    Reclaiming Desire in Midlife: Healing Generational Trauma with Meg Calvin l S3 EP12

    In this powerful episode of The Midlife Awakening Podcast, I’m joined by author and guide Meg Calvin to explore what it really means to reconnect with yourself after years of conditioning, people-pleasing, and living from obligation. We dive into her novel There, He Holds Her, a deeply moving story that explores generational trauma, mother-daughter dynamics, and the tension between control and desire. Through storytelling, Meg shares how fiction can become a powerful tool for healing—helping women see themselves more clearly and begin to rewrite their own narratives. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were told to be and who you truly are, this conversation will speak directly to you.

    S3 EP9 : How to Rebuild Your Life After Loss|Betsy Ronel on Grief, Resilience and Midlife Reinvention

    How do you rebuild your life after unimaginable loss? In this episode of The Midlife Awakening Podcast, I sit down with Betsy Ronel, real estate broker, podcast host of Heavens to Betsy, and an inspiring example of resilience. At just 40 years old, Betsy lost her husband while pregnant and suddenly found herself raising her children alone while navigating overwhelming grief. Over the next decade, she slowly rebuilt her life, faced the realities of grief head-on, and eventually started a brand-new career at 48. But Betsy’s story isn’t just about loss. It’s about reinvention, humour, courage, and the unexpected freedom that comes with midlife. In this deeply honest and often hilarious conversation, Betsy shares how she learned to move forward while carrying grief, why midlife is actually an awakening, and what women need to know about rebuilding their lives after trauma. In this episode we discuss: Navigating grief after losing a spouseThe truth about living with long-term griefRaising children as a single parent after lossStarting a new career in your late 40sDating and relationships in midlifeWhy midlife is not a crisis but an awakeningHealing trauma through breathwork and somatic workManifestation, energy and rebuilding confidenceThe surprising freedom of your 50sKey Takeaway Grief doesn’t disappear. But with time, courage, and support, it can become part of your story rather than the end of it.

    S3 EP8: Why Self-Forgiveness Might Be the Key to Midlife Wellness

    In this powerful episode of The Midlife Awakening Podcast, Odilia sits down with Leslie to explore what it really takes to rebuild your health, self-esteem, and relationship with your body in midlife. For decades, Leslie struggled with low self-worth, emotional eating, trauma, and the endless cycle of dieting. Like many women, she tried every approach imaginable—from popular diet programs to quick-fix solutions—only to find herself back in the same patterns.  But everything changed in her late 40s. During the quiet reflection of the pandemic, Leslie began looking inward instead of trying to “fix” her body. Through journaling, forgiveness, mindset work, and small daily habits, she gradually transformed her relationship with food, wellness, and herself. Today, Leslie is in her 50s, stronger than ever, managing Crohn’s disease through lifestyle choices and helping other midlife women create sustainable health habits that actually work. This episode is an honest conversation about healing, resilience, and the reality of starting again in midlife. In This Episode We Discuss The connection between trauma and emotional eatingWhy so many women struggle with body image in midlifeThe mindset shift that changed everything for Leslie at 47The role of forgiveness in healing your relationship with yourselfManaging chronic illness and wellness through lifestyle choicesWhy small daily habits can create lasting transformationBreaking generational patterns around food and self-worthLearning to listen to your body instead of fighting itKey Takeaways ✨ Healing often begins with self-forgiveness  ✨ Midlife is not too late to transform your health  ✨ Wellness is about sustainability, not perfection  ✨ Listening to your body is one of the most powerful tools you have Connect with Leslie Instagram: Leslie_A_Wilson Facebook: Leslie A Wilson If This Episode Resonated If this conversation spoke to you, please consider: ⭐ Subscribing to the podcast  ⭐ Leaving a review  ⭐ Sharing this episode with a friend navigating midlife Your support Send us Fan Mail Support the show Rate the Show : RateThisPodcast.com/midlife Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/the.midlife.awakening/ Substack : https://themidlifeawakening.substack.com/ The Awakened Community - https://themidlifeawakening.substack.com/subscribe To submit your story to be featured on the next Monday Motivations segement, email your story to : heal.ourlives@outlook.com

    S3 E5: EMDR Therapy, Childhood Trauma & Attachment in Midlife | Healing During Perimenopause with Mia Von Scha

    Why does childhood trauma resurface during perimenopause?  Can EMDR therapy really help you heal without reliving the past?  And is it possible that being an imperfect parent is actually good for your children? In this episode of The Midlife Awakening, OdIlia speaks with trauma specialist and child therapist Mia Von Scha about healing unresolved childhood trauma in midlife and how attachment patterns formed in early childhood affect adult relationships and parenting. As hormonal changes during perimenopause shrink our “window of tolerance,” many women find old emotional wounds resurfacing. This conversation explores why that happens — and what you can do about it. We dive into: What childhood trauma really is (including developmental trauma and emotional neglect)How attachment styles shape adult relationshipsThe long-term health impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)Why perimenopause can trigger unresolved traumaHow EMDR therapy works to process trauma without rehashing painful memoriesThe power of rupture and repair in parentingWhy perfection isn’t required — and may even be harmfulIf you’ve ever wondered whether your childhood experiences are still affecting your health, relationships, or parenting today, this episode offers both clarity and hope. Healing is possible — at any age. 🔗 Learn more about Mia’s work: www.transformationalparenting.guru Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/transformationalparenting/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TransformationalParenting/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/TransformationalParenting Tiktok : @transformparents  📌 Follow The Midlife Awakening for more conversations on midlife healing, trauma recovery, and personal growth.
