Episode 59: Empowering Women in Midlife with Helene T. Stelian

EPISODE SUMMARY

As midlife women, reaching middle age comes with its own set of stressors. From menopause, to empty nests, women in midlife go through a plethora of changes. Midlife has a way of throwing constant emotional and physical curveballs our way, and we all handle these changes differently. For many women, it can be difficult to juggle everything at once. When these feelings of fear and being overwhelmed start to take over, it’s important that women have a place to seek guidance and support. Hélène Tragos Stelian is a certified life coach whose work has helped empower midlife women and give them a sense of community. Through her group and private coaching sessions, Hélène offers a judgement-free zone for women to express their concerns and receive feedback that can help them move forward with their lives. Along with coaching, Hélène is also a speaker, author, blogger, and runs a Facebook group for midlife women called “Empowering Women in Midlife”. In today’s episode, we talk to Hélène about challenges midlife women face, midlife crises, the “U” curve, and the bright sides of entering midlife.
