Do you feel stuck in your midlife? A sense of knowing there has to be more for you, yet not knowing how to move beyond this feeling of stuck-ness?
Could you believe that that feeling is trapped within your nervous system and your subconscious?
If you said yes, how would you feel about being able to move beyond it so you may experience more of the freedom and joy that you deserve in your life journey?
I personally believe that midlife is the most excellent time to move beyond these stuck layers, and I'm grateful that our guest today will be shining some light on this topic.

Midlife is a time when everything changes and oftentimes it feels like all at once. One of the biggest changes is your physical body.
There's new and unfamiliar aches and pains that comes along with a consistent sense of discomfort. Oftentimes, it can be chalked up as part of the aging process, but what if it doesn't have to be that way?
In fact, what if nothing has to be the way it seems to be in a traditional midlife? What if you could feel good in your body while living out your sense of adventure in the process?
Our guest today is a brilliant example of both being possible.
