Thank you for tuning back in to The Magical Midlife Crisis Podcast! WE LOVE YOU! If people can hate for no reason, then we can love for no reason! That's a quote, somewhere :)

We, Meg & Court, open with reflections on gratitude and the importance of genuinely feeling it, touching on quantum alignment when heart & mind coherence is achieved. We talk how media and societal programming often incite fear, which we contrast with their aim to nurture love & connection. 

Valentine's Day prompts a light-hearted exchange about its commercialization, which segues into personal revelations about our paths to self-growth, the influence of our relationships, and harnessing inner love. We also (as often) include the transformative effects of adopting healthier lifestyles, the significance of overcoming life's lows through inner work, and the joy of fostering loving connections in all aspects of life, including work. 

The discussion encompassed the impact of our support system, the essence of doing work that fulfills us, and shared personal anecdotes that illuminate our journey towards self-love & personal growth.

In this episode of 'Magical Midlife Crisis Podcast', we talk about our incredible experience practicing a mind-body movement called Steel Mace Flow!

SMF is a unique form of fitness, aimed at connecting the mind & body creatively. For Court, it began with a recommendation from a friend at their yoga studio. Despite her initial reluctance, with all kinds of insecure thoughts, she now regularly practices Steel Mace Flow and even performed in a public showcase, which proved to be an emotionally exhilarating experience for both her & Meg!

Meg shares more about an intense experience on the drive home from the show. Extreme emotions from high vibe ecstasy to what felt like could have been a near-death experience!

Thank YOU for coming back to The Magical Midlife Crisis Podcast! Merry holidays to you & yours!

Flying solo in this episode as my co-pilot Meg is plugged into her own health & family during this holiday season - send her prayers & high vibes!

Decided to take this moment to reflect on the year of 2023 from my perspective... it's been EXPANSIVE! Sooo many eureka moments came to light from all of the darkness that i've experienced since my earliest years.

Here are some highlights:

• this episode is "action" following all of my growing awareness to these traits of me that I no longer want to be victim to:  perfectionism, self sabotage, procrastination, feeling dumb, to name a few
• thus, I am showin up to keep growin up - emotionally
• the light-lessons that appear from the darkness often don't come until we CHOOSE to look within the darkness to see them... instead of "avoid" which I've always done until self-development came into my life
• much of my darkness stems from the emotional disconnect in the home I grew up in
• getting to the root of these insecurities has allowed me to move through them and on to the brighter side
• just turned 40! the older i get, the younger i look and feel!
• using the metaphor of life as an amusement park, every experience is a ride within it
• "collaboration" has been my superpower word for the year of 2023, maybe even for the rest of my life! gonna keep wearing it until something else replaces it... which I'm not sure what could, it feels THAT POWERFUL!
• my biggest revelation from my 6-month self-transformation course was my darkness connected to "family" and how I've allowed that darkness to bleed into my 'now' family - and the brightest light i discovered and have no reclaimed my power within all my family connections

It means a lot to utilize this thing called a podcast to connect with you all. I TRULY want to hear your own reflections that come to mind as you've listened or when you tune back in... with any dark moments in your life where you found a better or more magical outcome - if you're listening on Spotify - comment in the Q&A box under this description. If you're tuning in from apple podcasts - leave your reflections in the reviews. Grateful to connect with you in all the ways!

We are Grateful to be back and plugging in to your soul waves through The Magical Midlife Crisis Podcast! Another couple of dots connected in this episode by another friend - Shannon! Woot woot! Who introduced us to Kristin Weinberg.

We connected with Kristin, and she shared her reflections on past experiences and challenges that inspired her to move toward the power of vulnerability, femininity, and creative expression. This episode is a profound exploration of resilience & healing. Kristin's highlights:

• her background, her interests and her struggles
• the magical moment she found her husband
• the journey to starting a family, struggles with infertility
• the magical story on her dreams about her adopted son before he was born
• how she started seeing a chiropractor to help deal with shoulder pain, which in turn helped release trauma, her learning of trauma being stored in the body, particularly in women
• stepping into her feminine power.
• how she started creating art again…photography, dance, play in the middle of living
• manifesting of her women portraiture exhibit & podcast called The Softening

Huge hugs & appreciation for Kristin's willingness to use her voice & put words to the feelings and experiences throughout her life - to seeing the light on the other side of the darkness. It was special to get to sit with you and hear/view the world from your lenses.
