The Boss Mom Podcast · 2026-06-04 · 37 min
This week isn't a how-to, it's a heart-to-heart. Dana sits down with meditation teacher Katy Rexing to talk about the midlife awakening for moms : that wobbly, something's-off, where-did-I-go season so many of us hit in our late 30s and 40s. If you've been quietly wondering whether something is wrong with you lately, this is the episode that tells you the truth. Nothing is wrong with you. You're right on schedule. Katy rebuilt her entire life from the inside out after years of "perfecting perfection" led her straight into panic attacks she couldn't name. Dana shares her own panic attack on a bridge and the traumaversary behind it. Together they get into why this unraveling is by design, and how to meet it with peace instead of fear.
