When life goes sideways, it's easy to fall into a spiral of negative thoughts, self-blame, and emotional overwhelm—especially for women in midlife who have already weathered so many life changes.

In this episode of Life Is Now… Do It While You Can, Suzanne Oshima, Life Coach for Women in Midlife, shares a deeply personal reflection on how she learned to stop herself from spiraling down the rabbit hole when something negative happens.

Suzanne knows firsthand how one challenging moment can quickly turn into a pattern of doom-and-gloom thinking and how hard it can be to climb back out once you're there.

Instead of relying on mindset clichés or toxic positivity, Suzanne reveals one simple habit she began practicing that gently redirects her thoughts before they spiral, without ignoring real emotions or minimizing what's happening. This is real, practical life coaching for women who want tools that actually work in everyday life.

If you're a woman in midlife who struggles with negative thought loops, emotional spirals, or slipping into a victim mindset that doesn't truly feel like you, this episode offers a compassionate and grounded approach to shifting your mindset—one small habit at a time.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why negative spirals don't start at the bottom, they start with one unchecked thought
• How to redirect your mindset without forcing positivity or bypassing emotions
• How one small habit can help women over 50 reduce emotional overwhelm and return to peace and gratitude

Have you ever looked back on your life and thought, "What if I had done that when I had the chance?!"

For so many midlife women, the regrets aren't about what we did...they're about the things we didn't do. The dreams we postponed. The adventures we put off. The waiting for the perfect time.

In this episode of Life Is Now… Do It While You Can Show, Suzanne Oshima, Life Coach for Women in Midlife, sits down with Confidence Coach and Podcast Host Kim Benoy for an honest, heart-centered conversation about what it really means to live midlife without regrets.

Kim shares how she walked away from a long nursing career, reinvented herself in midlife, and chose courage over comfort...even when fear tried to hold her back.

Together, Suzanne and Kim explore how wake-up calls, life transitions, and the passage of time push many women to ask deeper questions about who they are and how they truly want to live.

As a Midlife Coach, Suzanne reminds us that midlife isn't a time to settle or play small...it's a powerful opportunity to create a life you're proud of. And just as important, she highlights why friendship and connection matter so much in this chapter, especially when you don't want to live your next adventures alone.

In this episode for women in midlife, you'll learn:

• Why the biggest regrets often come from the things we never did
• How fear keeps midlife women stuck — and how to move through it
• Why waiting for the "right time" can quietly turn into never
• How to start living midlife with intention instead of "what ifs"

If you've been feeling the pull to live more fully, stop putting yourself last, and create a life with fewer regrets — this episode is your reminder that it's not too late.

Midlife isn't the end. It's the beginning of what's next.

Because life is now… do it while you can. 💗
