239: Healing at the Root with Judith Richey

When life looks good on the outside, but feels empty on the inside, what do you do? In this episode of the Total Health in Midlife podcast, I'm joined by transformational mentor Judith Richey for a candid conversation about what happens when we spend too many years saying yes to everyone but ourselves. From the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways we lose ourselves in midlife, to the physical and emotional toll of ignoring our own needs, Judith shares her personal experience of hitting rock bottom, and how she found her way back. If you've ever wondered what it really means to reclaim your health, reconnect with your intuition, and create a life that actually feels aligned, you won't want to miss this episode. This isn't just inspiration. It's instruction.   About Judith Richey: Judith is a spiritual and transformative healer who guides women through deep emotional and energetic healing to reclaim clarity, peace, and purpose. Drawing on certifications in energy psychology, meditation, NLP, and somatic practices, she blends neuroscience and sacred tools to help women move from stuck to unstoppable. Judith is the founder of The Transforming Force membership, a sanctuary for women ready to shift out of survival mode and into soul-led living. She's also the creator of The Fempreneur Connection Summit, a powerful 3-day online event that supports women entrepreneurs in building aligned, intuitive, and successful businesses.  https://www.judithrichey.com.
