Are you facing emotional stress, exhaustion, or identity questions in your 40s or 50s? Wondering if it’s a midlife crisis—or perimenopause symptoms no one prepared you for?
In this compassionate, faith-rooted episode, Bethany offers encouragement and clarity for Christian women navigating hormone changes, emotional overwhelm, and the deeper healing that midlife can unlock.
Through a raw Sunday-night story and holistic insights, she gently reframes this season not as a breakdown…
but as an awakening to deeper healing.
What if your “midlife crisis” is actually an invitation to healing—body and soul?
In this tender episode, Bethany explores what it really means when emotions rise, rest disappears, and old patterns feel impossible to maintain in midlife. Drawing from a deeply personal Sunday-night moment and holistic health insight, she offers a soul-safe reframe:
This isn’t a breakdown.
It’s an awakening to deeper healing.
You’ll hear:
– A story about “Sunday at 11” emotions and the moment her husband asked, “How long were you planning to hold that in?”
– Why midlife often surfaces what’s been buried—especially for women with a history of trauma or chronic stress
– What hormone shifts in perimenopause can do to your emotional and physical resilience
– Why what’s changing in your body might mirror what’s changing in your soul
– A gospel-rooted invitation to steward your body with compassion, not criticism
Bethany also shares a glimpse of what’s ahead in this midlife mini-series:
– How to support your nervous system when emotions feel overwhelming
– The best supplements for perimenopause and midlife women (linked in the show notes)
– Why blood sugar balance matters more now than ever
– How to listen to your body like it’s a wise friend—not a problem to fix
