Title: Midlife Renaissance: Building Your Belonging Circle with Dr Thema Bryant
Description:
Today, we’re revisiting a popular topic on this show: Friendships. More specifically, the revival of our friendships and our capacity for friendships in midlife. How many of us have sacrificed a relationship or a piece of ourselves in order to fulfill the implied demands of our role as a wife or mother or woman with a career?
Dr. Thema Bryant is a renowned psychologist, author, professor, sacred artist, and minister, who empowers women to connect with themselves and to others by exploring fun and comfortable topics like our control issues and emotional unavailability with practical activation activities and teaching how to shift our mindset and patterns.
Today, we’re delving into the impacts of loneliness, the complexities of navigating new and evolving friendships in midlife, and the importance of self-love and “coming home” to ourselves before we can build a community that can support us in the way we need it to.
Aha moments from this episode include:
- Common reasons why midlife can feel isolating to some women
- The role major life changes (e.g., career shifts, divorce, empty nesting) play in creating a sense of disconnection
- Signs that a friendship or community is not serving us well, including navigating shifts in those friendships and letting go of what no longer serves us and welcoming new connections
- Practical activation exercises, such as writing vows to yourself, that you can practice to strengthen your relationships with yourself and others
Plus, Jen and Amy debut a new segment called “Zero Damns to Give” where they suss out what stuff really matters in this stage of their lives and what can be cast off, allowing them to step into full authenticity—without guilt, shame, or over-explanation.

Thought-provoking Quotes:
When I observe someone making a polite but clear boundary, I respect it. I’m impressed. – Jen Hatmaker
Can you come to the place where you admit, I miss myself? And myself is not my labor. Myself is not my roles. Myself is a living soul and one of the things that feeds my soul are my friendships but those got neglected because I was told that to be a good leader or to be a good mom, I had to deprioritize the things that nourished me. – Dr. Thema Bryant
If a community is not ready-made, something for you to join, it’s something for you to create. – Dr. Thema Bryant
Our wellness is more important than our loyalty. – Dr. Thema Bryant
