In this episode of Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving we introduce you to Roseanne Nieboer. Roseanne tells us how she had an aha moment when she connected her yoga practice with the pain in her hip region. This led her to explore the connection between physical pain and suppressed emotions. She now helps others on their journey of self-discovery through yoga, chakras, and meditation. Dr. Natalie and Roseanne explore how awareness is key in understanding the energetic body and releasing emotional baggage from our pasts. Women in midlife often face challenges of reevaluating their lives and finding their purpose beyond their roles of caretaking and work. The principal theme of this conversation is finding a new purpose and direction in midlife. Many women in midlife feel blocked by external expectations and societal norms, and they want to break free and live life on their own terms. This often involves a shift towards a more spiritual and meaningful life, without necessarily adhering to a specific religion. Women, in particular, have a strong desire for connection and creating meaningful relationships. Embracing the wisdom and power of the crone archetype is seen as a gift in this stage of life.
