About this episode
In this episode, Bria Gadd discusses the reasons women in midlife may feel a loss of energy and motivation, and offers actionable steps to regain their spark.
Have you ever caught yourself thinking… “where did that version of me go?” In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many women in midlife suddenly feel flat, foggy, and just not like themselves anymore and why this is not a personality problem. We’re going to connect what’s happening inside your body to what you’re feeling day to day, so you can finally stop blaming yourself. I’ll walk you through the real reasons your energy, motivation, and spark feel like they’ve disappeared (from blood sugar, hormones to stress and nervous system overload). And I’ll give you simple, doable steps to start rebuilding your energy so you can actually feel like yourself again, not just push through the day. If you’ve been pondering what’s happening to you lately, press play, this one will make everything click.
