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.

Bonus Mini-Sode: Phoenix “Return to Center” Retreat (Feb 22) — Early Bird Ends Feb 6
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hey friends—quick bonus mini-sode, especially for anyone listening here in the Metro Phoenix area.
I’m popping in with an invitation to join me in person for Return to Center, a half-day retreat in Central Phoenix on Sunday, Feb. 22 (1:00–4:00 PM).
Early bird pricing ends Friday, Feb. 6, but that doesn’t mean registration closes—you can still sign up after Feb. 6 as long as space is available. We’re keeping this group intentionally small.
This is a grounded, supportive afternoon to slow down, reset, and reconnect with yourself—especially if you’ve been feeling stretched thin, or like you’ve been showing up for everyone except you. It’s held at a private residence in Central Phoenix (exact location shared after you register). All materials are included.
I’m co-hosting alongside three incredible local women:
• Cathleen Mitchell (Kaya Holistic) – earth-centered practices + herbal wisdom
• Kristen Fagan – an intuitive, tactile art experience (you’ll decorate your journal cover)
• Marney Henze – meditation, gentle breathwork, and immersive sound with crystal bowls, chimes, drums, and vocals to help you land, regulate your nervous system, and integrate what you’ve received before heading back into real life
I’ll also guide a self-love conversation about what it really means to stay with yourself and how to recognize those subtle moments of self-abandonment, even in small ways, and come back.
You’ll leave with fresh clarity for the year ahead and a Fire Horse ritual box that includes a handcrafted journal (customized by you), a grounding crystal, palo santo, a mini bronze bell with ribbon, Alice functional mushroom chocolates, plus Kaya Holistic’s Rhodiola tincture and Fire Horse herbal tea blend.
If you’re in Phoenix / Scottsdale / Tempe / Mesa / Chandler / Gilbert / Glendale and this is speaking to you, I’d love to see you there.
