to?
