Life Coach BFF Show for Midlife Women - Thrive in Midlife, Women Over 40, Women Over 50, Goal Setting, Navigating Menopause, Purpose Driven Life, Faith, Systems

Show Notes: Reclaiming Your Energy & Healing Past Hurts In this episode, Heather and Dr. Carol Lynn dive deep into the power of "cleaning out the temple." We explore how carrying emotional baggage from decades ago—even as far back as middle school—drains the energy we need for our lives today. From hilarious stories about homeschooling "mommy voices" to the profound act of giving our hurts to God, this session is a guided journey toward midlife freedom. Whether you're struggling with self-forgiveness or still reeling from a comment made to you in the sixth grade, it’s time to join the "We Do Not Care Club" and start healing. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Power of the "Brain Dump": Why writing it down on four lines of paper is better than letting it consume your entire brain at 3:00 AM. The Hormone Connection: How dropping progesterone in midlife can lead to increased rumination and "looping" thoughts. Naming the Weight: Identifying the "unpaid emotional bills" we’ve been carrying and learning how to finally settle the debt. Box Breathing for Stress: A simple, Navy SEAL-approved technique to reset your nervous system (and why you shouldn't do it if you're pregnant!). The "We Do Not Care Club": Embracing the freedom of your 50s and refusing to let other people’s opinions define God’s creation. Stewardship of the Soul: How letting go of the past allows us to be fully present for what God has for us in this season. Guided Journaling Steps: Name the Weight: Identify one specific hurt you’ve been carrying. Expose the Lie: What is that old wound telling you? (e.g., "I'm not enough," "I'm forgotten"). Reclaim the Energy: Consciously decide where that energy is going instead—to your family, your joy, or your future. Circle Your Word: Choose one powerful word (like Joy or Free) to focus on this week.
