Are you ready to reconnect with your intuition, release old emotional baggage, and finally feel empowered in your body and your life? In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Katie Beecher, a licensed professional counselor, medical and emotional intuitive, and author of Heal from Within: An Intuitive Guide to Wellness.

With over 35 years of experience, Katie combines Jungian psychology, spiritual guidance, and intuitive insights to help people heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually—often uncovering the root causes of illness and imbalance that traditional approaches overlook. Katie shares how her own journey through an eating disorder and chronic illness became the catalyst for her work, and how you can access your own intuition, heal from the inside out, and live a more connected, courageous life.

Whether you’re navigating midlife health issues, emotional struggles, or simply want to deepen your self-love and boundaries, this episode is packed with wisdom, tools, and “aha” moments to help you transform your well-being.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
How to tap into your intuition and trust it, even if you’ve ignored it for years.
Why self-love and self-acceptance are essential for physical and emotional healing.
How unprocessed emotions like anxiety and anger can impact your health—and how to work with them.
Practical steps for setting healthy boundaries to protect your energy and well-being.
Why symptoms and challenges can actually be messages from your body and soul—and how to decode them.

If you’re ready to step into your light, protect your energy, and finally feel connected to your true self, you won’t want to miss this conversation with Katie Beecher!

Is it possible you’ve had ADHD your entire life and just didn’t know it? You’re not alone. In this eye-opening episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy chats with Kate Moryoussef, host of the award-winning ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, EFT practitioner, and author of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit.

July 08, 2025285 🏔️ Climbing Grief & Everest: Dianette Wells on Healing, Courage & Living Boldly
In this heart-pounding and heart-opening episode, Wendy Valentine chats with elite mountaineer and adventure racer Dianette Wells, one of fewer than 500 people to climb the Seven Summits, including Mount Everest. But Dianette’s most difficult climb wasn’t on a mountain — it was through the devastating grief of losing her son, Johnny, a fellow adventurer. Together, they explore how to transform loss into purpose, why midlife is the perfect time to reinvent yourself, and how to take that first bold step toward your own personal Everest.

From competing in over 100 extreme races to discovering healing through movement, Dianette’s story is packed with awe-inspiring adventures, laugh-out-loud moments, and life lessons on strength, surrender, and saying YES to life — even when it scares you. Whether you’re climbing mountains or facing emotional valleys, this episode will remind you that courage isn’t the absence of fear — it’s doing it anyway.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
How Dianette climbed the Seven Summits — and grief itself
Why fear isn’t a stop sign, but a compass
The power of saying “yes” to adventure (even when unprepared!)
How nature can be a church, therapist, and gym all in one
Tips for pushing through fear, anxiety, and emotional paralysis

What if the stories you’ve believed about womanhood no longer serve you? What if midlife is not a crisis, but a portal to your deepest power and pleasure? In this soulful and empowering episode, Wendy sits down with bestselling author, mythologist, and spiritual teacher Dr. Alanna Kaivalya to explore the myths that have shaped our lives—and how to rewrite them in a way that honors our feminine essence.

Whether you’re crawling out of your own chrysalis or just starting to awaken to your feminine fire—this one’s for you.

Why midlife is the perfect time for feminine reinvention
The true meaning of a “Satisfied Woman” (hint: it’s not what you think!)
