The Midlife Feast

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt trapped by the "shoulds" and is starting to ask themselves "what do I actually want and need" at this stage of life? Sara and I talk the pleasure deficit of midlife, why we feel drawn to a more connected and attuned life as we go through perimenopause and menopause, and why our ability to sacrifice ourselves for others becomes so uncomfortable. Sara Smeaton is a professional certified coach and facilitator whose group program, Ignite Midlife, helps midlife women create their next chapter with possibility, intention, and power. You can connect with Sara through her website [https://sarasmeaton.com] where you will find free Power Years™ resources, articles, interviews, and information about her group and one-on-one offerings.
