Welcome to this episode of the podcast, where we'll be discussing a topic that is near and dear to my heart as both a clinical psychologist and a woman in midlife. As we navigate the demands of work, family, and other responsibilities, it can be easy to fall into the trap of putting everyone else's needs ahead of our own. This can leave us feeling depleted, stressed, and even resentful. In this episode, we'll explore strategies for breaking free from the martyr mentality and becoming a master of our own time. We'll discuss the importance of setting boundaries, saying no when necessary, and carving out time for self-care. We'll also delve into some of the barriers that may be preventing us from prioritizing our own needs and explore ways to overcome them. Whether you're a working mother, a caregiver, or simply someone who struggles with putting yourself first, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore the challenges and rewards of becoming a master of your own time, and learn how to reclaim your power and your sense of well-being in midlife. Join Dr. Natalie as we delve into the mysteries of the midlife body and mind. From exploring the benefits of a good laugh to discussing the power of touch, this is a fun and informative podcast episode that will help you live your best midlife.
