Rewriting the Midlife Health Narrative with Karen Yaworsky: A LET's Network the Podcast Crossover

In this episode, I'm doing a Podcast crossover with LET's Network the Podcast where I am being interviewed!   I share why so many women over 40 feel exhausted, inflamed, disconnected from their bodies, and frustrated that what used to work no longer does. Drawing on more than two decades in the wellness industry and my own journey through burnout, hormonal shifts, and major life transitions, I explain why midlife is not a breakdown but an invitation to reconnect, realign, and reclaim your power. This episode is for women who are done powering through and ready to work with their bodies instead of against them.
