307. The #1 Reason Midlife Women Feel Restless: And the Shift That Will Set You Free

 August 05, 2025


 

You’ve built a beautiful life, you’ve checked all the boxes… so why does it still feel like something’s missing? Why do you feel a little stuck, a little heavy, a little off? 

 

In today’s heartfelt solo episode, we’re talking about something so many midlife women feel but don’t always have the words for: restlessness.

Dr. Edie opens up about what this season of restlessness really means—and how it might not be a sign that something’s wrong, but instead a divine invitation to create, to express, and to finally share the wisdom that’s been growing inside of you for years.

If you’ve ever felt a holy nudge for “more” but weren’t sure what to do with it, this episode will speak straight to your heart.

đź’­ What We Talk About in This Episode:

  • Why midlife women often feel a sense of restlessness and resentment

  • The trap of over-consuming and under-creating

  • The unused wisdom inside you—and why it might be what’s weighing you down

  • The difference between Chronos and Kairos time (and how to live in the latter)

  • How creativity  (even something as simple as knitting!) restores your nervous system

  • The kind of soul-aligned living that actually gives you more energy

  • The spiritual shift that happens when you stop hiding and start expressing

🔥 A Quote to Remember:

“There are seasons when I thought I needed rest, but what I really needed was release.” —Dr. Edie Wadsworth
