Before you pick up your phone again… ask yourself: 👉 “Why am I picking this up?” That one question can change everything.If you feel completely drained by 4PM… this might not be about your hormones.In this solo episode of Getting to After, Chatone Morrison discusses something many midlife women are quietly experiencing: mental overload from constant input—phones, tabs, conversations, responsibilities, and the things we keep avoiding. Because sometimes what feels like “tired” is actually unfinished mental load.In this solo episode, Chatone Morrison breaks down: - Why you keep reaching for your phone (even when you don’t need it) - How “open boxes” (unfinished tasks, conversations, and decisions) drain your energy - The hidden ways distraction shows up in midlife - Why you feel wired, scattered, and exhausted by the end of the day - Simple ways to start closing mental loops without overwhelmYou’ll also be guided through a grounding exercise and EFT tapping transformation to help release mental clutter and restore calm.If this episode resonated, don’t just scroll past it.Close one box.And come back next Tuesday.----------------------------About Getting to After:Podcast supporting midlife women that understand: emotional healing doesn’t have an age limit and confidence isn’t reserved for the chosen few.New episodes every Tuesday at 8:00 AM Eastern on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, & YouTube.Resources & Links:✨ Explore the Getting to After MagazineWe use proceeds to support Empowerment Essentials self-care kits for women rebuilding their lives after domestic violence👉 bit.ly/G2A-WINTER26✨Free Breakthrough workbook! 👉bit.ly/G2A-LB1✨ Learn about EFT Tapping Circles for Midlife Women: 👉bit.ly/G2A-W8✨ Book a 1:1 Customized EFT & Confidence Coaching Session 👉 bit.ly/chat-tapConnect with us:Instagram: @gettingtoafter

In this episode of Getting to After, we explore what it really means for midlife women to change history—not through big public moments, but through everyday decisions, quiet courage, and learning to use your voice.Because the truth is, the moments that shift a family don’t always happen on a stage… they happen in kitchens, in conversations, and in the choices women make when they decide they can’t keep showing up the same way.In this conversation, we talk about:– Why using your voice can feel so difficult, even when you know what you want to say– How women in midlife begin to recognize what no longer fits– The impact of small, honest decisions on family patterns and future generations– What it looks like to stop abandoning yourself and start choosing differentlyThis episode also includes a guided EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping session to help you release hesitation, reconnect with your inner knowing, and begin moving forward with clarity.✨ Because changing history doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it sounds like a woman finally telling the truth.Support & Resources: The Getting to After magazine is created for midlife women seeking reflection, calm, and emotional reset—and a portion of proceeds supports women in transition who need care and essentials. grab the annual subscription at bit.ly/g2a-winter26To schedule a customized workshop session visit bit.ly/chat-tapNew episodes every Tuesday at 8AM Eastern.

What happens when the apology never comes… and you’re the one who still has to find peace?Most of us can remember a moment when something important happened in a relationship… and the repair we expected never came.In this solo episode of Getting to After, Chatone Morrison reflects on the quiet emotional weight of waiting for an apology that never arrives. For many midlife women, unresolved moments like these don’t just disappear. They linger in the body, in the nervous system, and in the stories we carry about our worth, our voice, and our place in a relationship.This episode explores what it means to hold both power and peace at the same time. Not by pretending the rupture didn’t matter, but by choosing not to let unresolved pain define your future.Chatone also guides listeners through an EFT tapping transformation designed to help release the emotional tension that can build when repair never comes.Inside the episode:• Why unresolved hurt stays with us longer than we expect• The complicated relationship between apology, accountability, and forgiveness• How midlife often brings clarity about what we will and will not carry anymore• A gentle EFT tapping session to support emotional releaseIf you’ve ever found yourself waiting for acknowledgment, repair, or accountability that never arrived, this conversation is for you.New episodes of Getting to After release every Tuesday at 8AM Eastern.Share your tapping results with us in the comments.

Why do so many midlife women feel responsible for everything?In this episode of Getting to After, Chatone Morrison and Morganne Bustos explore over-responsibility in midlife — the emotional pressure to manage, anticipate, fix, and hold things together for everyone else.For many women over 40, being the capable one became a survival strategy. But over time, that pattern can quietly turn into midlife burnout, nervous system tension, and emotional exhaustion.In this conversation, we discuss:• What over-responsibility really looks like• The connection between people pleasing and chronic stress• Why high-functioning women struggle to put things down• How emotional responsibility can become part of identity• The toll of carrying what was never fully yoursThe episode includes a grounding reset and a guided EFT tapping session designed to help release emotional overload and support nervous system regulation.If you constantly feel responsible for everyone’s emotions, peace, or outcomes, this conversation will resonate.You are allowed to care without carrying it all.Accompanying video content available on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/YZqy1s1_iyc—Continue the work with us:The Getting to After Winter Magazine supports Empowerment Essential Kits for women rebuilding their lives in shelters after domestic violence.bit.ly/G2A-WINTER26Learn more about EFT Tapping Circles for Midlife Women:bit.ly/G2A-W8Book a 1:1 Customized EFT & Confidence Coaching session:bit.ly/chat-tapNew episodes every Tuesday at 8:00 AM Eastern.

If affirmations worked the way we were told they would, most midlife women wouldn’t still feel stuck.In this episode of Getting to After, Chatone Morrison and Morganne Bustos explore why traditional affirmations often stop working in midlife and how the nervous system responds when language feels forced, premature, or unsafe.You’ll learn why repeating phrases like “I am confident” or “I trust myself” can actually create resistance, tension, and emotional shutdown, especially for women who have spent years caregiving, surviving, or holding everything together.This episode is for midlife women who feel frustrated with affirmations that no longer land and want a more supportive, nervous-system-aware approach to self-talk and emotional healing.In this conversation, we cover:• Why affirmations can feel like a threat instead of a goal• How the nervous system responds to language it does not believe yet• Why toxic positivity leaves no room for truth• The difference between forcing belief and creating safety• How EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) supports emotional regulation• A grounding practice and a full tapping transformationIf you have ever felt worse after saying affirmations, you are not broken.You do not need louder words. You need kinder, more accurate ones.New episodes of Getting to After drop every Tuesday at 8:00 AM Eastern.

In this episode of Getting to After, Chatone Morrison and Morganne Bustos talk about one of the most common midlife experiences that’s hard to explain — and even harder to say out loud.When you don’t feel like yourself.Not sick.Not in crisis.Not falling apart.Just… off.This episode is a gentle space for the woman who’s been carrying on quietly, while something in her body keeps whispering, pay attention.Together, we explore why phrases like “Welcome to your 40s” often miss the mark, and how dismissing subtle emotional and physical shifts can leave women feeling unseen rather than supported.In this conversation, you’ll find:Language for a feeling many women recognize but rarely nameReflection questions to help you notice what feels different, heavier, or overdue for careA grounding practice to help your body settle and arriveA full EFT tapping session designed to support you even when clarity hasn’t come yetBecause tapping doesn’t require you to know exactly what’s wrong.It gives your body a way to soften — and often, the words follow.There’s nothing you need to prove here.You’re allowed to notice.You’re allowed to be curious.You’re allowed to take yourself seriously without making your experience dramatic.And if you’ve been feeling off, sweetheart, that doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.It may simply mean something in you is asking to be heard.If you’d like to continue this work with us:Visit us online: gettingtoafter.com1:1 EFT sessions: bit.ly/chat-tapJoin the Getting to After list for tapping circles and updates: bit.ly/G2A-W8Explore Chatone’s book F.A.T.T. & Happy on Amazon: bit.ly/fattandhappybookJournal alongside us with the Getting to After Journal: gettingtoafter.com/writing-journalWe release new episodes every Tuesday at 8AM Eastern.You can also find us on Instagram @getting_to_after and TikTok @chatonemorrison.

This episode is for the woman who feels everything — the mood in the room, the tension behind a smile, the weight people don’t say out loud.In this solo episode of Getting to After, Chatone Morrison explores what it means to have thin energetic boundaries, especially in midlife, when your nervous system has already carried decades of responsibility, caregiving, leadership, and emotional labor.This conversation gently unpacks why feeling deeply is not a flaw or weakness, how thin energetic boundaries show up as exhaustion, overwhelm, or emotional “stickiness,” and why telling yourself to “just let it go” doesn’t work if your body hasn’t processed the experience.Chatone also shares real-life examples from work, family, and social spaces, along with simple grounding and regulation practices. A guided EFT tapping session is included to help you release what isn’t yours to carry.If you’ve ever wondered why certain rooms drain you, why you need more recovery time than others, or why you absorb emotions before words are spoken, this episode will help you name what’s happening — without shame.You’re not broken.You’re not “too sensitive.”You’re navigating a loud world with a finely tuned nervous system.✨ If you want to continue this work:Visit us at gettingtoafter.com1:1 sessions: bit.ly/chat-tapJoin the Getting to After list: bit.ly/G2A-W8Explore F.A.T.T. & Happy by Chatone Morrison on Amazon: bit.ly/fattandhappybookJournal alongside us with the Getting to After Journal: gettingtoafter.com/writing-journalNew episodes every Tuesday at 8AM Eastern.

This week’s episode of Getting to After is intentionally slower.If you’ve been holding a lot — emotionally, mentally, quietly — this episode offers a place to soften that grip without needing to fix anything. For many midlife women, the pressure to keep going doesn’t come from urgency, but from habit. And over time, that pressure adds up.In this episode, Chatone Morrison and Morganne Bustos introduce F.A.T.T. & Happy Tapping Tuesday, a once-a-month rhythm on the podcast devoted to extended EFT tapping, nervous system support, and gentle emotional release. This session focuses on letting go of pressure and learning how to carry less, especially after periods of retreat, transition, or deep reflection.You’ll be guided through grounding, a short journaling reflection, and a full EFT tapping sequence designed to help your nervous system settle and your body feel safer easing up. This isn’t about change-driven January energy — it’s about integration, steadiness, and choosing a pace that supports where you are now.If you’re longing for a calmer way to begin or continue the year, this episode is here to meet you.✨ If you want to continue this work:Visit us on the web: gettingtoafter.comTo receive a 1:1 session: bit.ly/chat-tapJoin the Getting to After list for more information about our tapping circles: bit.ly/G2A-W8Explore Chatone’s book F.A.T.T. & Happy on Amazon: bit.ly/fattandhappybookJournal alongside us with the Getting to After Journal: gettingtoafter.com/writing-journalWe’re here every Tuesday at 8AM Eastern.You can also find us on Instagram: instagram.com/getting_to_after
