Mind Your Midlife | Women Over 40, Menopause, Self Care, Mindset, Empty Nest, Aging Parents, Healthy Habits, Self-Talk

by Cheryl Fischer, Life Coach for Midlife Women, Podcaster, Corporate Trainer

Mind Your Midlife is a weekly podcast for women in their 40s and 50s who want to feel confident in their bodies, their relationships, and their next chapter. Host Cheryl Fischer, a certified life and mindset coach, talks with doctors, experts, and real women about the questions midlife brings, from perimenopause and menopause to adult kids, aging parents, and figuring out what you want next.Did you wake up one morning and realize you've hit midlife? You thought by now you'd have six figures in your retirement fund, the confidence to speak up at work and in your relationships, and a body you'd learned to love. You've tried positive thinking, the 5am club, and the sticky notes around the house, and you're left more frustrated (or reaching for the wine and Netflix).Here's the difference: real change doesn't come from adding more habits to your day. It comes from how you think and the emotions you feel. Each week, Cheryl and her guests share practical, expert-led conversations about:• Perimenopause, menopause, hormones, and exercise• Body image and self-confidence after 40• Healthy relationships with your partner/spouse, adult children, and aging parents• Decision making, career changes, and second-act goals• Money and retirement confidence• Making friends and building community in midlifeCheryl has helped hundreds of midlife women find success and confidence, and with more than 100 episodes, there's a conversation here for wherever you are right now.Take a little bit better care of yourself in midlife.Episodes, show notes, and transcripts: https://mindyourmidlifepodcast.comCoaching and resources: https://cherylpfischer.com(Formerly the OMG Teach Me podcast) -Listen Notes global top 2% score- Popular topics include: mindset for women over 50, menopause and perimenopause, hormone balance, self talk and self confidence, redefining aging for women, mindset shifts, midlife crisis, midlife body positivity, energy in midlife, confidence in midlife, finding community after 50, midlife isolation, staying active in midlife, mental benefits of movement, healthy habits for midlife women, Gen X women, adult children, sandwich generation, can’t sleep, pulled muscles, stiff joints, hot flashes, brain fog, making friends, retirement, retirement prep, adult children, aging parents, caring for parents, empty nest, grandma hobbies
