Are you tired of being stuck in the same old thought patterns? In this episode of Loving That Midlife, Master Certified Christian Life Coach Lori Buck explores how faith and neuroscience come together to help you break free from the false self and live in your true identity. 

You’ll discover: 

• Why midlife often reveals your deepest false-self patterns—and how to spot them.
• The powerful difference between what the world says about you and what God says.
• How Hebb’s Rule (“neurons that fire together, wire together”) lines up with Romans 12:2.
• A practical 4-step process to renew your mind and rewire your brain for lasting transformation.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in cycles of fear, comparison, or “I’m not enough” thinking, this episode will equip you with both spiritual truth and brain-based tools to step into freedom.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between therapy and life coaching — and which one might be right for you? In today’s episode of Loving That Midlife, we’ll talk about how Christian mindset coaching works, why it’s different from therapy, and how it helps women in midlife find clarity, confidence, and strength.

I’ll share two coaching examples (with details changed for privacy): one from a woman who felt powerless in her marriage, and another from a woman who was telling a very painful story about a recent event. Both learned that their thoughts were keeping them stuck — and both discovered new ways of showing up with hope, strength, and purpose.

And in today’s Midlife Moment, we’ll talk about something midlife has given me — the courage to tell the truth, even if it makes things a little awkward. Let’s just say I may have “lost my filter,” but I’ve gained something even better.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a relationship, in work, or in life in general, this episode will show you how life coaching can help you break free from old thought patterns and step into the life God has for you.

Are you convinced that the default emotion for life should be happy? Does your brain tell you that something has gone wrong if you feel sad, mad, or any other "negative" emotion? If so, you're not alone. 

In today's episode, I talk about the concept of the 50/50 Life and how this ebb and flow of emotions is actually biblical. We weren't meant to spend our days in bliss. Life is full of good and beautiful moments, and sad and awful moments, but most of life is somewhere in between. I'll show you how you can use the creation cycle to change your mindset about your "ordinary life" and give you 4 practical tools to help you find beauty in the in between.  

And, in today's Midlife Moment, I talk about that dreaded midlife challenge: 3 AM insomnia. I'll tell you why I think it's happening now - spoiler alert: it's probably stress and overwhelm - and what I am doing to try to fix it, including one great practical tip.  Good times!

Do you have unwritten manuals or scripts for the people in your life? Admit it, you've probably thought more than once that you know exactly how your husband, children, or boss should act, and if they would just do that, then you could all be happy.

In today's episode, we'll talk about the scripts/manuals we have for the people in our lives and why we have them. Hint: Getting others to act the way that we want them to is not the path to happiness. Taking radical responsibility for our own needs is. 

And in today's Midlife Moment, we talk all about health in midlife and ALL. THE. THINGS. we are supposed to be worrying about. Friends, it's a lot. Don't let it overwhelm you.
