This episode first aired on January 9, 2023.One of the many drawbacks of being a woman with human giver syndrome (Burnout 2020) is that we so often become an object in our lives instead the subject of it. In other words, we feel powerless to effect change and start to become more and more resigned to the life we have even when it is not one that is bringing us joy and contentment. In order to change this, we first must change our approach. We must learn how to have agency. To be the doer of things in our lives and not the people that things are done to. Take a listen and learn more about this key component to designing the lives we want to be living.Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle Paperback – March 26, 2019 by Emily Nagoski (Author), Amelia Nagoski (Author)Visit us at LearnToLoveYourStory.com DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and video is not a replacement for therapy and is not clinical, medical, or mental health treatment.

This episode was first aired on February 27, 2025What 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.

This episode first aired on April 28, 2023 Welcome to Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving- the podcast where we tackle the trials and tribulations of being a woman in midlife! With a healthy dose of sass and a touch of sarcasm, we'll be exploring how to find self-care in the little things - because let's face it, sometimes the biggest acts of self-care are just putting on pants and brushing your teeth! Join me, Dr. Natalie, your trusty host and resident clinical psychologist/self-empowerment coach/midlife mess, as we explore the ups and downs of navigating this wild journey called life. We can sometimes feel like self-care is a luxury just because we can't find the time. And if you're in a particularly stressful time in life, this is even more true. I'm going to help you understand that self-care is sometimes just small everyday things that give us something to look forward to each day. And I will share my own journey in learning the power of the little things in life during one of the most fantastically disastrous parts of my life. So don't miss! Grab a mug of coffee, a cup of tea, or a glass of wine, and settle in for some midlife musings with your BFF. Trust us, your sanity (and your family) will thank you for it!

In this episode of Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving, Dr. Natalie dives into the world of self-care for midlife women.

Did you know Depression is a significant issue, with 17.3 million American adults affected? 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. It includes both boundary-setting and replenishing activities. It is important to ask for help when needed and have a plan for extra support during times of high stress.

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.

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.

In this episode of Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving, Dr. Natalie interviews Debbie Spector Weisman, a dream life coach. Debbie discovered the power of dreams through a dream that changed her own life, where she realized she was using a metaphorical 'codpiece' to protect herself and hide from the world. This realization led her to break out of her shell and become more self-expressive. Debbie emphasizes the importance of paying attention to dreams and how they can provide valuable insights and solutions to pressing problems and discusses using dreams for creativity and healing. Dream coaching can help bring self-awareness and access internalized wisdom. Dreams can provide insights into health issues, premonitions, and lucid dreaming. Dream incubation is a process where you program yourself to dream about a specific topic or question. Taking action on dream insights can lead to personal growth and problem-solving. Dream work is a practical tool that can be used by anyone. It is important to believe in the power of dreams and trust in your own abilities.
