  1. Why Women Lose Themselves - The Spiral, the Knots & the Midlife Awakening - Episode 321 Sandy Kruse 32:02

Send me a text! I’d LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!

If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “I don’t recognize myself anymore,” this episode explains exactly why — and how you find your way back.  

Women don’t lose themselves because they’re weak. They lose themselves because their brains adapt to decades of emotional labour, Caregiving, survival patterns, and the pressure to be everything for everyone.

In this deep, neuroscience‑anchored episode, I break down the four stages of the Unalome at a metaphor for a woman's life — the spiral, the knots, the straight line, and the point — the psychological and biological map of a woman who forgets herself… and then remembers.

You’ll learn:
• why women “disappear” inside roles, responsibility & emotional overload
• the brain changes that drive identity loss in your 30s, 40s & 50s
• why you repeat the same patterns (overgiving, overfunctioning, self‑silencing)
• the midlife awakening — the moment you finally say “I’m done”
• the four stages of the Unalome and how to know which one you’re in
• the practical steps that move you from overwhelm → Clarity → return

This episode is for the woman who whispers, “I miss me.”
You’re not lost. You’re in a stage — and stages have exits.
