Transitioning to midlife can be challenging for mental health.
In this episode of From Survivor To Thriver, we sat down with Elizabeth Cush to delve into the complexities of midlife transitions, anxiety, and personal healing.

Join us as we discuss how past experiences shape our present mental health and the significance of meditation and self-compassion. Elizabeth also talks about the importance of recognizing emotional needs, the power of lived experiences, and strategies for overcoming anxiety in your daily life.
Elizabeth Cush is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC), a women’s life coach, and a business owner in Annapolis, MD. She’s also the host of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast.
