The Emotional Truth | Body Based Healing For Midlife Women

Send us Fan Mail Stop getting rid of your limiting beliefs as a midlife woman! You've done the workshops, the breathwork, the journaling, maybe even the retreat, and you've worked so hard at releasing limiting beliefs. You feel lighter for a week. And then the same pattern comes right back, with a fresh layer of shame on top: Why is this still here? I already released this. What's w...

Send us Fan Mail If you've ever wondered what working with a somatic coach actually looks like — or what somatic coaching packages typically include — this episode breaks it down completely. I walk you through my full offer suite: the free Pattern Discovery Call, the Intuitive Circle membership, 1:1 SEER Sessions, and VIP Days, so you know exactly where you land. I start by describing the wom...

Send us Fan Mail If you've been circling the same pattern for months — the same argument, the same overwhelm, the same story — without anything actually shifting, this episode is for you. I'm walking you through The SEER Method - somatic, energetic, & emotional release — what it actually looks like, step by step, when someone's sitting across from me. This isn't theory. It&...

Send us Fan Mail I've spent years watching what happens the moment a nervous system finally stops bracing and lets somatic healing actually do its job. This episode isn't a framework — it's proof. Real transformations from real women I've had the honor of working with. No theory, no fluff, just what emotional pattern work actually looks like when it's working. These aren&a...

Send us Fan Mail Why am I still stuck, even after years of doing "the work"? If you've read the books, journaled about the same anxiety at midnight more times than you can count, and had the breakthrough on a walk or mid-session with a practitioner — and you're still landing in the exact same place — this episode is for you. In this episode of The Emotional Truth, I walk throug...

Send us Fan Mail I used to think if I could just explain a pattern clearly enough — to myself, to a therapist, to a friend at brunch — it would eventually stop running me. That's why self-awareness isn't enough on its own, and it took a client of mine catching herself mid-explanation, twice, before I could actually show her what was missing instead of just telling her. In this episode I...

Send us Fan Mail Why am I still triggered after years of therapy? I used to think if I could just explain a pattern clearly enough, it would finally stop running me. Turns out understanding something and being free of it are two completely different things — and that gap is exactly what I'm getting into in this episode. I had a client on the table recently — body work, low-key session — when...

Send us Fan Mail If you've been searching for how to get over a toxic interaction that keeps replaying in your head no matter how many times you've talked it out, this episode is for you. I see this constantly with clients — they've processed something out loud with a trusted friend, sometimes more than once, and it should feel done. And yet weeks later, it's still there, still...

Send us Fan Mail There are four signs the good girl is dying, and if you've only noticed the loudest one, rage, there are three more underneath it worth knowing about. I see this constantly in my client sessions: a woman who has spent decades being agreeable, easy, and no trouble at all suddenly finds herself reacting to things that never used to bother her — and rage is just the first of fou...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt exhausted in a way that a good night's sleep or a weekend off just doesn't touch? That's the kind of burnout I'm talking about in this episode — not the kind rest fixes, the kind that shows up even after you've done everything right. I'm sharing a real two weeks from my own life — my husband off work, both of us somehow getting busi...

Send us Fan Mail Ever notice how one drink can leave you feeling completely disconnected from yourself the next day — flat, insecure, or unable to name why? That's emotional numbing, and I learned firsthand that it's not just a mood. It's your nervous system's built-in "quiet down" switch getting flipped without your permission. In this episode, I'm sharing two p...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever said yes to something and felt your whole body go "ugh" the second the words left your mouth? That's people-pleasing, and if you've spent your life calling yourself "a people pleaser," I want to push back on that a little. It's not who you are — it's a pattern in your body, and patterns can shift. In this episode, I'm tell...

Send us Fan Mail Self abandonment is one of the most common patterns running underneath the surface for midlife women — and most of them don't even know it has a name. If you've ever downplayed a win the second someone noticed it, apologized for taking up space, or told yourself to just get over a feeling that was actually real — that's not modesty. That's not personality. That...

Send us Fan Mail If you've done the therapy, read the books, and still wake up wondering why nothing has actually changed — this is where you start. In this trailer for The Emotional Truth, Lesley Turner introduces the podcast built for the midlife woman who is done being the most self-aware stuck person in the room. You'll hear who this show is for, what somatic and intuitive pattern wo...

Send us Fan Mail You hit the goal. You waited for the feeling. Something else showed up instead — and it wasn't gratitude. It was a quiet question: did I do this wrong? Jenna Kutcher wrote something recently that hit a nerve for thousands of women. Her Substack essay The Honey Isn't The Point named the pivot so many high-achieving women are making right now — away from the hustle, toward...

Send us Fan Mail Every woman I've worked with has tried something that worked - until it didn't.  A diet, a program, a medication. The number moved. The clothes fit differently. And then it plateaued, or she stopped, and within weeks she was back where she started wondering what was wrong with her.  Nothing was wrong with her. The pattern that was driving the behaviour was never part of...

Send us Fan Mail Elaine Timms built a Pinterest strategy business that grew to 100K sessions/month, sold a blog for five figures, and has spent almost eight years helping entrepreneurs get their content working long after they hit publish. She's also someone who spent years in fight-or-flight without knowing it — outsmarting everything, including herself. In this conversation, Elaine and I ta...

Send us Fan Mail You've been telling yourself you're fine. Your shoulders tell a different story.  Five months ago I noticed something. I assessed it - clinically, carefully - and decided it could wait. What followed was a mammogram, a biopsy, a titanium clip, and eventually a day surgery where I showed up in a brown hospital robe to the worst TOGA party in history!  This isn't a me...

Send us Fan Mail If you've tried and quit every workout routine you've ever started, this isn't a discipline problem. It's a nervous system problem.  I share the honest story of every movement format that didn't work for my body - including a spin class that ended disgustingly - and what I finally figured out about why. We get into what cortisol actually does, the differen...

Send us Fan Mail There are incredible posts about the eldest daughter all over social media. They talk aobut burnout, resentment, the productivity that never stops. They're not wrong. But they're not the full story either. The wound isn't just being asked to do too much - it's that existing without function started to feel like disappearing. This episode goes deeper than the co...

Send us Fan Mail Britt Holmes built a business, got knocked sideways by life, and came back - not the same way, but more herself. We talk about business, family, ADHD, and what it actually looks like to rebuild after the kind of hard that doesn't have a clean narrative.  Britt is an ads and media specialist, founder of Merit Media and Founders Advisory, and one of the most honest people I kno...

Send us Fan Mail Within 60 seconds on a dating app, I knew.  Not with my brain - with my whole body. This episode is about what it felt like to have a full-body yes and a full-body no, and how that same somatic awareness showed up in my business long before I had a name for it. If you've ever second-guessed what you already knew, this is that episode. Book 1:1 here

Send us Fan Mail I don't feel mom guilt. Not saying that to be provocative - I'm saying it because the way we talk about mom guilt is keeping women stuck in smallness. This episode is about what mom guilt actually is, where it comes from in the nervous system, and why all the reframing in the world doesn't touch it. And what starts to happen when it finally begins to loosen. Book 1:...

Send us Fan Mail I paid $15,000 for a program my intuition told me to walk away from. And when it came time to say it wasn't working - I didn't ask for a single dollar back. That wasn't a financial decision. That was a pattern making decisions on my behalf. The over-explaining. The going cold. The avoiding until it becomes a crisis. The shrinking when you need to stay present. That&...

Send us Fan Mail Nobody in my family abandoned themselves this week. Not Tyson. Not Jarrett. Not me - even when it would have been easier to push through, perform fine, and call it responsible. This episode is about what it actually looks like to not disappear in the small moments. The costume on the table. The cancelled week. The thing you've been carrying and calling not a big deal. Your bo...
