Episode 486: When Self-Care Feels Selfish After 40

from Grace & Grit Podcast · host Grace & Grit LLC

If taking care of yourself feels selfish, you've been conditioned to believe depletion is noble. Many women over 40 struggle with guilt when prioritizing sleep, movement, boundaries, or rest during perimenopause and menopause. This episode dismantles the myth that self-care is indulgent and reframes it as essential maintenance. Sustainable health in midlife requires self-respect, not self-sacrifice. If you want to take this work deeper, grab my book The Consistency Code: A Midlife Woman's Guide to Deep Health and Happiness. ✨ It's the roadmap midlife women are using to lead themselves powerfully in the health arena and beyond.
