#33 Why Smart, Self-Aware Women Stay Stuck

There’s never been more access to psychological education - yet midlife women’s mental health is not improving.In this episode, I explore why insight alone doesn’t create change. Drawing on developmental neuroscience and the work of Dr. Bruce Perry, I explain how early relational experiences shape adult stress physiology - and why perimenopause often exposes what was never fully integrated.If you understand your patterns but still feel overwhelmed, wired, exhausted, or stuck, I’ll walk you through what’s actually missing.Because knowing better is not the same as feeling better.
