Cultivating the Feminine Wealth Frequency in Midlife for Glow, Flow & Nourishment

What if midlife isn’t a slow fade but the ignition point of your power years? Tara invites us into a body-first approach to wealth, glow, and leadership by treating midlife as a living portal rather than a problem to solve. We trace the path from chronic overgiving and obligation to a grounded rhythm where the womb becomes creative headquarters and abundance flows from regulation, nourishment, and truth.

We start with the real reason so many women feel depleted even with “perfect” self-care: decades of overriding the feminine system. From there, we build a new foundation—creating sacred morning space, breathing deeper, and using slow circular movement to thaw the pelvis and calm the nervous system. Tara spotlights three places where stagnation steals radiance in midlife—the liver, the lymph, and the pelvic bowl—and shares gentle, realistic support. Think caffeine reduction, minimal alcohol, cruciferous vegetables, and herbal allies like schisandra to help move excess estrogen and brighten liver function. For lymph, daily movement and simple practices restore flow; for the pelvis, breath-led hip circles and warmth rekindle Shakti.

We also talk ritual and food as medicine. Yoni steaming with soothing herbs can nurture pelvic circulation when approached with care. Nutrient-dense whole foods, steady blood sugar, sprouts and microgreens, and mineral-rich teas help rebuild from the inside out while dialing down inflammation and cortisol. The final piece is identity work: clearing emotional backlog, releasing roles that no longer fit, and decluttering spaces so new power can land. The question becomes both compass and catalyst: Who are you ready to step into?

If you’re standing on the edge of a pivot, this conversation offers practical steps and deep encouragement to root wealth in the body, lead with feminine rhythm, and claim midlife as your evolution.

Hi, my name is Tara Preston and welcome to the Radiant Midlife podcast. I'm here today to talk about cultivating the feminine wealth frequency in midlife for more glow, more flow, and divine abundance. So if you're here, you most likely understand that midlife is a pivotal portal of reclamation, of life reinvention, and of recalibration into more of your evolution. I certainly believe that. I've been working with women for well over 16 years in the space of divine feminine empowerment globally. And I've been fortunate enough to work with women through this very pivotal time. If we're able to grab a hold of the energy present, we can really use it as a catalyst for stepping into more. However, at a foundation level, at a body level, a lot of women start to feel a sense of depletion, maybe a dullness in their life, something maybe feeling like it's missing. And this is where we actually need to come back into our body, right? And midlife, wealth, glow, and leadership, it has to live in the body. And I want to speak to that a little bit today, because for so many of us, and even, you know, for myself, who I've been doing a lot of work in devotion to the feminine, listening and honoring my body, even when midlife hit, it was very clear that my body foundation needed an upgrade. I had to start to listen to her, to attune to her, and to partner with her in really new and different ways. If I wanted to continue to create and lead from the power of my feminine. And what that actually meant for myself is going deeper into womb work, to stabilize the foundation of it all. So much of our creative power, right, as women actually rests in the foundation of the womb as a way to anchor our power. When we're able to do this, it actually allows us to create, do, manifest, and lead with an entirely different muscle. However, we've spent most of our life, right, overriding our feminine cycles, overriding our feminine system. And we've been conditioned to disconnect from a deeper part of us that actually really desires rhythm and flow and sustenance and nourish and nourishment. When we can actually recalibrate back to that, we start to work out and grow the foundation of a feminine muscle of creation and power. And it actually allows us to get our glow back, get our flow back, and to create prosperity from a totally different muscle. And so I want to really speak to that today. Wealth is often a sense of it's consciousness, but it's also an embodiment and deeply for women, again, connected to the womb. Glow is really that, you know, that sense of vitality and radiance. For me and for many women, it comes from stagnation in the pelvic bowl. And it can often come from um nutrient depletion that often impacts a woman as well. And you know, a lot of Tiananmen talk about a couple different practical pieces in terms of what it means to really get our glow back. But those are some key pieces that I want to talk about as well. Abundance for women, ultimately, especially if we've been moving through our life for a long time, kind of holding it all together, pushing and like really holding the organization and the structural aspect of our life from a more masculine way of being, creates a lot of energetic depletion. Our vitality comes from the nourishment of our feminine, being able to hold more and more feminine energy and midlife, because our body's already undergoing a metamorphosis energetically, hormonally, emotionally, at the level of our bodies physically, it's the perfect time to recalibrate and bring our systems into a deeper space of harmony to really allow for this beautiful frequency and way of creative power to land. And this is especially true if you're a woman who feels like you're on the edge of a pivot, right? There is a new way that you are being called forward. There is a new vision that you are being called into. Midlife becomes the portal and the foundation becomes absolutely necessary. So again, I was talking about why this depletion even happens. And for a lot of women, we've been conditioned to override our feminine system, to really hold a lot, even our families, from that more masculine kind of energetic, logic, strategic organization, organizational mind. And it really creates a sense of depletion, almost frazzling the nervous system to a degree and depleting the feminine nervous system. So a lot of women reach midlife and they feel a sense of depletion. Even if they're a level of self-care, which a lot of women who come to me, um, even if they feel a sense of depletion and and their self-care is like really on point, this actually speaks to a capacity that's been drained. The the water in the well is quite low, right? There's like a sense of nourishment and depletion, and it's been happening for many years. So part of rebuilding this vitality glow, this radiance coming back into our wealth frequency is by focusing on nourishment, right? Is really by focusing on how do we rebuild depletion. And I'm gonna mention a few things here at the end of the podcast as well. A big part of overriding our feminine system comes from chronic overgiving. So even as somebody who has cultivated community and has been working in this field for a long time, space of feminine leadership, there has been um that imbalance of um overgiving and self-honoring. And so it's really making that invitation. Um, sorry, there's some background noise here, really making that invitation to bring things back into balance. Depletion is one of the signs that that things are out of balance in in that aspect. Um nervous system overload as well. You know, I work with a lot of leaders uh and visionaries who have teams, who have communities, and they they hold a lot, right? They hold a lot for their families, they hold a lot for um their teams, they hold a lot for their communities. And so there's this sense of where can you let go of what's not yours, right? Where can you start to manage and lead from a place of regulation, yes, but also by identifying where you're caretaking or holding on to more than you need to be. I want to speak to also this, in essence, this living from obligation instead of truth, which is a core theme that I often see for women and something that we've been conditioned to do. A lot of society has been conditioned to do this, but for women in particular, there's this sense of obligation and continuous ride overriding of truth. So, of course, if we want to bring our systems back into vitality and back into overflow, right? And really get that glow back, that shakti essence, then we have to really acknowledge where we've been working out of obligation rather than self-honoring, rather than listening to a deeper truth of what really works for you. What are you really ready to let go of? What's no longer suiting you? Where are you tired of performing? Right? Where are you tired of overreaching or overgiving in certain relationships or relationship dynamics? So these things all often come into play when we're really looking at how do we upgrade this feminine wealth frequency at a very foundation, foundational level as we step through and into this midlife recalibration. And truly, when we stop listening to the body, this is a core piece often that I'm supporting women in is listening and honoring to. Listening to the body, honoring the body, right? When we start to disconnect, which we have done for many women, overriding the feminine system for decades, we've not been taught to listen. So when we can actually stop and slow down and begin to cultivate spaciousness to listen and to honor, right? We start to feed and nourish our body foundations in an entirely new way. We start to move from that disconnect, that depletion, and into a space of nourishment, of vitality. We're starting to get that glow back, we're starting to prioritize our needs, our truth, our wants, right? And at a foundation, foundational level, you know, our nourishment. So I want to just talk about a few pieces that I often will weave in. And I think first of all, I want to speak to creating sacred space is often a key piece. And some women, especially some leaders who are, you know, very busy, don't really even know what to do with spaciousness. Right. And I think that first and foremost, just starting to cultivate, even if it's 10 or 20 minutes in the morning, to just recenter, to breathe, to move and to listen. Sometimes listening is actually more about listening to the more vulnerable, um afraid part of ourselves. Right. But giving that self space to breathe, to hear that part of yourself becomes really important. And as you do that, you start to unearth deeper layers of needs, right? You start to hear a deeper layer of truth. And so cultivating safe and sacred space by lighting a candle, maybe just having soft music playing and just being able to listen becomes really important. I really love to include movement, breath work, and movement, slow circular hip movements, stretching, slow, soft breathing, just letting the body relax, release, and move in a way that feels really soothing. It can be just gentle rocking or stretching, circular motions. These all feel really good to the system. And that brings me, you know, into this place of wanting to um speak to restoring flow. Um, that becomes important when we're talking about getting this glow, flow, divine abundance, right? Restoring flow, which actually, you know, addresses another layer of stagnation in the body. Where can you clear out stagnation? For women in our 40s, our liver is one organ that absolutely needs to be tended to. It tends to be an organ where there's sluggishness, especially in midlife, and lymph support. There's actually three key places that I find stagnation consistent for women that really can create a sense of dullness in the system, which is the liver, the lymph system and the pelvic bowl. So for the liver, there's so many ways to do gentle liver um cleanses. Um, for me, I really had to shift my diet. I took caffeine out, I really minimized alcohol intake, and I actually started working with Shassandra berry, became one of my key herbal allies, which is a beautiful berry that's often spoken of with high regard in traditional Chinese medicine. And it's a five, I think they call it a five-point berry because it is it covers the full range of the power of a herb, which is that it has, um, I hope I get this right, but Shassandra berry is a little bit sweet, a little bit sour, and um it has one other note to it. And so basically it's called the beauty berry because when you take shassandra berry, it has so many healing effects on the body. One healing effect is that it's really beautiful at moving excess estrogen out of the body, but helping to clear and support the liver and its overall function. I found um Shassandra berry to be a beautiful ally. Lymph support, if you're not exercising, then doing some type of daily, there's the daily five, um, you can Google that. Or doing some type of just gentle limph support is beautiful to start to move out sluggishness and just toxins that are sitting in the body that haven't been able to move out of the system. Um the pelvic bowl is so huge. We hold as women, we hold a lot of our radiance, our lot of our glow, our vitality, and our flow in the pelvic bowl. And again, when we're talking about the feminine wealth frequency, it is about anchoring it in through the foundation of the womb space. So glow, flow, divine abundance. One of the most beautiful practices that I highly recommend is a yoni steaming practice, which is, you know, well over 3,000 years old. There's evidence and teachings of it through found throughout Asia, and it is using steam and specific herbs. And if this is something that you want to learn more about, you can Google it. I would be cautious and find someone who knows a little bit about this process, especially if you're having reproductive health issues. Um, but there's really gentle ways using uh rose, chamomile, metal, lavender, herbal blend, and um steam. And the steam nanoparticles from the herbs can go up and into the womb space, clearing out stagnation, healing really helps beautifully uh with centering into the womb space and healing the mother as well. So that's one of my other favorite practices. And um yeah, and if you want more information about this, absolutely reach out. You can uh find me over on Facebook or just email me through the link on my website. When it comes to glow flow and divine abundance, when we're talking about anchoring into the feminine wealth frequency, um we want to get that Shakti flow going. So creative practices, but also, you know, shakti movement. So just I was talking about gentle stretching and movement, but you know, hip circles can be really beautiful either on all fours, breathing into the womb space, circulating circulating the hips or standing up or in goddess pose can be really beautiful and helpful as well. Pleasure is another aspect, and I like to include pleasure in whole food eating, nutrient-dense whole foods for myself coming into midlife. I needed to upgrade my diet, I needed to heal inflammation, I needed to really take down cortisol in my body, and I needed to really watch my insulin. This is a common piece for a lot of women. It'll it'll show up as a little bit of weight gain, sluggishness, feeling tired, or inflammation. So nutrient-dense foods for me meant, you know, clearing out and eliminating a lot of the white foods for me, which easily convert to sugar. So I cleared out a lot of rice, potatoes, french fries, chips, um, anything that was really high sugar. And I started to come back to a very nutrient-dense whole foods diet that actually also included like a lot of for me, leafy greens, but in particular sprouts. Mike greens and sprouts. Microgreens in particular, really um, because they're just young sprouts, microgreens, um, they have a lot of like vital energy, like adolescent like energy. Sorry, sprouts are a little bit different than microgreens, but they have a lot of that like vital adolescent energy. So when you consume them, they give uh radiance, they give a glow to your system. But in particular, taking down inflammation, lowering your sugar intake, and coming back to really nutrient-dense whole foods, whole grains, lots of leafy greens. I personally, my body loves them. Um, a lot of coniferous vegetables for your liver really made a huge difference in rebuilding my foundation and also remineralizing my foundation. I started to work with a lot of herbs, a lot of herbal teas when I was, you know, a few years ago or several years ago now, feeling that sense of depletion. It became it's, you know, to me, it's like preparing for the next stage of your evolution. What is the body asking for? What do you need? And especially if you're called to anchor into more power, which I believe midlife is that pivotal transition. We anchor well through the womb as we step into our power. We've been overriding the cyclical nature, the intelligence and the codes of prosperity that exist in our womb for decades. So to bring our foundation back at the level of the body, at the level of the womb, anchoring in a new frequency of feminine wealth to support your midlife evolution, we need to get a couple of these key pieces right in preparation for what it is that we are going to be called into for this second half of life, which ultimately is your power years. They are your power years. Midlife is not a decline. It is really the next evolution of your sacred feminine power. One final tip that I wanted to bring forward is releasing the old emotional and identity uh clutter. When I'm initially working with a woman, with a woman, and often when women come see me, they'll feel a little heavy, a little dull, right? They want to get that glow, that flow. And they really want to anchor in that wealth frequency. It's always met by, you know, how can we clear and release the old? That can be connected to, you know, an old identity, um, old emotions, you know, grief and sadness that need to be cleared, cleared out, clutter in the home, clutter in the kitchen, right? To make space for some of these um nourishment upgrades. And so that is my invitation to just take some time to really sit with, you know, where, what feels heavy in your life? What are you ready to let go of that maybe you've been procrastinating on or avoiding? This is the time, right, to sit with that, to process that, to journal it, to dance it, to move it out to a big part of my work is a cashic record work, right? To really start to unpack some of the deeper layers of what has been sitting below the surface that has hasn't been acknowledged, that needs to be processed, released, and acknowledged for a sense of lightness and movement forward while really starting to understand what parts of yourself are you ready to shed and let go of? They're not working for you anymore. It's feeling clunky. And who are you ready to step into? So I will leave you with that. And that is the beautiful question of who are you ready to step into? Who are you being called to be? How does she feel? How does she move through the world? How does she anchor into her power? Start to tune into that and from there start to play around with a few of these um steps and practices and pieces that I've given you so that you can start to anchor into your feminine wealth frequency as well, really coming back home to the glow that. Flow into divine abundance, which naturally flows through you and your experience as you anchor this frequency in through the foundation of your womb and your body.
