Love From the Inside Out: Honest Conversations for Women About Midlife, Menopause, Body Changes and Becoming Yourself Again
Love From the Inside Out is an honest, empowering podcast for women navigating midlife, menopause, body changes, anxiety, burnout, relationships, shifting identities and the question so many of us quietly ask: “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”
Hosted by Susan Kricun, storyteller, PR strategist, speaker and midlife woman navigating many of these same questions herself, the show offers honest solo episodes, meaningful conversations and relatable stories to help you feel seen, less alone and more connected to yourself again.
Whether you are struggling with menopause symptoms, body image, people-pleasing, boundaries, grief, marriage, friendship, self-doubt, or roles that no longer feel like they fit, these conversations explore the emotional side of midlife without making this season feel like something you simply have to survive.
With warmth, humor and grounded perspective, Susan helps you slow down, name what you are feeling, reconnect with your own voice and begin trusting yourself in this next chapter. The conversations are emotionally honest without always feeling heavy, reflective without being overly therapeutic and real without leaving you stuck in what feels hard.
Because midlife is not the end of who you were. It can be an invitation to question what no longer belongs to you, remember what makes you feel alive and become more fully yourself again.
New episodes every Thursday featuring honest conversations about midlife, menopause, body changes, self-trust, relationships, identity and coming back to yourself.

How Losing My Job Sparked a Midlife Self‑Love & Personal Growth Reset
What happens when the moment that’s supposed to break you becomes the doorway to everything real? In this opening episode, I take you back to the day I was fired for refusing to compromise my values in a male‑dominated sports world—and how that “worst day” cracked me open, not apart. It was my #MeToo before it had a name… and the beginning of rebuilding my life from the inside out.
If you’re a woman in midlife who’s done “all the right things” and still feels off—burned out, boxed in, or just hungry for more—this is your invitation inward. I’ll share how I went from chasing external validation to cultivating true self‑love, boundaries, and purpose. You’ll hear the seven pillars that guide this show (and my life), and why loving yourself isn’t fluff, it’s a strategy for living.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The gut‑punch of getting fired and why it became freedom
- Choosing your values over approval (even when it costs you)
- What “inside‑out” really means for healing, growth, and reinvention
- The seven pillars that will anchor every episode moving forward
- How to start your own reset with simple, doable shifts today
This podcast is for you if:
- You’re navigating midlife transitions (career, relationships, identity)
- You’re craving personal growth, deeper self‑trust, and true alignment
- You’re tired of surface-level “self-care” and want real tools that work
- You want honest conversations, practical guidance, and heart-centered community
