Midlife Adaptability Magic with Dr. Rebecca Sutherns S3E113

from Transforming 45 · host Lisa Boate

In this episode of Transforming 45, Lisa welcomes strategic facilitator and changemaker Dr. Rebecca Sutherns for a powerful conversation about embracing change, cultivating adaptability, and navigating the shifting terrain of midlife transitions—including menopause. Dr. Sutherns shares wisdom on how to meet life’s inevitable changes with clarity and confidence. From the boardroom to the kitchen table, she explores how anchor points, elasticity, and collective responsibility help women lead themselves and others through seasons of transformation. The discussion also dives into how workplaces must evolve to support women, especially during menopause, and why adaptability is no longer optional—it’s essential. Whether you're leading a team or leading your own life through big changes, this episode offers practical tools and fresh insight into how we grow through what we go through. Key Takeaways: Change is not a disruption—it’s the new normal. Adaptability is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and strengthened. Clarity about your current self is key to moving forward. Menopause in the workplace deserves real talk and real policies. Collective responsibility leads to stronger, more adaptable teams. Anchor points (people, routines, or values) help steady us during change. Elasticity is a powerful metaphor for managing life’s demands.
