Show by Priya Sudarsanam
What if your life looks perfectly fine on the outside, but something inside you is telling you it no longer fits?In this episode of Unmute with Priya, I sit down with Melissa Maher, self-integration coach and mindfulness meditation teacher, to explore why midlife can feel so disorienting, especially for women who've spent decades doing everything they thought they were supposed to do.Melissa shares how a trip to Costa Rica in her twenties changed the way she saw her life and began her journey toward mindfulness, self-trust, and living on her own terms.We talk about the emotional upheaval of perimenopause, the pressure to keep pushing through exhaustion, and how even the self-help world can leave us feeling like we're another project that needs fixing.In this episode, we talk about:Why midlife can feel like a crisis even when nothing is technically wrongBreaking free from good-girl conditioning, people-pleasing, and perfectionismHow perimenopause can challenge your identity, energy, and sense of selfWhy constant self-improvement can become another form of self-criticismUsing mindfulness, self-compassion, and small daily practices to reconnect with yourselfYou don't have to figure everything out or become a completely different person. Sometimes the most meaningful change begins when you stop trying to fix yourself and start listening to yourself.Work with Melissa: Learn about her six-month Flourish one-on-one coaching program and upcoming group offerings through her website.Website: https://melissamericoaching.com
