Episode notes

I love this conversation because it names something so many women feel but rarely say out loud. That moment when you wake up and realize you can’t keep doing things the same way anymore. In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz, we dive into the identity shift women experience in midlife and why suddenly not being able to do it all, for everyone, is not a failure, it’s biology. Dr. Mindy breaks down what’s actually happening in the brain as estrogen declines, why people-pleasing patterns fall away, and how this phase of life is designed to reconnect you to your authentic voice. We talk about marriages, careers, solitude, resentment, and why menopause is actually an initiation into leadership, wisdom, and truth. Tune in to understand why this phase isn’t a breakdown, it’s a becoming.
