Numbing vs. Nourishing (Part 2): Why Don't I Know What I Need?
About this episode
The episode explores the disconnect many experience in midlife regarding their needs and offers insights on reconnecting with one's inner voice.
Ever feel like you should know what you need by now—but don't? You're not alone. In this episode, we explore why so many of us in midlife lose touch with our own truth—and how the patterns that once protected us (taught us to stay quiet, play small, and tune out that inner voice) now keep us stuck. You'll learn why saying "I don't know (yet)" can be one of the most freeing things you do—and a simple practice to help you reconnect with what truly nourishes you in this season. Messy, real, and permission-giving in all the right ways. New here? Start with Part 1—it sets everything up.
