Do you ever feel like you woke up one day in your mid-30s or 40s and it was like everything suddenly stopped working all at once? Brain fog, weight gain, waking up every night at 3am… not to mention the RAGE of a thousand burning suns?
In this episode, Mary sits down with bestselling author and medical doctor, Dr. Mikala Albertson (who is the author of Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife) as the two talk perfectionism, releasing control, brain fog, fear, anxiety… and navigating how to quit playing small in mid life!
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why it is so hard for women to even get to a doctor in the first place (let alone be HEARD once they are there)
- The danger of the "the illusory truth effect" and getting all your medical advice from TikTok
- Why Radical Acceptance does not equal Apathy
- How chronic stress must be moved THROUGH the body in order to complete the "stress response cycle"
- What causes anxiety and OCD to spike during perimenopause
- and seriously SO much more!
After listening, you'll walk away on a renewed mission to love the body you have right NOW and to make the changes to best support it. What you do now, TODAY… your 80-something self will thank you for it!
