Midlife as Your Second Becoming

What if midlife isn’t a crisis, but a second rite of passage? In this episode, I reframe perimenopause as your body’s next evolution, not its failure. You’ll learn why your symptoms aren’t malfunctions but messages, how puberty and perimenopause mirror each other, and why decoding your body’s signals is the key to feeling strong, clear, and in control again.

With a blend of body wisdom, practical empowerment, and a guided somatic check-in, this episode invites you to stop fighting your body — and start listening.

Midlife isn’t your breakdown. It’s your becoming. Let your body lead.

In this episode, I break down what’s actually going on in your gut from the Enteric Nervous System (yes, we have 3 nervous systems!) and the vagus nerve to inflammatory foods, microbiome chaos and the health connection. We’re skipping the wellness industry BS and getting into science-backed solutions.

You’ve been sold a lie and it’s called “work-life balance.” In this episode, I’m breaking down why chasing balance is wrecking your sleep, wrecking your nervous system and keeping you stuck in a cycle of guilt and burnout.

If you’re constantly trying to give 100% to everything your job, your family, your partner, your inbox and the laundry but still feel like you’re failing, this one’s for you. I’ll share why balance is a BS performance metric, what your body actually needs instead, and how to start living in work-life harmony that doesn’t require sacrificing your health or sanity.

We’re talking weekly grooves, energy check-ins, and realistic expectations, no toxic positivity, no hustle hacks, just honest tools for building a life that works with you, not against you.
