From Silence to Connection: Midlife Communication with Dr. Patricia Timerman

Struggling with communication breakdowns or identity shifts in midlife? Dr. Patricia Timerman shares tools to help you grow with intention, action, and self-awareness.

Listen if:

👉 You’re navigating big midlife changes and want better tools for relationships, communication, and self-acceptance.

Key Takeaways:

  • Use the IAP model (Intention, Action, Perception) to decode where communication goes wrong—and how to fix it.

  • Normalize your struggles: reframing midlife challenges as universal can reduce shame and increase resilience.

  • Redesign your personal narrative: update the story you tell yourself to align with who you are becoming.

    Golden Quote:

    💡 “Awareness leads to action, and action creates growth.”

    Next Step:

    If you’re struggling with (peri)menopause symptoms, book a Dr. Ready session with Lisa to prepare for your next healthcare appointment—so you walk in prepared and walk out heard.

    This conversation blends psychotherapy, identity, grief, and personal growth in a way that helps you feel less alone and more empowered.
