In this first episode of the Women’s History Month Reset series, Dr. Peggie Kirkland (PK) explores one of the most important pillars of self-care: mental wellness for midlife women.

Many women over 50 have spent decades caring for children, partners, careers, and communities—often putting their own emotional needs on the back burner.

But midlife can bring new challenges:

• empty nest transitions
• identity shifts
• caregiving stress
• career changes
• loneliness or burnout

In this episode, PK shares research-based insights on mental health, common warning signs of emotional overload, and practical ways to protect your mental well-being.

You’ll also learn:

• how to recognize mental health signals your body may be sending
• why many midlife women delay seeking support
• how self-care strengthens your ability to care for others
• why making yourself a priority is not selfish—it’s necessary

If you’re navigating life after raising children, redefining your identity, or entering a new chapter, this conversation will help you build a stronger foundation for your next season.
