Have you ever driven to work or the store, pulled into your parking spot, and suddenly realized you don't remember the drive at all? That is autopilot—and it doesn’t just happen on the road. It happens in our careers, our relationships, and our daily routines. In this episode, Cheryl breaks…

You can have a cocktail or a glass of wine for fun and celebration… or to deal with stress. One is easy and light and the other is a path to a negative habit. It’s more about the emotions than the drink. Cheryl loved what @hangoverwhisperer shared in episode 99…

There is a middle ground with alcohol that affects so many of us in midlife: we're not dealing with addiction, but we often wake up feeling guilty, tired, and stuck in a cycle of habitual drinking. We tell ourselves we’ll stop, only to pour another glass to take the edge…

Friendship change or loss is something that we rarely talk about enough during our 40s and 50s. We often feel guilty when we realize we are outgrowing the people we used to spend our time with, or we wonder why we simply don't have the same energy to maintain our…

There is a habit that drains the energy of so many women in their 40s and 50s, yet we struggle to break free from it: people-pleasing. We often spend our days managing what other people are feeling, worrying about being perceived as rude, and agonizing over every decision so we…

The constant, crushing overwhelm of modern life affects so many of us in our 40s and 50s, yet we tend to internalize it as if it's our personal issue. We often feel like we are failing to balance it all, caught between caring for aging parents and raising children, all…

Many of us in midlife are navigating situations with no happy ending. We struggle with how to stay positive when facing the harsh realities of aging parents, chronic illness, or deep loss. In this episode, a follow-up to the popular conversation on "getting your hopes up" (Episode 86 (https://www.mindyourmidlifepodcast.com/86-get-your-hopes-up-stop-bracing-for-disappointment-in-midlife/) ),…

There is a perfect storm of transitions that hits women in our 40s, 50s, and 60s: kids leaving home, aging parents, prep for retirement, and menopause. With so much happening at once, it is completely normal to feel frustrated, unfulfilled, or a little bit lost. We often spend our days…

Have you ever been in a situation where you are absolutely convinced, 100% convinced, that you know what someone else is thinking about you? I think the answer to that for all of us is yes! We convince ourselves we know what our partners, bosses, or friends are thinking, and…

We know that meditation could help with the stress and upheaval of midlife (or we've at least heard that somewhere). Yet, so many of us feel like we just can't stop our brains from running a mile a minute, leaving us feeling guilty that we can't get meditation right. Today…

Cheryl and Adrian Thompson, PA-C were thrilled to present the lunch session fireside chat for the AWE Women in Business Summit 2026. We captured it by phone so that you could take a look as well. Looking for some ways to manage stress, make decisions, and feel physically better in…

Has anyone ever suggested you write down three things you're grateful for every night—and you totally resisted the idea? We've all heard the buzz about gratitude, but sometimes it just feels like another chore on our to-do list, or worse, a push for "toxic positivity." In this episode, we are…

We are so hard on ourselves! And hypnotherapy can help us move beyond that and find the real truths. Listen to the full story on episode 89 of Mind Your Midlife podcast. #mindyourmidlife #hypnotherapy @christinalwoods

When we hit our forties and fifties, we often look around, realize our lives are pretty good, and still notice a sense of dissatisfaction or restlessness. Then, we feel guilty for feeling that way because we know how blessed we are to have families, friends, and careers we (at least)…

Have you ever wondered why two people who are both 55 years old can look and act completely different, with one appearing ten years younger and the other seeming far older? In this episode, we explore the fascinating connection between our minds and the aging process to ask: are we…
