About this listen

In this episode of Functional Moms Podcast, we learn quick stress-busting strategies to put ourselves first and set boundaries without guilt.

Guest Diane Lang is a certified positive psychology coach, speaker, educator and author of 4 books. Her most recent book, Worthy, explores the hidden causes of unworthiness, its deeper implications, and its connection to perfectionism and control.

We learn:

  • Women over 40 face unique stressors due to hormonal changes and caregiving responsibilities

  • Many women experience an identity crisis in midlife, questioning their life choices

  • Setting boundaries is essential for mental health, yet often comes with guilt

  • Self-care is not selfish, it is necessary for overall well-being

  • True self-care involves meeting basic needs like sleep, nutrition and exercise

  • Routines are vital for maintaining balance and health in daily life

  • How finding purpose in midlife is crucial for fulfillment
