Love From the Inside Out: Healing, Mindset and Confidence Tools for Women Navigating Anxiety and Midlife
Welcome to Love From the Inside Out, a podcast about healing, mindset, and confidence for women navigating anxiety, burnout, and midlife reinvention.
Hosted by Susan Kricun — former sports and entertainment PR executive turned storyteller, writer, and wellness advocate — the show blends heart, humor, and neuroscience to help women calm their minds, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with who they really are.
Each Thursday, Susan shares honest reflections and science-backed tools to help you move from survival mode to self-awareness. You’ll learn how to release stress, reframe your mindset, and rebuild inner confidence so you can live and love from the inside out.
If you’ve ever felt anxious, stuck, or ready for your next chapter, this show will remind you that peace, purpose, and clarity are already within reach — and it’s never too late to feel at home in yourself.
