Have you ever wondered why midlife can feel like an emotional storm where the smallest things set off big waves, or you find yourself reacting in ways that don’t make sense anymore? You’re replaying old survival scripts your body once used to keep you safe.

In this episode of Journeys With My Body, we explore how midlife triggers trauma responses that have been quietly running in the background for decades and how your body’s wisdom is inviting you to rewrite the story.

You’ll discover:

• What silent scripts are and how they shape your reactions, relationships, and identity.
• Why nervous system healing in midlife is about unlearning urgency and re-learning belonging.
• How to recognize the subtle signs of over-functioning, over-apologizing, or disappearing, and what your body is really trying to say.
• A simple grounding practice called The 3-Point Now Reset to bring you back to presence anytime an old script starts running.
• Why your midlife “stress” might actually be your body asking for a new choreography, one built on safety, self-trust, and genuine ease.

If you’ve been feeling restless, disconnected, or like the life that once fit no longer does, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface — and how to begin writing a new, body-led story.
