This episode is for anyone who has ever felt trapped by the "shoulds" and is starting to ask themselves "what do I actually want and need" at this stage of life? Sara and I talk the pleasure deficit of midlife, why we feel drawn to a more connected and attuned life as we go through perimenopause and menopause, and why our ability to sacrifice ourselves for others becomes so uncomfortable.
