Perimenopause? Isn't 40 too young for that? I’m a mom of 3 young humans trying to figure out what this new-found second coming of puberty means for me - mind, body and spirit. Join me through my trials and musings of midlife motherhood.
What if the problem isn’t you…What if your life is just carrying too much?
In midlife, many women are juggling everything—work, kids, aging parents, households, emotional labor—and doing it all while their bodies are changing.
And somewhere along the way, overwhelm becomes normal.
In this episode, we’re naming that overload—and talking about what it looks like to create space again without guilt, without perfection, and without needing to “burn it all down.”
✨ In this episode, we explore:
The invisible mental load women carry every day
Why midlife makes overload harder to sustain
How hormonal shifts impact stress, sleep, and recovery
The power of simplification (and what that can actually look like)
Why creating space is one of the most powerful things you can do
💛 Reflection:
What is one small way I could create more space in my life this week?

Why Midlife Makes You Want to Change Everything
Have you ever looked at your life and thought…
Do I want to change everything?
In your 40s, that feeling can come out of nowhere—sudden urges to shift your work, your relationships, your routines, even your identity. And it can feel unsettling.
But what if it’s not a crisis?
What if it’s recalibration?
In this episode, we’re unpacking why midlife naturally brings a desire for change—and how to understand that feeling without panicking or blowing up your entire life.
✨ In this episode, we talk about:
Why reevaluating your life in midlife is developmentally normal
How hormonal and energy shifts influence your tolerance and priorities
The difference between wanting to escape vs. needing to realign
How to get curious about change instead of reacting to it
💛 Reflection:
Where in my life am I feeling the pull toward change—and what might that feeling be trying to teach me?

My Experience With Wellbutrin and Finally Asking for Help
This episode is a little more personal
We’re talking about something many women feel… but don’t always say out loud: What happens when you can’t keep carrying everything on your own anymore?
In midlife, the emotional load can quietly build—years of responsibility, caregiving, planning, holding it all together. And then one day, it just feels… heavier.
In this episode, I’m sharing my experience with starting Wellbutrin—not as advice, but as part of a bigger conversation about mental health, support, and what it means to finally say: I need help.
Because asking for support isn’t failure. It’s a turning point.
✨ In this episode, we explore:
The slow build of emotional overwhelm in midlife
Why asking for help can feel so uncomfortable (and even shameful)
My personal decision to try Wellbutrin
How to reframe support as strength—not weakness
Why more women need to talk about mental health in this stage of life
💛 Reflection:
What would it look like to treat my mental health with the same care I give everyone else?
