This Woman Explains What’s Happening in Midlife

What if nothing is wrong with you...you've just never been told what's happening?In this episode of The Roar Podcast, Danielle Davies sits down with therapist, coach, and writer Ellen Scherr to talk about a phase of life many women experience, but few fully understand.Because for women, it doesn't start with a clear moment or a diagnosis. It starts with a feeling that something is off, something has changed, and no one seems to have a clear answer. Danielle and Ellen explore what happens when women try to make sense of changes that aren't well explained, openly discussed, or consistently experienced.Together, they talk about:Why so many women assume something is "wrong" with themThe gap between what women experience and what they're toldHow medical dismissal contributes to confusion and self-doubtWhy these changes are rarely talked about openlyThe challenge of symptoms that don't look the same for everyoneHow lack of language makes it harder to seek supportThe emotional toll of navigating something you don't fully understandWhy validation can be just as important as treatmentEllen's work reminds us that confusion is not a personal failure—it's often the result of not being given the full picture. This conversation is for anyone who has ever thought, "What is happening to me? " during midlife and felt like they were the only one.Key TakeawaysYou are not the only one experiencing thisLack of information often leads to self-doubtNot all women experience this the same wayMedical systems don't always provide full explanationsUnderstanding what's happening can change how you experience itLinks Mentioned in this EpisodeEllen's substackEllen's websiteDon't Miss a Conversation🎧Follow & Subscribe on: Apple Spotify YouTube 📩 Sign up for Danielle’s newsletter🔗 ConnectInstagram LinkedIn Website #RoarPodcast #EllenScherr #WomensHealth #MidlifeWomen #Perimenopause#WomensWellness #NormalizeTheConversation #WomenAndHealth #DanielleDavies
