Life has a way of reminding you that there are still things stuck in you. In this episode LaShonda shares an unscripted reflection on how unconscious beliefs shape our decisions, relationships, and self-worth—especially in midlife. After noticing herself repeatedly rejecting a new opportunity and feeling a physical “block,” she unpacks how hidden beliefs formed in childhood can quietly run the show.

In this emotional wellness episode, she guides listeners on how using the Adult Chair Model can help explain how younger versions of ourselves influence present-day reactions, triggers, comparison, and self-sabotage. She offers practical insight into recognizing these patterns and reclaiming control with intention and awareness.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, questioned your worth, or struggled with self-doubt, this episode will help you identify and shift the unconscious stories holding you back.

💫 In this episode:

• What unconscious beliefs are and how they impact your daily life
• How childhood experiences shape adult behavior and emotional patterns
• The Adult Chair Model explained for personal growth and healing
• How to identify and challenge limiting beliefs and negative self-talk
• Three simple steps to rewire unproductive beliefs and create emotional freedom

Love evolves, especially in midlife and the nervous system support you need at 25 is often very different from what you need at 45.

Many women in their 40s and 50s begin reassessing relationships, emotional needs, and personal identity. Midlife is not a crisis—it’s a rebirth of emotional clarity, where we begin asking deeper questions about connection, authenticity, and the relationships that truly support our well-being.

This episode explores the 7 types of love—Eros, Philia, Storge, Agape, Pragma, Ludus, and Philautia—and how each one transforms during midlife. You’ll learn how emotional safety, nervous system regulation, boundaries, and self-love shape healthier connections in romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and within yourself.

If you’ve been feeling a shift in what you want from love, partnership, and connection, this episode will help you understand why—and how to move forward with clarity and compassion.

In this episode, we discuss:
01:11 How Midlife Love Shifts how women relate to love

06:13 Eros Passion Reimagined

07:50 Philia and evolving Friendships

10:58 Storge and Family Dynamics

14:14 Agape and Unconditional Grace
