Navigating Life Changes

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and isolated as a woman in midlife? Trust me, you're not alone.  Join me as I explore the societal pressures and expectations that can make this phase of life challenging, from our changing bodies to evolving family dynamics. I’m here to normalize the experience and remind you that we're all in this together. In this empowering conversation, I dive into the importance of cultivating relationships outside of our partnerships, embracing the physical changes that come with aging, and asking for help as we become matriarchs and caretakers of our families.  Listen in as I also discuss how to live your best life during midlife and beyond by intentionally surrounding yourself with supportive friends and preserving your health now for a more independent, vital, and vibrant future.  Chapter Summaries: Navigating Midlife as a Woman (0:00:05)  We discuss societal pressures, family dynamics, changing bodies, menopause, and retirement expectations of women in midlife.
