The Emotional Truth | Nervous System Regulation, Somatic Healing For Midlife Women
Do you feel like you've done all the work — the therapy, the books, the retreats — and still wake up wondering why nothing has actually changed?
Are you carrying the weight of everyone else's lives while quietly running out of capacity for your own? Do you love your life some days and want to burn it all down on others?
If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
The Emotional Truth is a podcast for the midlife woman who knows something is still running in the background — she just hasn't been able to see it clearly yet. Each episode I will help you identify the patterns that have been quietly driving your decisions, your relationships, and your body's response to stress — and start living without them running the show.
Here's what we cover:
✔️ People pleasing and self abandonment
✔️ Emotional patterns in motherhood and relationships
✔️ Nervous system regulation for midlife women
✔️ Perimenopause anxiety and body changes
✔️ Mom burnout and mental load
✔️ Eldest daughter syndrome
✔️ Midlife identity and what comes next
✔️ Body based healing that actually sticks
I'm Lesley Turner — somatic and intuitive practitioner, former naturopathic doctor of eleven years, and creator of the SEER Method™. I spent over a decade helping women from the neck up before I realized the real work happens in the body. Now I help midlife women finally see what's been running underneath the surface — and what becomes possible when it stops.
Every episode is short enough for the school pickup line and specific enough to stop you in your tracks. Expect real stories, body-based truth, and the kind of pattern recognition that makes you pull over and think — wait, that's exactly me.
Hit subscribe and start with the episode that catches your eye. Your body already knows which one.
