In this episode, Michelle is joined by clinical psychologist Shayna Kaufman to explore the concept of empowerment during midlife. Shayna redefines midlife as a time of strength and opportunity, rather than crisis and shares her journey from a demanding career in forensic psychology to becoming a certified meditation teacher. Together, they discuss the challenges and empowerment of aging, societal pressures on beauty, and the wisdom gained with age. The conversation also covers the importance of women supporting each other, the benefits of retreats for self-discovery, and balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Shayna shares her insights on grieving the loss of physical capabilities with humor and self-compassion, and both women emphasize the value of setting boundaries and embracing the positive aspects of midlife. Dr. Shayna Kaufmann is a clinical psychologist, certified mindfulness meditation teacher, decades-long Zen practitioner, and Founder of Embrace the Middle—a company dedicated to serving women in midlife. Dr. Kaufmann is also a published researcher, a community leader, popular speaker, and former faculty at Alliant International University and National University. Her forthcoming book, Embrace the Middle, shares her original research findings on 619 midlife women worldwide and challenges the negative cultural midlife paradigm. The book will introduce SOFTT - Dr. Kaufmann's mindful, step-by-step approach to navigating the challenges and celebrating the many gifts of midlife.
