- Ep. 5 I'm 44 and Unhinged (A Nervous System Roast of Everything We're Leaving Behind)
Send us Fan Mail
A loving roast of the behaviours we collectively normalized - rage bait, comparison culture, over-explaining, ignoring body wisdom, outsourcing your intuition to Mercury retrograde.
This isn't judgment. It's a nervous system check-in and a reminder of who you actually are underneath the noise.
Recorded on my 44th birthday, heading into 2026

Send us Fan Mail
There were tears driving home from the yoga class. Then dancing in jeans in my living room. If movement has always felt like pressure or performance - like something you're somehow bad at - this episode is for you. I talk about what it looks like when your body finally stops cooperating with what your mind thinks exercise should look like, and what happens when you listen instead.

Send us Fan Mail
It wasn't really about the boots. Small frustrations that spiral into something bigger usually aren't about the thing - they're pointing at a pattern.
This episode unpacks why minor irritations sometimes crack open childhood conditioning, what that discomfort is actually trying to show you, and how to tell the difference between the kind that grows you and the kind that's just draining you.

Send us Fan Mail
Your nervous system keeps score long after your mind moves on. I woke up from a dream that dragged up 20 years of buried betrayal — and instead of pushing it back down, I listened.
This episode is about the self-worth wounds that early betrayals carve into us, how those patterns quietly shape our relationships for years, and what it looks like when your intuition shows up exactly when the pain resurfaces.

Send us Fan Mail
If you've ever ended something that made complete sense and still felt grief about it - this is that episode. I share why I collapsed a membership I'd poured a year into, what it actually feels like to let something go when you built it with your whole heart, and why that kind of discomfort is part of living an intuitive, soul-led life. Releasing patterns doesn't always feel like relief. Sometimes it feels like loss. And that's still the right move.

About The Emotional Truth | Nervous System Regulation & Somatic Healing For Midlife Women
From the publisher's feed
Are you a woman in midlife?
Do you feel like you've done all the work — the therapy, the books, the retreats — and still wake up wondering why nothing has actually changed?
Are…
you carrying the weight of everyone else's lives while quietly running out of capacity for your own? Do you love your life some days and want to burn it all down on others?
Are you in the midst of an identity shift?
If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
The Emotional Truth is a podcast for midlife women who know something is still running in the background — they just haven't been able to see it clearly yet. Each episode I will help you identify the patterns that have been quietly driving your decisions, your relationships, and your body's response to stress — and start living without them running the show.
Here's what we cover:
✔️ People pleasing and self abandonment
✔️ Emotional patterns in motherhood and relationships
✔️ Nervous system regulation for midlife women
✔️ Perimenopause anxiety and body changes
✔️ Mom burnout and mental load
✔️ Eldest daughter syndrome
✔️ Midlife identity and what comes next
✔️ Divorce and the Identity shifts that come from not being a Wife
I'm Lesley Turner — somatic and intuitive practitioner, former naturopathic doctor of eleven years, and creator of the SEER Method™. I spent over a decade helping women from the neck up before I realized the real work happens in the body. Now I help midlife women finally see what's been running underneath the surface — and what becomes possible when it stops.
Every episode is short enough for the school pickup line and specific enough to stop you in your tracks. Expect real stories, body-based truth, and the kind of pattern recognition that makes you pull over and think — wait, that's exactly me.
Hit subscribe and start with the episode that catches your eye. Your body already knows which one.
