S7E3 - Midlife & the Mature Feminine Chapter with Sarah Booth

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

In the shower last night I noticed a whole heap of new grey hair. My body reveling the inner maturing I feel has happened these past few years.

Midlife is the phase around our 40s (I’m in my late 30s but already feel the phase of mature feminine midlife approaching - plus, my husband would tell you I’m an old soul).

Midlife is an often un-celebrated passage of time that creates many an identity crisis for women who have given so much of themselves, to family or career or the things we arere told to want… only to realize they don’t know who they are anymore.

Today on the podcast we’re speaking with Sarah Booth, a coach & midlife woman passionate about supporting midlife women to thrive, feel alive and live as their most adventurous selves.

During this podcast we’ll explore:

• The questions we ask at midlife: Is this it? Who am I? What’s next?
• Sarah’s sensible hysterectomy & the unexpected rupture it created spiritually
• Resentment, anger, rage & how it can spill over into our family
• Why midlife doesn’t have to mean changing your whole life
• The role of boundaries in making changes & an embodiment philosophy of boundaries

Earlier this year our school recognized Sarah’s work in our 2022 Excellence In Coaching Celebrations in the category of Excellence in Embodied Wellness Coaching - for practitioners working in the realm of body image, burnout, health & wellness, motherhood, menopause, transitions, rights of passage.
