Midlife Muse: Things Your Mother Never Told You Dr. Amanda Hanson

Are you tired of the overwhelming pressure to maintain a youthful appearance? Have you found yourself trapped in a cycle of trying endless anti-aging products, only to feel unsatisfied and constantly striving to keep up? 
It's time to break free from the toxic beauty culture holding you back and redefine your worth beyond appearance. We need to explore how embracing natural aging can lead to a sense of liberation, allowing you to tap into the beauty of your journey. Aging should be celebrated, not shamed. 
About seven years ago, as I sat in the salon watching all these beautiful women, including myself, apply harmful chemicals to their scalps, I realized something needed to change. This ignited my curiosity, and I began to ask deeper questions.
Why did we all feel we had to harm ourselves with these toxins being rubbed into our scalps to be acceptable in society? Why aren’t gray hairs a sign of wisdom instead of something we try to hide? That moment changed everything and opened a new lens on the beauty industry and the world of aging with confidence. I let my grays grow out and haven't dyed my hair since. 
I have decided to accept the story that aging is a natural, beautiful, privileged part of my life. There's nothing to change. There's only everything to honor, celebrate, and notice. ~Dr. Amanda
Aging is a natural process that should be embraced rather than feared. It is a journey of wisdom, experience, and growth. Embracing the changes with age can lead to a deeper sense of self-acceptance and confidence.
Join me in discovering the true essence of aging as a spiritual and transformative experience on the Midlife Muse Podcast.

If you feel like you're constantly seeking validation, approval, and love from others but still feel unworthy and unfulfilled, then you are not alone! The struggle to transition from the princess archetype to the queen archetype can leave you feeling stuck in a cycle of seeking external validation and never feeling truly powerful within yourself.
But we are not at fault for falling into the Princess archetype. The impact of media and traditions handed down from generation to generation shape women's perspectives, and this is evident in the prevalence of the princess narrative in fairy tales and movies. The limited representation of women's experiences and desires in media reinforces the need for external validation. Recognizing and challenging these narratives can help women cultivate self-love and authenticity.
As a Princess, you are seeking outside validation to feel worthy. You are showing up with a “look at me, love me, am I good enough” energy. As a Princess, you might be pretending or acting as a way to fit in.
Embracing your queen archetype involves recognizing and internalizing your self-worth and setting higher relationship standards. The transition from princess to queen requires embodying qualities like self-love, confidence, and assertiveness. By embracing queen energy, women can attract relationships and opportunities that align with their true worth.
It's time to break free from the limitations of princess energy and step into your queen-like confidence and power. Let's explore how to make that shift and start owning your worth from within.

We are missing the women of our lives. We are missing from the stories of our very own beautiful lives. And yet we think we have everything else that we were told, made for a beautiful life. We think that because we have food and shelter, we're not supposed to ache for more beautiful love, deep conversations, heartfelt embraces, or tender moments sitting on the floor with our friends.
Patriarchy does not just hurt women; it also hurts men. Patriarchy hurts everybody. - Dr. Amanda Hanson
Underneath, in everything we explore, we will always look at the ways that patriarchy told us we were supposed to operate by or believe in. I will help you constantly disentangle from that and look at your life through the lens of feminine and matriarchal consciousness.
If you feel trapped in a cycle of inherited limitations, constantly battling to break free from societal expectations, then you are not alone! The struggle to thrive as a modern woman, juggling career, relationships, and self-worth, can be overwhelming.
You may have even found yourself repeating patterns passed down through generations, feeling the weight of unspoken rules and unfulfilled potential.
We need to understand the impact of societal norms on women's emotional well-being and shine a light on the pressure to suppress emotions. It is so important for women to embrace their emotions without judgment; this can allow women to navigate challenges in modern society.
But what if there's a way to transform these struggles into opportunities for self-discovery and power?
It’s time for women to break free from limitations passed down through generations. Questioning societal norms and inherited beliefs allows women to define their paths and pursue their dreams. Breaking free from these limitations is essential for personal growth and power.

If you're feeling trapped in a cycle of inherited limitations, constantly battling to break free from societal expectations, then you are not alone! The struggle to thrive as a modern woman, juggling career, relationships, and self-worth, can be overwhelming. Perhaps you've found yourself repeating patterns passed down through generations, feeling the weight of unspoken rules and unfulfilled potential. But what if there's a way to transform these struggles into opportunities for self-discovery and personal power?
Imagine being at the crossroads of despair and power, feeling the weight of generations of unspoken limitations. I’m sharing my wisdom I’ve gathered on my journey and adding my professional expertise to illuminate the path to self-discovery and personal growth for modern women. Through countless encounters with women from different walks of life, I have discovered a universal theme of suffering stemming from societal constructs that hinder women from thriving.
My passion for guiding women into their power was sparked by my own experiences and the transformations I witnessed in the lives of countless women. My soul mission is to guide women through conversations that challenge the status quo, inviting them to embrace their emotions, question inherited narratives, and embark on a journey of becoming. My hope is to pave the way for women to break free from societal constraints and embrace a more nourishing narrative.
