In this special episode of Unfolding, I introduce the Rewrite the Rules: A Midlife Reboot bundle, powerful, free collection of 20 handpicked resources to support women who are ready to stop putting themselves last. I shares why I created the bundle, what makes midlife a turning point (not a crisis), and how my own story shaped my mission for this bundle. Plus, I highlight every contributor and category — from parenting to perimenopause, career change to confidence — and explains how every opt-in supports better midlife care through donations to The Menopause Society and KC Care Health Center.

Welcome to the Unfolding podcast.

2

I am Erica Voell.

3

I am a Decision Mentor and

Inner-Trust Guide, and I work with

4

women mainly those in midlife.

5

Trust their inner guidance, understand

their unique strengths, and stop

6

saying yes to what drains them Using

Human Design coaching and Reiki, we

7

clear the noise so their no feels

powerful and their yes feels true.

8

When I originally created this

podcast, I created it as a space

9

to talk about the truths of midlife

identity and really evolving into

10

becoming more of our true selves.

11

And today's episode is

really special because.

12

I finally get to share something that I

have poured months of energy, intention,

13

and love into, and I am so excited

to finally be able to share this.

14

It is a completely free collection

called The Rewrite the Rules,

15

a midlife Reboot bundle.

16

So why did I focus on midlife for women?

17

Because we've been taught for so

long that midlife is a crisis.

18

It is not a crisis.

19

I know some people go through these

shifts where they feel like their life

20

is a crisis, and we have these moments.

21

In our mid forties where we're

like, is this all there is?

22

But it's really a shift into becoming

more of our wise, true selves.

23

It's a time when we finally stopped

measuring our value by how useful

24

we are or how agreeable we are to

everyone else, and in the moment

25

we realize that our mothers.

26

Whispered about menopause and midlife,

and we are so done whispering.

27

This is where I am so grateful for

some of the celebrities that have

28

brought this up and into the forefront

because we need to be talking about it.

29

We need to stop whispering in corners

and midlife is when we start asking like,

30

what is the next season going to be like?

31

What gets to be more true for me?

32

And how can I be more of my true self?

33

So why did I create the

rewrite, the Rules Bundle?

34

This is for women who are like me

and women like you, and women who

35

have spent decades doing what we

thought we were supposed to do.

36

Buying into the bill of goods.

37

That has turned out to be bullshit.

38

We've built careers, we're raising

families, we're caregiving, we're

39

managing households, and we're

being everything to everyone.

40

And somewhere along the way

we lost touch with ourselves.

41

I know this so intimately because I

spent years shape shifting, trying

42

to be who I thought I should be.

43

I changed jobs, I changed directions.

44

I tried to fit into a mold that never fit.

45

And no matter how hard I worked, I

still felt like I was falling short.

46

I felt like I was failing.

47

I wasn't enough.

48

But everything changed

when I found Human Design.

49

And you can go back to other

episodes and listen to more

50

about my story with Human Design.

51

But with Human Design, I started to trust

my body and I stopped over functioning as

52

a way of like trying to prove my worth.

53

So what I have done in this bundle is

I have pulled together a community of

54

experts, of 20 brilliant women offering

free resources to help you do the same.

55

This bundle is about validation

and clarity and relief,

56

and remembering yourself.

57

And for every person who signs up

to opt into the bundle, my company

58

is donating $1 split between two

organizations that matter so deeply to me.

59

The Menopause Society, which is helping

lead the conversation on improving care

60

and access for women in midlife life,

really providing a lot of information

61

about menopause and perimenopause.

62

To doctors and providers, and the other

organization is the KC Care Health Center.

63

This is a Kansas City based

nonprofit that provides high quality

64

healthcare to women and people

who otherwise could not afford it.

65

And healthcare is deeply personal to me.

66

I have had health issues much of

my adult life, but when it really

67

affected me most is before Obamacare.

68

In the mid nineties, I could

not get health insurance.

69

I had a preexisting condition that

stopped me from being able to access

70

healthcare in the way that I really needed

I didn't always get the preventative

71

care that I needed because I knew

that I most likely would not be able

72

to afford it, so I put things off.

73

It was a very long five years.

74

And then last year after I turned

50, I joined a perimenopause book

75

group and it was so informative and

I was shocked to learn how under

76

researched and poorly understood

77

Women as a whole are under researched, but

women in midlife are even less represented

78

because in medical school, only 20%

of the education that OBGYNs receive

79

is about perimenopause and midlife.

80

There's so much focus on delivering

babies and pregnant women that they

81

don't even think about the fact that

half of the population is dealing

82

with perimenopause and post-menopause.

83

There's so little information

for doctors and for us as women,

84

the information is so scattered.

85

It's confusing, it's full of gaps.

86

There's so much stuff online that

is actually not even true, and

87

there are symptoms that maybe

don't, aren't fully understood.

88

Like I never could understand why.

89

Some days I can see well, and

other days I can't see well.

90

And then I went to my optometrist and

she said, yeah, welcome to perimenopause.

91

Your eyes are gonna change daily.

92

And then I found out that I

have morning plantar fasciitis.

93

I can't get out of bed sometimes,

not because I don't wanna get

94

outta bed, but because I get

up and my feet are just like.

95

Oh, I don't wanna move.

96

I learned about this from my massage

therapist and from this book group,

97

and my massage therapist actually

gave me a tool to use to help me

98

be able to get out of bed without

feeling like I'm going to fall over.

99

And unless you have the right

provider and a lot of time and

100

money, you're probably often left

to figure this all out on your own.

101

And to this, I say I'm so grateful

again to those who are bringing

102

perimenopause into the forefront.

103

Thank goodness.

104

For Oprah and Drew Barrymore and the other

celebrities who are stepping forward,

105

Glennon Doyle and talking about this.

106

I have, as I have been researching for

this bundle, finding people to contribute.

107

I have had more and more accounts pop

up on my Instagram feed and they are

108

hilarious because they are so true.

109

So let's get into what's in the bundle.

110

There are 20 free resources from coaches.

111

Energy workers, parenting

experts, style guides and more.

112

And let me walk you through a few.

113

I've grouped them so that you

can hear the full range of what

114

we're offering in the bundle.

115

In energy and alignment, there's a

workshop, which is a gentle reset

116

for your business and your self-worth

when they have gotten too tangled up.

117

That is the Enough workshop, which

is energy healing to untangle

118

your worth from your work.

119

And then there is Raising Your

Vibration, a practical toolkit which

120

has simple ways to expand your energy

and reconnect to what's possible.

121

There is the Clarity Compass Journal

and Workshop, which is an intuitive

122

compass to guide you to your

next moves with purpose and calm.

123

And another one is Dream Big PlayShop,

a creative space to design a life that

124

lights you up from the inside out.

125

And we move into the parenting and

relationships category, which has Five

126

questions to get your teens talking.

127

I used this with my 12-year-old.

128

These prompts create real

connection without the eye rolls.

129

There's also a conversation

starters for parents of teens.

130

Which is 20 thoughtful questions

to help deepen family connection,

131

especially during transitions.

132

And there is the Love by Design

blueprint, a Human Design guide to

133

magnetize your right relationships.

134

I looked at this.

135

I am married and it's amazing.

136

And then in Business and Money, there

is the Profit With Peace, A Gentle Money

137

Series, which is a podcast series that

actually helped me pay myself better and

138

feel calmer about my business numbers.

139

And there's the Ultimate Midlife

Side Hustle Guide, which is 30 legit

140

Ideas to earn on your own terms.

141

'cause midlife is not a crisis

as we know it's a launchpad.

142

And in health and wellness, we have

the perimenopause daily checklist,

143

which is 10 daily habits to boost

your mood, metabolism, and calm.

144

And there's the perimenopause 1 0 1

guide, which is what to say at your

145

next GYN appointment and what to

stop believing about perimenopause.

146

There's the Be Your Best Friend bundle,

because your self-talk matters more

147

than any diet or planner ever will.

148

And then we move into the clarity and

career, how to get any job you want,

149

podcast, which is not about hustle,

150

it's about alignment for people who

are ready to stop settling and to find

151

their next career, The simple is sexy.

152

What is your next best move?

153

This is a three day video

series to get you out of your

head and into aligned action.

155

We also have the Wake Up to Life 2.0
