When the World Feels Heavy: Finding Light and Balance in Midlife and Menopause
If you’ve been wondering whether the exhaustion, irritability, and heaviness you’re feeling are from life or perimenopause — this episode is for you.
Dr. Taniqua Miller, OB/GYN and menopause specialist, gets real about what it means to navigate midlife when everything feels heavy — the news, the responsibilities, the caregiving, and the constant swirl of “doing it all.” She opens up about her own midlife funk, how a family trip to Dublin gave her perspective, and why sometimes the most radical act of self-care is simply admitting that you’re not fine.
You’ll walk away with practical steps to help you feel grounded again — from naming your feelings to checking in with your body — and permission to stop pretending everything’s okay when it’s not.
Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do in midlife is feel the feels and still show up anyway.
In This Episode
- The truth about midlife heaviness and “the funk” no one talks about
- How to tell if your fatigue and mood changes are menopause or modern life
- Why toxic positivity keeps midlife women stuck
- Simple daily practices for finding lightness in a heavy world
- The importance of community, compassion, and grace in the midlife journey
- A behind-the-scenes look at building Revival Women’s Health — and why Dr. T is creating a space for women to finally feel seen
