#154: My Midlife Identity Crisis & Choosing to Age Powerfully, Not Fade Away

from Menopause Strength Training & Fitness | 40+ Fitness for Women · host Coach Lynn Sederlöf-Airisto

Have you ever heard that menopause is like a second puberty? I think that idea goes beyond the hormonal changes and into something deeper: our identity.We’re no longer considered “young,” but identifying as “old” doesn’t sit right either. As women in midlife, many of us are coming into our power. After decades of raising kids, taking care of family, navigating marriage and career, we finally have time and energy to turn inward.And we’re not done living.In this episode, I share my own struggle with this identity shift and the conclusions I’ve come to for myself. My hope is that by sharing my story, it helps someone who’s wrestling with the same questions.Enjoy the show!Send me your thoughts 😃Support the showJoin my strength training membership > Learn to Lift with my 10-week program >Get my free guide: How to Start Strength Training After 40 >> Lose fat faster with my Midlife Fat Loss Formula >Subscribe to my weekly newsletter>>Let's connect!Instagram >Facebook >YouTube >My website >
