236 | Summer Lessons and Functional Freeze in Midlife with Dr. Carol Lynn

In episode 236 of Life Coach BFF Show, Heather Pettey shares her top summer lessons, including avoiding large tubs of cheese dip and celebrating wedding anniversaries. She emphasizes moving for joy rather than fitting into smaller clothes and offers a unique anxiety relief tip involving sour candy.

 

Alongside her co-host, Dr. Carol Lynn, they explore the concept of 'functional freeze'—a state where women in midlife may go through the motions of daily life while feeling stuck or overwhelmed. They offer practical steps to overcome this, including breaking tasks into smaller parts, moving your body, talking to someone, adding joy back into your life, and giving yourself permission to rest.

 

They also announce the launch of 'My Midlife Moxie: The Ultimate Mindset and Wellness 90 Day Journal,' designed to help women navigate midlife transitions with guided prompts and inspirational content. The journal is set to release on September 4th on Amazon.
