Midlife Rising
This is not just another midlife podcast about belly fat, Botox, or bone broth.
We’re not here to help you stay young, offer makeup tips, or share recipes to sneak kale into your brownies. If you’re looking for hacks to stay small or “age gracefully,” this might not be the space for you.
We’re here to burn down the old rulebook - and help you rise from the ashes.
We unpack the invisible systems and internalized conditioning that keep midlife women stuck, over-functioning, and exhausted. We talk about the links between patriarchy, stress, and menopause symptoms. This is the conversation behind the conversation—raw, wise, and necessary.
We’re Sheri and Jen - twin sisters, former “good-girls” turned paradigm-breakers, and your new favourite midlife truth-tellers. Our unfiltered conversations crack open the things women don’t say out loud. We’re here to offer you the tools, re-frames, and permission slips to finally stop performing and start becoming.
Expect “why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?!” kinds of insights, advice to nix your menopause symptoms without HRT, and paradigm-shifting “aha” moments that make you want to take your power back.
So if you’re ready to stop performing, and rise into the woman you were always meant to be - pull up a chair. We saved you a seat.

Feeling stuck when it comes to decisions in midlife? In this episode, we explore why intuition gets quiet - from conditioning and fear to nervous-system protection - and show a clear, practical process to retrieve and trust that inner voice.
Sheri shares a deeply personal example about decision-making around parenthood, while Jen walks you through concrete tools you can use right away to separate your true desires from the “shoulds.”
If you want to stop being driven by worry, or what everyone else wants for you - and start making choices that feel aligned, this episode is for you.
You'll discover:
- Why the universe simply reflects what you’re putting out - not a test you must pass.
- How conditioning, ego and the nervous system block intuition and create “I should” thinking.
- A repeatable step-by-step practice to quiet the noise, identify core desires, and test whether a choice is coming from intuition vs. fear.
- Practical exercises to calm the nervous system and listen reliably.

5 Key takeaways from this episode:
- Intuition often gets drowned by conditioning and “should” thinking — name the “shoulds” and you’ll begin to hear what you actually want.
- The nervous system protects you; if it doesn’t feel safe, it will sabotage riskier, intuitive choices. Learn to regulate the nervous system before deciding.
- The world/universe tends to reflect your inner clarity — if you’re unclear, many opportunities will show up; if you’re clear, reflection is clearer.
- Use the practical process Sheri and Jen describe: list fears & “shoulds,” identify what you truly want, test it in your body, and regulate your nervous system.
- Small decisions are practice: practice listening for intuition on low-stakes choices so you’ll trust it on big ones.
