Hi friends, today we're overcoming guilt and prioritizing self-care in midlife on the Life Coach BFF Show.
In this episode, we explore the challenges midlife women face, especially moms of teens and young adults, in prioritizing self-care.
The host, Heather Pettey, shares a listener's story about feeling lost and overwhelmed and offers strategies to start putting oneself first, despite years of self-neglect.
The episode includes scientific data on the mental health struggles women face and shares inspiring anecdotes like Susan Lister Locke's journey to a fulfilling second career. Practical tips for self-care, scheduling 'me time', reconnecting with passions, and building supportive networks are discussed.
