If you've ever felt like you were holding it all together on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside as you navigate midlife, this episode is for you.
This week, I sit down with trauma and grief specialist Jill McMahon, who has spent over 25 years working with individuals through some of life's most devastating experiences.
Together we unpack something that you may have never considered — that the chronic stress of everyday midlife life may actually be living in your body as trauma.
This enlightening and informative conversation will validate what you have been feeling and give you real, practical tools to start healing. Even if you don't think you have trauma in your past, I promise this is an episode you can't miss.
In This Episode:
📌 How your body responds to chronic stress the same way it responds to a catastrophic event
📌 The connection between unresolved trauma and amplified menopause symptoms
📌 Why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to carrying an invisible load that quietly damages their health
📌 What the research says about trauma and cognitive decline in menopausal women
