Roseanne tells us how she had an aha moment when she connected her yoga practice with the pain in her hip region. This led her to explore the connection between physical pain and suppressed emotions. She now helps others on their journey of self-discovery through yoga, chakras, and meditation. Dr. Natalie and Roseanne explore how awareness is key in understanding the energetic body and releasing emotional baggage from our pasts. Women in midlife often face challenges of reevaluating their lives and finding their purpose beyond their roles of caretaking and work. The principal theme of this conversation is finding a new purpose and direction in midlife. Many women in midlife feel blocked by external expectations and societal norms, and they want to break free and live life on their own terms. This often involves a shift towards a more spiritual and meaningful life, without necessarily adhering to a specific religion. Women, in particular, have a strong desire for connection and creating meaningful relationships. Embracing the wisdom and power of the crone archetype is seen as a gift in this stage of life.Keywordsaha moment, yoga, pain, hip region, emotions, self-discovery, chakras, meditation, COVID-19, online courses, awareness, energetic body, emotional baggage, midlife, purpose, midlife, purpose, direction, external expectations, spirituality, meaningful life, connection, relationships, crone archetypeTakeaways- Connecting physical pain with suppressed emotions can lead to self-discovery and healing.- Awareness of the energetic body and its connection to emotions is key in releasing emotional baggage.- The COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst for personal growth and pursuing passions.- Women in midlife often face the challenge of reevaluating their lives and finding their purpose beyond their roles as mothers and professionals. - Many people in midlife experience a desire to find a new purpose and direction in life.- Breaking free from external expectations and societal norms is a common challenge in this stage.- Spirituality and a deeper understanding of life's meaning often become important in midlife.- Women have a strong desire for connection and creating meaningful relationships.- Embracing the wisdom and power of the crone archetype is seen as a gift in midlife.To see more of Roseanne's offerings check her out here:Website: http://chakra-way.com/Podcast: https://shows.acast.com/chakra-wayInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yogawithrosanne/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chakrawayyoga_________________________________________________JOIN the ⁠LearnToLoveYourStory.com⁠ Mailing List!Join my newsletter and receive my FREE video and workbook, “Freeing Yourself: A Guide for Letting Go of Other People's Opinions” SIGN UP on the website at ⁠https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/762561/109840834025752017/shareDISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and video is not a replacement for therapy and is not clinical, medical, or mental health treatment.

    • There are four chemicals responsible for our feel-good emotions: endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin.
    • Understanding the depletion of these chemicals can help us identify the areas where we need to focus our self-care practices.
    • Strategies to increase these chemicals include meditation, physical touch, balanced diet, exercise, laughter, and releasing bottled-up emotions.

Self-care is crucial for managing and preventing depression, but it is often misunderstood. Self-care is not just physical body care, but also emotional, mental, work, private, and social care. It is about doing things that fill us up and give us enough bandwidth to handle stress. Self-care is individualized and needs to change as we age and develop.

  • Dr. Natalie introduces the importance of personal agency on this episode of Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving. Midlife can feel overwhelming with various challenges and changes. It can make us feel victimized by our circumstances. However, we have the power to be agents of change in our own lives.

  • Many people in midlife feel stuck and lack peace in their lives. They may be searching for happiness, fulfillment, or purpose, but they are tired and overwhelmed. This lack of peace is often caused by living a fragmented life, where different aspects of themselves are compartmentalized. Women, in particular, struggle with perfectionism and selflessness, neglecting their own needs. To find peace, it is important to embrace all aspects of oneself, including the mistakes and imperfections. By accepting and loving oneself, and living authentically, one can find a centered life and experience true peace.
