Awaken Your Wise Woman Elizabeth Cush

If you’re easily overwhelmed, listen to this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman as host Elizabeth Cush talks about highly sensitive women.
“This part of me that just gets overwhelmed feels probably like I'm in third grade.” — Biz Cush
Sometimes you just need a break—but we don’t always give ourselves permission to do that, even though we might need some extra time to process information or emotions. We might just need to rest. It’s important for everyone, no matter what we do, but for some of us it’s absolutely essential. As the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast heads into its summer hiatus, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, wraps up Season Four and provides a sneak preview of Season Five content with a heartfelt talk about what it means to be a highly sensitive woman. She shares her own personal experiences as a child and an adult, the insights she has gained and the strategies she uses to navigate as a highly sensitive mid-life woman in an often overwhelming world.

How do you find the courage to walk away from the life you’ve known for decades to follow your heart? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman that’s the question host Elizabeth Cush asks author Suzette Mullen, who came out in midlife.
“Can I trust the voice? What is the voice saying to me? And do I have the courage to act on what I’m hearing?”
— Suzette Mullen
Writing a memoir can provide a way to look back and better understand your life. But what happens when the process opens the door to life-changing insights? Would you be open to changing your path? What would it take to do that? Is it even possible? For some, it’s not only possible, but positively freeing. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Suzette Mullen, memoir and nonfiction book coach, retreat leader and author of The Only Way Through Is Out, which chronicles her coming out in midlife after decades of marriage. They talk about women’s struggles around identity, courage and agency. They also discuss some of things that can keep us from making major life changes, especially as we get older, what we can do to support us in living more authentically—and why it’s all so worthwhile.

Then, at age she transitioned. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Wendy, a transition mentor, for an open and honest conversation about gender identity and expression, self-discovery and acceptance, the importance of empathy and the need for safe spaces.
