If you’ve been trying supplement after supplement, hoping something will finally bring your energy back, or white-knuckling your way through perimenopause thinking you just have to survive it, this conversation might change how you see everything that’s happening in your body.

In this episode, we introduce the Chakra Map of Midlife, our holistic framework that reframes menopause as not just a physical event, but a transformation of body, mind, and spirit.

We explore how emotional and spiritual imbalances can manifest as physical symptoms, and how midlife is actually your body’s invitation to awaken to deeper purpose, authenticity, and vitality.

What You’ll Learn

• Why supplements and hormones only address one-third of what’s really going on in your body
• The hidden emotional and energetic layers of perimenopause
• How unprocessed emotions like fear, guilt, and frustration can show up as anxiety, fatigue, or physical discomfort
• How to use the chakra system as a map for healing and rebalancing during midlife
• Why your symptoms might be sacred messages guiding you toward wholeness

If this conversation resonates with you, join us (Sheri and Jen) for our upcoming Reclaim Your Aliveness in the Sacred Valley of Peru — a 9-day retreat designed to help midlife women reclaim aliveness, purpose, and reconnection with their bodies through the Chakra Map framework.

Do you ever feel like your mind is running a marathon while your body is stuck in place? If every decision, (even sometimes the small ones) requires endless research, pros-and-cons lists, or asking everyone for advice… and you still can't choose, this episode is for you.

Today we're diving into the pattern that keeps so many spiritual midlife women spinning, stuck, and drained: overthinking.

We'll break down why the advice you've been given like "just think positively" or "make a pros-and-cons list" actually keeps you trapped. And, as always, we'll tie this back to the physical and emotional symptoms you feel as you transition through menopause and beyond.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand the real cost of staying stuck in overthinking, the possibilities that open up when you shift from endless analysis to intuitive action, and exactly what to do to get out of it.

You'll discover:

• Why overthinking shows up in midlife and how it's connected to your nervous system trying to keep you safe
• What's actually happening in your body when you're stuck in mental loops (and why it feels so exhausting)
• Why common advice doesn't work, and how it actually keeps you more stuck in your head
• The real cost of staying in over-analysis: drained energy, eroded confidence, and disconnection from your intuition
• A new approach: How to shift from your mind to your body and start trusting your intuition instead of endless data
• Practical steps you can take today to break the overthinking cycle and reclaim your energy

The key thing to take away from this episode is that overthinking isn't a character flaw - it's a nervous system pattern trying to keep you safe. But the safety it promises is an illusion that costs you your energy, confidence, and connection to yourself. When you shift your focus from endless analysis to intuitive, body-based action, you reclaim your time, energy, and trust in yourself.

Are you constantly running on empty? If you're a midlife woman who feels like she has to do everything perfectly, you're not just 'busy', you're trapped. That relentless drive for excellence is a coping strategy that's secretly spiking your stress hormones (cortisol), leaving you exhausted, anxious, and making your menopause symptoms feel 10x worse.

In this episode, we reveal the surprising connection between your need for "high standards" and your lack of time and energy, and gives you the exact steps to stop this cycle for good.

You'll discover:

• Why your 'good intentions' to be perfect are actually sabotaging your energy and time.
• The scientific reason (hello, cortisol!) why perfectionism is making your hot flashes and brain fog worse.
• The surprising truth about why you're chasing perfection, and how it's secretly tied to your fear of not being worthy unless you're constantly doing more.
• How perfectionism keeps you focused on what others think, and the simple mental shift that allows you to finally prioritize your own time and peace.
