 A Podcast About Midlife, Identity & What Comes Next  The first half of life is shaped by so much we didn’t choose—family, culture, circumstance, expectations—and by the roles we willingly took on along the way. None of it was wrong. But eventually, we get to ask: Which parts still belong in the life I’m creating now? Assigned to Authored is a podcast about what happens when the script that got you here no longer quite fits. Host Devon Vernetti, Licensed Acupuncturist and creator of the Root to Rise Method™, explores what it means to consciously author the second half of life—after an empty nest, a divorce, a loss, a career shift, or that gut feeling whispering something needs to change. Through conversations about the nervous system, identity, relationships, health, purpose, and the patterns we carry, this is a show for women ready to examine what they’ve inherited, what they’ve outgrown, and what they want to choose for themselves now. Not because the first half was wrong. Because you’re allowed to decide what comes with you into the next. Most of life is assigned. What comes next can be authored.

    Holding the Chaos: How to Stay Awake and Empowered in a World You Can't Control

    Holding the Chaos: How to Stay Awake and Empowered in a World You Can't Control The world feels like a lot right now. And when everything around us feels uncertain, divided, loud, or completely outside our control, it’s easy to swing between two extremes: absorbing all of it or checking out entirely. But there’s another way. In this episode, Devon explores what it means to stay awake without becoming overwhelmed — to remain informed, compassionate, and engaged while protecting your nervous system and remembering where your power actually lives. Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine, nervous system wisdom, and the Root to Rise Method™, we’ll talk about the difference between being informed and being consumed, why your body may be carrying more of the world than you realize, and how small, grounded choices can become acts of agency. Because empowerment isn’t pretending the chaos isn’t happening. It’s learning how to stand inside an uncertain world without letting it decide who you become. In this episode: Why staying informed can quietly become nervous system overloadThe difference between awareness and hypervigilanceHow to recognize what’s yours to carry — and what isn’tWhy grounding yourself isn’t the same as disengagingWhere to put your energy when so much feels beyond your controlHow to stay present, purposeful, and connected to your own agencyYou may not be able to control the world around you. But you can choose how you meet it. Thanks for being here today. If this episode spoke to you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend who might need it too.
