We’ve all been there. Someone says something we think is a little off the wall and we become triggered. We stew in our emotions, we want to run away from the situation, and we want to shove that feeling as far back down as we can. But what if instead of ignoring what we’re feeling, we do something different instead?
What exactly is a midlife makeover?What is it about midlife that is to be celebrated?How can you get to a point of curiosity over conviction, when it comes to being triggered?Is there one change in midlife that really affects us more than others?How is an intuitive therapist different from a traditional therapist?What is the number one rule to break in midlife?
As we enter midlife, so many things are changing – career transitions, being in the “sandwich” generation of taking care of kids and aging parents, and yes, even menopause, all while trying to figure out who we really are. This transition can be scary and exhilarating all at the same time. You're in luck, because today on Your Midlife Comeback Story, we have the Intuitive Therapist herself, Janis Cohen.
Janis is here to answer the question… what exactly is a midlife makeover?
Together, we will unpack:
Janis Cohen is a therapeutic coach who helps women in midlife, uncover their true authentic self so they can reignite their passion, purpose, and personal power. Janis is the author of The Intuitive Therapist, Podcast host of The Intuitive Therapist Podcast, therapist of 32 years, clairvoyant, empath, and psychic medium who went from having no clue about who she truly was to understanding her purpose and truth clearly by the age of 52.

It’s bad enough to be afraid of getting breast cancer. But if you are diagnosed, what they don’t tell you is the number one side effect is the fear of recurrence. You are always going to be looking behind your shoulder to see if it’s following you. It’s the monster under the bed that no one wants to talk about.
In honor of breast cancer awareness month, I have a special treat for you today on the show. The other week, I spoke to a group of survivors about the fear of recurrence and the 5 steps they can take to not just empower themselves so they don’t live in fear, but to actually minimize the risk. We were able to tape the speech, and that is what you are going to listen to today. You’re going to laugh, and get a little Hollitude, but all in the name of love. Because as a 14-year survivor, the information you’re going to hear today is not just for survivors, it’s for any woman who wants to reduce her risk of developing this disease. This is the episode you are going to want to share with your mother, daughter, sister, and friend.Connect with Holly:

As we enter midlife, many of us have perimenopause on our minds, but very few know what to actually look for. Yes, it’s skipping periods, hot flashes, and night sweats, but what about everything else? How are you supposed to know if you’re in perimenopause or if it’s something more serious? And what about mood swings, emotional rollercoasters, and brain fog? Is this just a normal part of getting older?
How can you identify when you’re shifting into perimenopause and what steps can you take to ensure a smoother transition?What are the different stages of perimenopause and are there any tests to confirm our suspicions?What can we do to avoid or tackle weight gain in midlife?Why is building and maintaining muscle mass during perimenopause so important?What are “exercise snacks” and how can we incorporate them throughout our day?
On today’s episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’ll answer the question… how do you know when you’re shifting into perimenopause, and what steps do you need to take to ensure a smoother transition?
To really tackle this topic head-on, Dr. Mariza Snyder will join us and offer up expert advice, as we dive headfirst into the nitty gritty of the beginning stages of “the great change”.
Together, we will unpack:Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, perimenopause and menopause expert and the author of eight books: The newest book, The Essential Oils Menopause Solution, focuses on solutions for women in perimenopause and menopause.

Two words: midlife crisis. You know you’ve thought about it before. You see that family member or friend completely change out of nowhere and you wonder what in the world happened to make them completely flip their life upside down. Maybe they left a career they’ve had for 20 years, they bought a fancy sports car, or even (gasp) got a divorce.
What are the top 3 things we need to know to succeed in the school of midlife?How do you define success and how can that definition change over the years?What does the success playbook look like when we finally focus on ourselves?What is the best strategy for creating boundaries and sticking to them?How do you handle the negative comments and push-back during your midlife transformation?
But what if I told you that not all midlife changes are a crisis and that extreme, and for many women, it’s more of an awakening?
In this episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we are going to answer the question… what are the top 3 things we need to learn in the school of midlife?
To help us answer that, we've got the school of midlife expert herself, Laurie Reynoldson. Laurie was a lawyer on the brink of making partner at a large law firm and walked away from everything she had ever worked for.
Together, we will unpack:
After an award-winning 20-year career as an attorney, Laurie left the law when she was on the verge of joining the partnership at a large super-regional firm, the job she’d worked her entire career to land. She knows exactly what it feels like to have everything you’ve ever thought you always wanted in life, but still feel like something is missing. Which is why she’s made it her mission to provide women with the tools, information, support and community to thrive in midlife…and skip the midlife crisis.

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the term “menopause”? If it’s hot flashes, night sweats, and crazy emotions all over the place, you’re not alone.
How is estrogen protective over every aspect of our health and not just menstrual cycles and fertility?Why are we led to believe that estrogen is dangerous, and should we be afraid of it?What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and at what age should we begin thinking about it?Is HRT a one-size fits all or do I have options?What else can I do in conjunction with HRT, in order to live a healthier and more hormone balanced life?
Those are absolutely legitimate. But what if I told you that everything you thought you knew about menopause was completely wrong? For example… what if… estrogen isn’t the “bad guy” we’ve all been led to believe?
In this episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re going to answer this important question… what are the 5 biggest myths about menopause, and what’s the real truth?
To help us answer that question, we’ve got 2 of the world’s top menopause experts, Kristin Johnson, and Maria Claps, who are authors of the new book, “The Great Menopause Myth.”

If you have ever been bombarded with conflicting health advice, you know that it can be challenging to figure out what is truly best for your well-being, and even your family’s. The experts seem to push this my way or the highway mentality, which can be confusing.

You might be eating weed killer for breakfast. If you or your kids eat one of these popular cereals for breakfast, you’re ingesting harmful amounts of glyphosate, which is also known as the popular weed killer, Roundup. Most people think that glyphosate is safe, because our government says so. But there’s $10 billion dollars worth of lawsuit payouts that say otherwise.
What exactly is glyphosate?How is glyphosate federally regulated and is it safe?If glyphosate is purported as "safe", why are there so many lawsuits against the makers of Round-Up?How can we protect ourselves from the effects of glyphosate?How can you help in the fight against the use of glyphosates?

Do you wake up every day with a to-do list that gets results for everyone else... but taking care of yourself is NOT on the list?
Welcome to Your Midlife Comeback Story, the podcast for successful women in midlife to create their ultimate comeback by prioritizing their health so that their high-achievement lifestyle no longer clashes with unwanted weight gain, lack of energy, and restless nights.
I'm your host, Holly Bertone. I'm a former FBI Chief of Staff turned Certified Holistic Health Coach, and I help women in midlife find the clues to improve their health.
What I noticed is that while we're successful with our careers and families, those same action strategies don't work when it comes to sustainable habits for our health.
I learned this the hard way after being diagnosed with breast cancer and an autoimmune disease, and I knew there's more to life than burning the candle at both ends. I decided to take back control of what's most important in life, and I'm here to help you do the same.
Tune in every Friday for tactical action plans and inspirational stories so that you can create your midlife comeback story that is worthy of an 80's movie montage!

Do you enjoy the failures, the disappointments, and the difficult times? I’m guessing probably not. Most people don’t. Most people don’t wake up and say I can’t wait to be a failure today woo hoo! It doesn’t help that success is pushed so much that “They” say that failure is not an option. Let’s agree to disagree. I actually believe it’s THE BEST option. I believe that failure is THE BEST path to achieving success.
How negative thoughts and replaying past failures consume and hinder us.How contrasting experiences bring clarity to our goals and aspirations.Why going through adversity can lead to a negative mindset and a sense of victimhood.The secret to how winners embrace failure as part of their journey without letting it define them.
Today, we are going to answer the question… how does failure actually propel your success to even greater levels?
The answer is powerful, it involves the original Rocky movie… and I think it’s going to surprise you.
