699: Managing Anxiety and Identity in Midlife + Why You Need Community More Than Supplements with Rosie Acosta


Listen Later

Here’s your invitation to slow down, tune in, and truly support yourself through the midlife transition. 

Because all the changes in menopause, emotionally and physically, can seriously rock your identity. 

That’s why I’ve invited mindfulness expert Rosie Acosta on the podcast to explore the intersection of mindfulness and menopause, and how being in a community with other women can make this season of life feel less isolating and so much more empowering. 

Rosie shares how anxiety can become a messenger to your body rather than an enemy, and offers simple breathing techniques so you can feel grounded anytime, anywhere. 

Together, we redefine what womanhood and wellness look like in midlife and beyond—more connected and more intentional than ever.

Listen now to feel seen and inspired on your midlife journey!

                  “As a perimenopause expert, it's like a moving target. Something that worked one day might not work the next. I think if I had to give the people listening right now just one technique that works, it's learning how to use your breath to ground, to create safety even if it's just for a couple of minutes.”

                  “I think the more that we have conversations like this, the more normalized it will become, and the more normalized having these conversations will become. It gives us the empowerment and the invitation to ask questions, to ask our doctors to do the right types of tests, to get different opinions, to explore.”

                  “Radical love to me means embracing the whole of who you are.”
