Ep. 228: The Losses Midlife Women Carry That Never Get a Funeral

Send us Fan MailBefore we get into it, I want to ask you something. And I want you to actually sit with it for a second.How are you, really?Not the "I'm fine" version. Not the answer you give when someone asks in the school pickup line or at the family dinner table. The real one.Because here's what I notice about a lot of women in this season of life. Life looks… fine. Maybe even good. The house is standing. The kids are mostly okay. You're showing up. You're handling it.But something feels heavier than it used to.And you can't quite explain why.You haven't lost anyone. Nothing catastrophic has happened. There's no obvious reason to feel what you feel. So you push it down. You tell yourself you're just tired. You tell yourself to be grateful. You make another cup of coffee and you keep going.But it doesn't go away.There is a kind of grief in midlife that doesn't look like grief at all. No funeral. No casseroles. No one sending flowers or asking how you're holding up. And yet… something is gone.And I think it's time we talked about it.Resources mentioned in this episode:The Losses Midlife Women Carry That No One Talks AboutGet some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on. We have a beautiful pdf download of the 6 Mantras For Intentional Moms you can keep or print.
