About this listen

Physical changes, caretaking demands, empty nests, and losing people we love—all on too little sleep—are common midlife experiences. But there is so much more to the story! Dr. Shayna Kaufmann draws from original research on 619 women worldwide, her psychology and Zen backgrounds, and her own midlife metamorphosis to craft an intimate deep-dive into the messiness and joys of the middle decades.

Blending research and anecdotes with humor and heart, Embrace the Middle will reveal:

  • The real struggles, rather than pop culture’s narrative, for women in midlife
  • The many minimized and disregarded gifts that come with age
  • That you have a choice to either accept or reject aging

A mindful, step-by-step approach called SOFTT for how to embrace midlife:

  • Slow down for perspective
  • Observe your thoughts for insight
  • Feel into your body for presence
  • Apply Tenderness for self-compassion
  • Tune in to your wisdom for direction

Embrace the Middle is accessible, rich, and empowering. You will laugh, cry, and think this book was written just for you.
