Episode 6 Reflections from the Middle | Week 2: Renew
Life isn’t falling apart — it’s asking something new of you.

In this episode of Reflections from the Middle, Jessie B and Maureen Mansi explore the emotional, physical, and identity shifts many women experience during midlife — especially around perimenopause and hormonal change.

Even when life looks “fine” on the outside, something inside may feel unfamiliar. Your body feels different. Your emotions fluctuate. Your sense of self begins to shift. And it can leave you wondering: What is happening to me?

In Week 2: Renew, we talk about:

• Why midlife changes can feel disorienting and emotional
• How perimenopause and hormonal shifts impact mood, body image, and identity
• The hidden cost of resisting change instead of listening to it
• Why renewal isn’t about becoming someone new — but honoring who you’re becoming
• How awareness and self-acceptance can help you feel more at home in yourself again

This conversation is for women over 40 who feel disconnected, tender, or quietly questioning who they are becoming — and want reassurance that they are not alone.

✨ Renewal doesn’t mean starting over. It means returning to yourself — with compassion.
