The Grief No One Talks about in Midlife ...

✨ What if your midlife restlessness isn't burnout, depression, or dissatisfaction... but grief?

So many women reach a point where life looks successful on the outside, yet something feels off. The career is there. The family is there. The responsibilities are handled. But underneath it all is a quiet longing, a sadness, or a feeling that an important chapter has ended.

In this powerful conversation, Liz Svatek sits down with holistic psychotherapist Dr. Marcy Cole, to explore the hidden grief many women experience in midlife—the grief of changing identities, unrealized dreams, evolving relationships, empty nests, career transitions, and becoming someone new.

💫 What if grief isn't something to fix?

💫 What if it's an invitation?

💫 What if it's leading you toward the next, most authentic version of yourself?

This episode is a reminder that endings are often the beginning of something extraordinary.

🎧 Listen now and discover how to transform grief into growth, purpose, and personal awakening.

👇 Tell us in the comments:What transition has taught you the most about yourself?
