Episode Description from the Publisher

For many women, the relationship with their own body has been adversarial for decades, something to manage or apologize for. Underneath that managing, the body has been trying to say something the whole time.Sana talks with life success coach Carolyn Hatton about women in their forties, fifties, and sixties who've absorbed the belief that aging limits them, and what changes when you stop fighting your body and start listening.About the Guest:Carolyn Hatton is a life success coach and author who works with women navigating midlife and beyond. She created Reclaim Your Second Act.Key Takeaways:Women's social groups often quietly pressure conformity; choosing to be different can mean real, if temporary, backlash.You get to be the gatekeeper of who has real influence over how you see yourself, including well-meaning family.Progress isn't a straight line; think of it like a speedometer, where the goal is drifting a little less each time.The words you use with yourself matter; calling something "suffering" primes you to fail before you start.If you've tried repeatedly without lasting change, getting a coach isn't failure, it's what serious pursuits require.
