The moment you realize your life looks “fine” but feels wrong can be terrifying and clarifying at the same time. I’m sitting down with Nathalie Cordell, an accredited psycho-spiritual coach and the author of Awakening the Sleeping Queen: How to Reclaim Your Feminine Wisdom and Power, to talk about that exact threshold. Nathalie shares how a slow-building discontent, plus a family health crisis, snapped her awake and made the old metrics of success feel meaningless.
We dig into why so many women fall asleep to their own needs and intuition, and why midlife often triggers a crisis of meaning. Nathalie explains her psychosynthesis lens, the idea of sub-personalities, and how protectors like the inner tyrant (perfectionism, overdoing, control) and the inner witch (cold anger, shutdown, revenge fantasies) aren’t “bad,” they’re trying to keep us safe. We also talk about reclaiming the crone era, the powerful wisdom that can come with aging, and why anger is energy that needs movement, not shame.
Then we get practical: remothering, emotional safety, and how to start listening to the nudge without rushing to fix yourself. Nathalie’s favorite first step is journaling because it helps you see patterns clearly and reconnect with your authentic self from the inside out.
If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your worth and start living with real inner sovereignty, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a friend who’s feeling the shift. And help Jen out, leave a five-star rating and a review so more women can find this work.
