Love From the Inside Out: Real Life Conversations for Women Going Through Midlife, Menopause Body Changes and Identity Shifts
Love From the Inside Out is an honest, empowering podcast for women in midlife navigating menopause, body changes, burnout, boundaries, relationships, self-trust, anxiety, and identity shifts.
Hosted by Susan Kricun, storyteller, PR strategist, speaker, and midlife woman navigating many of these same questions herself, this show offers grounded reflections, real conversations, and relatable stories to help you feel seen, less alone, and more connected to yourself again.
If you’ve been wondering, “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?” or “Who am I now?” this podcast meets you in that in-between place with honesty, warmth, humor, and perspective you can use in real life. The conversations are emotionally honest without being heavy, reflective without feeling overly therapeutic, and real without leaving you stuck in what feels hard.
Whether you’re navigating menopause, midlife anxiety, body image, people-pleasing, burnout, grief, marriage, friendship, boundaries, reinvention, self-doubt, or the feeling that your old roles no longer fit, each episode is designed to help you slow down, name what you’re feeling, reconnect with your own voice, and begin trusting yourself in this next chapter.
With decades of experience in storytelling, communications, and connecting people through honest conversation, Susan explores the emotional side of midlife, the parts we don’t always say out loud, but so many women are quietly carrying.
At its heart, Love From the Inside Out is about telling the truth about this season of life without making midlife feel like something to survive. It is about noticing what you’ve been carrying, questioning what no longer belongs to you, and remembering that this part of life can still hold beauty, joy, movement, confidence, friendship, laughter, style, pleasure, freedom, and a deeper connection to yourself.
You’ll hear honest solo episodes and real conversations about midlife, menopause, body changes, self-trust, people-pleasing, burnout, boundaries, identity, grief, anxiety, relationships, and what it means to stop living on autopilot.
If you’re asking, “Is this menopause, midlife, burnout, anxiety, or something else?” “How do I stop people-pleasing and trust myself again?” or “What do I want for this next part of my life?” you’re in the right place.
New episodes every Thursday. Follow along for honest conversations about midlife, menopause, self-trust, and coming back to yourself.

How to Create Abundance Without Abandoning Yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if abundance isn’t about getting more — but about caring for what you already have?
In this episode of Love From the Inside Out, Susan reflects on an unexpected lesson about abundance after repotting a money tree plant. What started as a simple moment turned into a deeper realization about care, attention, self-loyalty, and why things in life rarely fall apart overnight.
Through this personal story, Susan explores what an abundance mindset really means beyond money, how inconsistent care can quietly affect our relationships, health, creativity, and peace, and why true personal growth often begins by tending what is already present in our lives.
In this episode, we explore:
• abundance beyond money
• why things don’t fall apart overnight
• self-loyalty vs self-abandonment
• creating the conditions for growth
• tending what already exists in your life
