The world rewards our external achievements-titles, conforming to norms, possessions. But does our personal authenticity align with such a viewpoint?

Bridget Beldin achieved the "American dream"-a good job, a loving family, and even a Volvo station wagon! But she felt an unshakeable emptiness. Something was missing.

So she embarked on a journey to uncover her true self.

'What are the keys to navigating such a life shaking transition?

For Bridget, it meant discovering the importance of being value-driven and staying true to oneself. Learning to listen to one's intuition is vital, particularly in the face of fear. But the fear can also be a catalyst for change. Leaning into it by cultivating mindfulness and creating a space for stillness, answers from our inner wisdom can emerge.

Bridget's journey is a reminder that joy comes from within and is a choice we make every day. As she navigates her own mid-life, she inspires us to find our own joy as well.

As a biographer, Judy has dedicated her work to uncovering the stories of women who have made significant contributions to history, particularly in the realm of health activism. Her latest book, "Radical Sisters," highlights the lives of influential figures such as Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder, showcasing how their personal battles with breast cancer helped to ignite a movement that demanded attention and respect for women's health issues.

One of the most striking aspects of our discussion is Judy's insight into the emotional courage that women exhibit. She argues that while traditional definitions of courage often lean towards physical bravery, the emotional strength displayed by women in their fight against illness and societal norms is equally significant. This theme resonates throughout her work, as she emphasizes the need for women to speak up and share their stories, transforming their experiences into powerful narratives that inspire others.

This episode is not just a testimony to one woman's journey; it's a celebration of the strength and courage found in the collective experiences of women throughout history. Tune in to hear Judy's insights and to be inspired to share your own story, because every narrative matters.

Bronwyn Schweigert's journey to becoming an anger expert is both inspiring and enlightening. After experiencing two severe depressive episodes, she discovered that a common thread among her struggles and those of her clients was disassociated anger.

Anger, she explains, is not just an emotion to be feared or suppressed; it is a vital signal that can lead to healing and personal growth. Many of us have been conditioned from a young age to disassociate from our anger, often leading to mental and physical health issues. Bronwyn shares how this disassociation can manifest in various ways, including autoimmune disorders and chronic pain.

Healthy anger, she points out, is about assertiveness rather than aggression, allowing us to express our needs and protect ourselves. This shift in perspective is crucial for anyone struggling with feelings of shame or inadequacy.

Bronwyn also discusses the relationship between anger and victimhood, explaining how unresolved anger can lead to a cycle of shame and self-betrayal. By confronting our anger and processing it, we can break free from this cycle and cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves and others.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, personal development, or simply looking for ways to navigate their emotions.
