How Midlife Looks Different For Women

 

In this episode of Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving, Dr. Natalie helps us debunk the mystery of midlife crisis. She explains that this is a natural part of the transition into the second stage of life and the term crisis is the best description for the insurmountable amount of changes we are going through at this stage in life. She emphasizes that midlife crisis is not a character flaw, and urges us to stop judging ourselves so harshly for struggling at this stage of our lives.

Dr. Natalie seeks to teach us in this episode how midlife crisis for women looks different than our preconceived notions. As she explains the biological and hormonal shifts that occur during this time and how they can impact our physical and mental well-being, she also explores the different responses and behaviors that can arise. She helps us to understand what brings about such changes as mood swings, anxiety, and avoidance. Dr. Natalie encourages listeners to anchor back into a state of safety and security and offers strategies for managing and thriving during this phase of life.
