Messy Midlife
Messy Midlife is what happens when three women, all naturopathic doctors and one a therapist, going through midlife, pull up a chair to talk honestly. It is all on the table - hormones, families, burnout, and rediscovering who we are. It’s unfiltered, funny, and healing, like eavesdropping on the table of women who just get it.

The Sacred Pause
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We explore the concept of the 'sacred pause'—a necessary moment of stillness that allows for reflection, connection, and personal growth. And of course, we get real with the challenges we have in pausing, and work our way to an experiment that just might help us find it a bit easier.
