Reclaiming Joy and Meaning: For Moms in Midlife

Dr. Jim Bramson interviews Lisa Rosenthal, J.D. and Johanna Murphy, Ph.D. In this episode, Dr. Jim sits down with Lisa Rosenthal (lawyer, coach, and all-around human potential wrangler) and Dr. Johanna Murphy (psychologist and midlife whisperer) to talk about their group for moms navigating the wonderfully confusing second act of life. They delve into subjects like menopause, changing roles, transitions, shifting responsibilities, and newfound freedom. Johanna and Lisa also dive into the rollercoaster of midlife transitions: the body shifts, relationships shift, identity shifts—basically everything shifts except the demands on your time (those, apparently, stay on repeat). Think of it as adolescence with better skin and more of an opportunity to be yourself because, after all, “everyone else is taken.” Together this dynamic duo explores how to ditch limiting narratives, embrace mindfulness tools, and find joy, meaning, and purpose in a stage of life that can feel like chaos and possibility rolled into one.Credits:River is High, Ticketless TravelerCarl Reisman, guitar, singer, and songwriterJenny Goodwine, vocalsJames Singleton, bassJohnny Vidocovich, drumsDave Easley, steel guitarProduced by Morgan Orion Reismanfor more information, [email protected] 2025WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here
