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.

Fallow Season & Shifting Energies: A Thanksgiving Meditation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this special Thanksgiving week episode, Lisa offers a 5-minute guided meditation to help you settle your nervous system, acknowledge the complexity of the holiday season, and reconnect with the grounded presence of Self.
This time of year can bring gratitude and connection — and it can also bring grief, loneliness, family tension, or emotional activation. We’re also in a powerful seasonal transition, moving from Scorpio’s deep emotional excavation into Sagittarius’ expansive, truth-seeking fire. And collectively, many of us feel the unsettled energy in our country right now.
This meditation weaves together the wisdom of the fallow season, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and seasonal astrology to help you find steadiness, compassion, and inner spaciousness — no matter what this week holds for you.
🧡 Reflection Questions
Use these prompts after the meditation to deepen your practice:
- Which parts of me feel activated by Thanksgiving week?
- Which parts feel grateful, and which feel heavy, resistant, or tender?
- How is the Scorpio → Sagittarius shift showing up in my emotions or energy?
- What does my Self-energy feel like today?
- What am I allowing to rest in this fallow season of my life?
- What small, honest gratitude can I acknowledge right now?
