Episode Details
Back to Episodes#65 - What’s Truly Happening In Your Body During Midlife with Dr. Heather Awad
Description
Your body is changing… and no one really prepared you for this.
The things that used to work don’t work anymore. The control, the routines, the way you’ve always managed yourself… suddenly feel off. And underneath that frustration, there’s something deeper — a quiet disconnection from your own body.
In this conversation, I sit with Dr. Heather Awad to explore what’s truly happening in midlife — from hormonal shifts and weight gain to emotional eating and self-criticism. But more than that, we open a different path, one rooted in awareness, nourishment, and self-trust.
This is where you stop fighting your body… and start listening to it.
Where you soften the inner critic… and build a relationship that actually supports you.
Perimenopause and menopause are for you to remember how to live in your body again — with trust, with compassion, and with freedom.
✨ In This Episode You’ll Learn
- How to work with your hormones instead of fighting them
- Why emotional eating is more subtle than you think
- What happens when you pause instead of reacting on autopilot
- The truth about insulin, weight gain, and midlife metabolism
- How self-compassion creates sustainable, lasting change
🦋 Reflection Questions
- What is my body asking of me that I’ve been ignoring?
- Where am I trying to control instead of listening?
- What would shift if I treated myself with more compassion today?
