About Insights from the Couch - Mental Health at Midlife
Insights from the Couch is your go-to podcast for smart, self-aware women in midlife navigating perimenopause, burnout, marriage shifts, identity changes, and the emotional chaos of “What now?” Hosted by best friends and seasoned therapists Colette Fehr and Laura Bowman, this is where therapy meets real life — bold conversations, hard truths, and powerful tools to help you get unstuck and come alive. Whether you're questioning your relationship, struggling with empty nest, battling people-pleasing or perfectionism, or just feeling flat and disconnected from yourself — this show is for you. Colette and Laura bring decades of clinical experience (and lived midlife wisdom) to every episode. Expect real talk on the things no one prepares you for: midlife reinvention, perimenopause and hormone shifts, marriage and divorce, boundaries, friendships, confidence, identity loss, and what it actually takes to build a life you want at this stage — not just one you tolerate. This is where smart women get unstuck and come alive. 🎧 New episodes every week 🌟 Join the Midlife Masterclass: insightsfromthecouch.org/group-coaching-program 🩷 Grab your free guide: The Midlife Roadmap — 7 Skills to Get Unstuck and Come Alive 👉 Follow us on Instagram: @insightsfromthecouch

And this is the biggest thing that I think we often see in our offices is this label, this idea of being an alcoholic. A lot of people... really shy away from that. Understandably, there can be shame, there can be stigma, you might not be ready to think of that as your identity. And it's not necessary, in my opinion.
