In this empowering conversation with Lori Ann Roland (LPC, LCADC), we explore:

• Midlife as a psychological reckoning: why many women in their 40s–50s begin to question long-held roles and identity
• Untangling worth from roles: practical steps for distinguishing self‑value from being caregiver, partner, or professional
• Breaking through feeling “stuck”: what keeps women in midlife limbo—and how to take the first step forward
• Building self‑compassion: why it matters as much as building muscle, and where to begin
• Trauma & emotional suppression: how early experiences manifest as chronic stress or physical symptoms
• Boundary‑setting scripts: clear, compassionate language for communicating needs with partners, family, and colleagues

Lori draws on her clinical, fitness, and trauma work, including EMDR, to offer actionable frameworks, relatable strategies, and real‑world examples. Whether you’re leaning into change or seeking inner resilience, this episode will help you shift from surviving to thriving.

What if everything you were taught about being "strong" was rooted in burnout, body shame, and outdated expectations?

In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, we're flipping the script on strength, success, and self-care — especially for women in midlife. It’s time for a reset. One where muscle matters more than the scale, where boundaries are the new hustle, and where real power comes from saying no just as often as yes.

We’ll talk about why burnout isn’t your fault, how body image struggles shift in your 40s and 50s, and why midlife is actually your strength sweet spot. Whether you're rebuilding, reinventing, or just ready to redefine what strong means on your own terms — this episode is your permission slip.

Speaking of strong women...The Menopause Strength Society has your back!

From building muscle and metabolism to reclaiming confidence and rewriting the “scale story,” this episode is your reminder that strength—physical, emotional, and mental—is what actually moves the needle.

Whether you're lifting weights or lifting yourself out of old beliefs, this one’s for you.
