Hosted by Dr. Oksana Skidan — Writer, Educator, and Creator of the Create Your Midlife™ Method.
December is the season of gatherings — and with it, the season of compliments.
But for many midlife women, hearing “you look amazing” or “you’ve done so much” can trigger discomfort instead of confidence.
In this episode of the Create Your Midlife™ Podcast, Dr. Oksana Skidan explores how compliments can become a powerful tool for rebuilding self-trust, confidence, and emotional connection in midlife.
You’ll discover:
✨ Why women over 40 often struggle to receive compliments — and how to change that.
✨ The link between self-worth, self-image, and feminine confidence.
✨ How to give yourself genuine credit for growth, courage, and effort.
✨ The mindset shift that transforms compliments into acts of self-agency.
This episode blends psychology, story, and practical wisdom from Oksana’s upcoming book, The Courage to Know, to help you feel seen, grounded, and confident — exactly where you are.
🎧 Listen now and learn the art of giving, receiving, and believing compliments — because confidence in midlife begins with how you see yourself.
