112. The Invisible Pressure Carried by Midlife Women
Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things like keeping it together, staying productive, being the “good girl” and yet underneath it all, you're carrying a quiet heaviness you can’t quite name? In this episode, we bring that invisible pressure into the light. I walk you through the four most common emotional loads I see in the smart, capable midlife women I coach, and share how these internalized stories are not facts, they're thoughts we can learn to question. Together, we’ll look at what it means to truly turn down the pressure by shifting how you relate to yourself, your past, and your future. If you’ve ever felt depleted while looking composed, or wondered who you’d be without all the doing, this episode will help you reconnect with what’s true and possible for you now.
