From Capable to Carrying Everything: Reclaiming Boundaries & Identity in Midlife | Fabulous After 50
In this episode of Fabulous After 50, I interview Idaho-based transformation coach and keynote speaker Sandra Wood about the hidden cost of being “the capable one” and how carrying too much can shift from something women do to who they believe they are. Sandra shares how a breast Cancer diagnosis at 40 forced her to slow down, reassess her identity, leave an unhappy Marriage, and rebuild her life and career, including leadership roles in nonprofits such as Ronald McDonald House and CancerCare. Together they discuss midlife as a time of questioning roles, reconnecting with internal desires and Wisdom, and learning to set boundaries without over-explaining or people-pleasing. Sandra describes her Coaching approach to help women calm an overtaxed nervous system, regain Clarity, and define non-negotiables so competence doesn’t become everyone else’s convenience.
