What if the exhaustion, irritability, overwhelm, and restlessness you're experiencing in midlife aren't signs that something is wrong—but messages your body is trying to send? For many women, these symptoms are rooted in chronic stress in women over 40, a growing health concern that impacts everything from hormones and sleep to mood, energy, and overall well-being.
In this powerful episode of the V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, Lynnis Woods-Mullins sits down with psychotherapist, holistic coach, yoga philosophy teacher, and author Catia Batalha to explore how chronic stress affects women over 40 and what many are truly craving beneath the surface: a regulated nervous system, healthier boundaries, deeper self-trust, and a renewed connection to their inner wisdom.
Together, they unpack why modern life keeps so many women stuck in chronic stress and survival mode, and how ancient yoga philosophy offers a pathway back to balance, healing, and self-discovery. You'll learn why yoga is about far more than physical flexibility, how meditation and relaxation create space for clarity and truth, and why listening to your body's wisdom may be one of the most important skills of midlife.
This conversation also takes a deep dive into boundaries—not as a trendy self-help concept, but as essential physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual protection. Catia shares practical insights on navigating relationships, work pressures, personal growth, and the courage it takes to stop living for external validation and start living in alignment with your authentic self.
Whether you're navigating menopause, burnout, life transitions, anxiety, people-pleasing, or simply feeling called to something more, this episode offers compassionate guidance and practical tools for creating a calmer, more empowered life.
