    What is a midlife crisis? We throw this term around a lot and people aren't always certain what it means. Dr. Natalie will break it down for you in today's episode. AND...she tells us how she needs no more than 30 minutes with you to have enough information to tell you whether you are headed for a midlife crisis yourself.

    We all know that midlife is hard and can be even harder when we have old patterns of behavior that are no longer working for us. We know better. We even have a good idea of what we need to do to change things, yet it seems almost impossible to make that change. You know what I'm talking about. You want to go to the gym more, but can't seem to implement the plan you have. Or, you want to start eating better, but instead you are snacking all the time still. It drives you nuts. You know better and are still unable to put new practices into action. In today's podcast Dr. Natalie will also give us some insight into this immunity to change and how we can better address it.

    In this episode of Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving, Dr. Natalie explores the concept of how the story we tell ourselves is influential in shaping our lives. Using a post from Dr. Nicole LePera (@⁠the.holistic.psychologist⁠) as a framework, she shares personal experiences and examples from clients to illustrate how the narratives we believe about ourselves can impact our well-being. The importance of shifting these narratives and prioritizing self-care is emphasized as a means to overcome burnout and find fulfillment. The conversation highlights the power of rewriting our stories and reframing our perspectives to create a more centered and thriving life.Keywords: storytelling, self-care, narratives, burnout, fulfillment, centered life thriving, Dr. Natalie, Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving, midlife womenTakeaways:- The story we tell ourselves about ourselves is influential in shaping our lives.- Shifting our narratives and prioritizing self-care can help overcome burnout and find fulfillment.- Rewriting our stories and reframing our perspectives can lead to a more centered and thriving life._________________________________________________JOIN the ⁠⁠⁠LearnToLoveYourStory.com⁠⁠ (⁠⁠https://LearnToLoveYourStory.com⁠⁠) ⁠Mailing List!

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.
