Season 2 Episode 3: Starting Over in Midlife: Trust Yourself Again with Krista Bleich

from Suzi Says · host Suzi Evans

Identity, reinvention, the quiet pull toward something more, many of us feel it long before we understand it. A whisper that life could be fuller, truer, more aligned… if only we had the courage to listen.But what happens when that whisper becomes impossible to ignore?In this conversation, I sit down with the deeply grounded and inspiring Krista Bleich, NLP practitioner, hypnotherapist, and author of The One Who Knows: A Memoir of Starting Over in Midlife. Krista’s journey is one of profound unraveling and rebuilding after losing her business, ending her marriage, and redefining her entire identity in her late 50s.Together, we explore what it really means to begin again, not from scratch, but from experience.We explored:Krista’s lifelong sense that something was “off” and how that quiet knowing guided her back to herself.The moment everything changed, losing her business, filing for bankruptcy, and leaving her marriage within months.Why success built on external validation can leave us feeling empty and exhausted.The difference between being “stuck” and being in a necessary pause before clarity arrives.How to build trust in yourself through small, consistent steps, not giant leaps.What bravery actually looks like in everyday life, hint, it’s not what you think.Why midlife isn’t an ending, it’s often the most honest beginning.The power of following your inner knowing, even when you don’t yet understand where it’s leading.This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads, wondering if it’s too late, too messy, or too uncertain to start again.Together, we unpack what it means to trust the voice within, then lay it all out on the Workbench for the Mind.💡 Ready to listen to the one who knows?🌸 Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode!Let’s get started.💡 Ready to start your journey?📘 Choose You | Free Traininghttps://www.suzievans.com/free-training-choose-you🌸 Explore the Workbench for the Mind programhttps://www.suzievans.com/workbench📚 Find support with the Grief Bookhttps://www.suzievans.com/shop🔗 Find all the resources here:https://linktr.ee/suzievans🔗 Connect with Krista: https://www.facebook.com/kristableich/📘 The One Who Knows available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/One-Who-Knows-Starting-Midlife-ebook/dp/B0GG42G8XG
