We have a great discussion about how midlife is a time to disrupt life and to turn things into what we want and not what we think people want us to do.\n\nThis is an essential part of finding ourselves as women, but it can be overwhelming making all these changes. Elaine talks about how these changes can be a gift, including the gift of divorce, which can give us the opportunity to be who we want to be. We talk about reality and how we often don't know what we want to do, and feeling lost or searching is a natural part of this rediscovery of ourselves. We need to stop shaming, blaming, and questioning ourselves about wanting something different and making a change.\n\nWe discuss how relationships can change over time, and how our perceptions or baggage may hold us in relationships that are no longer helpful, healthy, or supportive. Elaine shares her ideas on healing and moving forward, letting go of these limits, and seeking self-approval. Shedding old programming about perfection and what we are \"supposed\" to be is the only way to develop our own self-approval and step into our full potential.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/e1c91fe4-ee20-4cff-9afa-a783056d60c4/FAujDEPaxdJEVP4igjNP2Mjn.png"}
