About this episode

This episode discusses how women can redefine strength and rebuild consistency in midlife without self-punishment.

This episode explores how discipline was confused with cruelty and why midlife demands a new definition of strength. Women will learn how to rebuild consistency without force and lead themselves with respect instead of pressure.
