Life after 45 is not a slowdown; it's a reckoning … and then a relaunch. This podcast is for women who gave everything to a role: wife, military spouse, caregiver, or peacekeeper, and are now asking, "Who am I now? or What do I build next?" Host Hillary Kayris brings you real, unfiltered conversations with women who have walked through fire and come out with something worth saying. Beyond surface-level inspiration: validating the hard parts did happen! Honest dialogue about identity, reinvention, faith, and what it actually takes to build a life you choose. If you are a current or former military spouse, navigating divorce or widowhood, a healthcare professional, or a woman who has outlived a version of yourself — you have found your people. Hillary, author of The Wounded Warrior Wife: The Untold Cost of Life as a Military Spouse.

    105. Are you Over It? How to Best Release Emotions

    Ep 105 Are you over it? How do you know? This solocast gets a little personal as I share my perspective on "Deal with it," "Get Over it," and Suck it up, buttercup." These are the common phrases we hear or tell ourselves and it made me wonder, is this a good thing? When Bessel van der Kolk wrote The Body Keeps the Score, the research shows that our body and cells hold onto deep emotional wounds. But, far too often, we stuff it all down. What happens then? Illness, disease, and pain - all the ways our body communicates with us. Recently, I experienced a DEEP emotional (Somato-Emotional, Body, Mind) release with a trusted Craniosacral Therapist from the Upledger Institute. This is a therapy modality of soft-tissue release that I have also practiced for almost 20 years. Be sure to ask your therapist when they last sought a treatment session. A skilled therapist will tell you that they are also committed to receiving treatments too. The giver needs to also release and re-balance themselves. What are you holding onto and is it serving your body, mind, and life? Is it better to get over it, or to shift into feeling and processing the emotion?

    102. Can You (Really) Feel the LOVE? Celebrating the 100th Episode Part 2

    Ep 102  - 100th Episode Celebration Part 2; Can You (Really) Feel the LOVE? In Ep 100, I started you out on the humility journey, and I wanted to make sure I shared more. I have felt love in my love - the love of a parent, a child, a sibling, a dear friend… Sometimes - love is all you need, perhaps even all you desire, and occasionally, love just is not enough.  In February, there is a LOT of talk about love, pink and red roses, chocolate, ok we can't fault chocolate for getting dragged into a self-limiting belief of the construct of the marketing extravaganza (known as Valentine's Day). Chocolate is good and does not need to be limited to Feb 14th. Personally, I believe we can and should bring love to the important people in our lives every single day. Am I alone in this? How to TRULY Feel the Love in Your Life In this Episode, Hillary will discuss: Ask yourself - why am I eating/drinking/doing THIS right now? Is there an emotion I am trying to NUMB instead of feel and let it flow through its course?  --------------------------------------------------- What Hill learned about… loving myself in 2023 The ONE best step you should take to feel more love in your life…  Get outside 20 minutes/day - UNPLUGGED Or, I have another option for you. Spend time in stillness and silence - start with 5 minutes/day and build up to 20 minutes.

    Ep 100 - Celebrate 100th Episode Part 1 Well, I am thrilled and a little embarrassed all at once. I released Ep 101 BEFORE 100! Oh well, another notch in my humility belt. What are you celebrating and why? Is it hard to pause to acknowledge a small or big step towards progress? What about without alcohol or junk food? Imagine you are feeling good, strong, confident, and competent… CELEBRATE! How would facing that fear and getting unstuck feel? What would your future self say to your present self? Take time to rest, slow down, and recognize those accomplishments!
