The Liberated Middle
The Liberated Middle is about awakening, releasing, and returning home to your truest and most authentic self. It’s for women in midlife who want real conversations, embodied wisdom, and tools to live a vibrant and authentic life.
If you’re a woman who’s done chasing perfection and ready to come home to yourself…
If you’re waking up to the truth that midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a powerful turning point…
You’re in the right place.
Hosted by Lisa Hamilton—embodiment coach, IFS practitioner, and integrative physical therapist, this podcast explores the real terrain of midlife: shifting hormones, changing bodies, evolving identities, and the inner work of releasing old narratives so you can live with greater vitality and freedom.
Lisa weaves science, soul, and story together with curiosity, compassion, and a touch of edge—offering grounded insights and practical tools you can carry into everyday life.
Get curious. Get clear. Get going.

Starting Messy: Perfectionism, FFTs, and Midlife Liberation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Midlife isn’t a crisis — it’s a liberation.
In this first full episode of The Liberated Middle, host Lisa Hamilton opens up about why she started this podcast and what liberation really means in the messy middle of life. She shares her own “FFT” (Brené Brown’s fcking first time*) of launching the show, her lifelong dance with perfectionism, and the career and life pivots that shaped her path.
From body changes and relationship transitions to career curveballs and fresh starts, Lisa reframes midlife as a powerful turning point — a middle way between extremes, and a chance to come home to yourself.
You’ll walk away with a new perspective, a simple reflection tied to the autumn equinox, and a sense of what to expect from the real, unfiltered conversations ahead.
Special thanks to my soul sister, Jen Wilking, for continued encouragement, learning and accountability in getting this project out into the world!
