She wakes up one morning and barely recognizes the woman in the mirror — not because anything dramatic happened, but because decades of being everyone’s everything have slowly blanked out who she really is. In this episode Amanda, the Human Thrive Coach, guides you through that exact moment: the midlife identity breakpoint where hormones, roles, and habits collide and whisper, gently or loudly, What about me?

Through a mix of neuroscience, somatic practices, and story-driven guidance, Amanda unpacks why your nervous system clings to the old identity and why simple willpower hasn’t worked. She stakes the case that this restlessness is not failure but invitation — an evolutionary nudge toward the person you were always meant to become.

Listen as she walks you step-by-step through a practical, gentle reset: two stick figures on a page to map who you are now and who you’re becoming, breath work to calm the nervous system, and a tiny but powerful ritual — place your hand on your heart and say, “It’s safe for me to grow now.” These small, grounded acts are the doorway into lasting change.

Amanda also explains how identity is rewired: safety first, then new programming — not empty affirmations but structured, neuroscience-informed practices. She shares real responses from women who’ve used her three-day reset and felt seen, lighter, and finally free to choose themselves again.

This episode is both tender and galvanizing — a call to women over 40 to stop apologizing for wanting more and to begin a brave, embodied reinvention. If you’ve ever asked, Who even am I now? press play: this is your guided map to remember, reclaim, and step into the woman you’re becoming.
