Welcome back to The Midlife Makeover Show! If you’ve ever asked yourself “Why do I keep ending up in the same kind of relationship?” or “Why is healing from the past so hard?” — today’s episode is your permission slip to start fresh. 💖

Wendy sits down with holistic therapist, relationship coach, and author Megan Sherer, whose new book, Choose Your Self, is already transforming the way women view self-love, healing, and connection. With over a decade of experience and her signature Love Alignment Method, Megan breaks down how somatic healing—yes, healing through the body—can finally help us release those sticky patterns and step into more authentic, aligned love.

From understanding how trauma lives in our bodies to redefining what it means to be your own BFF, this conversation is real, raw, and deeply empowering.

✨ What You’ll Learn:

• Why talk therapy alone might not be enough to break old relationship patterns
• How somatic healing helps your body process trauma and emotional pain
• What “parts work” is and how it helps you embrace your whole self
• The difference between pain and suffering—and how to stop choosing the latter
• What it means to choose yourself in relationships and in life
• Tools to strengthen your inner relationship and self-regulate during triggers

What if the key to better relationships starts with how you treat yourself? In this soul-stirring episode, Wendy sits down with the brilliant Monica Berg—international speaker, Kabbalistic teacher, and author of Rethink Love, Fear is Not an Option, and The Gift of Being Different—to dive into the transformational concept of self-parenting. From healing childhood wounds to challenging limiting beliefs, Monica shares her personal journey of overcoming anorexia, perfectionism, and shame to become a “change junkie” who now helps others reclaim their inner light.

Together, Wendy and Monica explore how to distinguish compromise from sacrifice, why purpose isn’t always a job title, and how taking radical responsibility can lead to spiritual freedom. Plus, you’ll learn why sharing love might just be the most selfish (and soul-fueling) thing you can do.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• What self-parenting really means—and how to practice it
• The surprising difference between compromise and sacrifice in relationships
• Why shame, blame, and guilt are emotional dead-ends—and how to shift out of them
• How to uncover your soul’s purpose without needing all the answers
• Why embracing change is the key to midlife freedom
