Dr. Amanda Hanson is a clinical psychologist, author of Muse, and founder of The Midlife Muse. She’s spent over 25 years helping women around the world ‘mother’ themselves and unlock real safety, love, and confidence from within.
Today, Amanda joins me for a deep conversation about healing, motherhood, and what it really means to age as a woman.
Amanda shares the moment that made her start questioning what she'd been taught about women’s bodies, and how she realized just how much of psychology and medicine was built by and for men.
We dive deep into emotional trauma from childhood, growing up feeling abandoned, and what it’s like to carry those wounds into adulthood. Amanda also explains the transformative power of somatic healing, and the cultural silence around women’s sensuality, self-pleasure, and aging.
We also tackle the pressure on women to hide the signs of aging and Amanda's method to 'mother yourself,' so you can fill that deep ache for guidance and safety in your own life. You’ll walk away with a fresh view of beauty and concrete steps to embrace your changing body as an act of self‑love.
Join us today if you’ve ever wondered how to heal your old wounds, reclaim your body, or face the future with more courage and grace.
