So many women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are living through the same reality — sleepless nights, shifting moods, bodies that don’t feel familiar anymore — and yet we rarely talk about it. Midlife has become one of the most silenced chapters of a woman’s life.

In this episode of Radically You, Kate Garland explores why that silence exists, how it isolates us, and what it costs when we keep pretending everything is fine. From cultural conditioning that teaches us not to “complain,” to the shame woven into women’s bodies from menarche onward, Kate shares both personal stories and neuroscience on why hiding doesn’t heal — and why speaking our truth sets us free.

You’ll learn:

• Why so many women fall into the “complainer” or “silent soldier” trap in midlife.
• The hidden cost of silence — on our nervous systems, our relationships, and our sense of self.
• How shame around women’s bodies is passed down from generation to generation.
• The liberating power of sacred witnessing: being seen and heard without judgment.

Because ending the silence isn’t just relief — it’s liberation.
